Chiconomical

Are you one of those people who dress in almost a uniform of monochrome to work? While I'm not exactly a 'working girl' yet, I have been doing a bit of work recently. Yes, with a desk and everything! (How grown-up am I?!) So while I don't have a lot of rules when it comes to dressing, I still like wearing something cute and smart. I wore this last weekend when the dress code was casual instead of formal. 

Remember the dress from Thrifty Thursday? How I went on and on about how versatile it was? Well, I've only gone and styled it for the weekend. This look is my version of 'chic' meets 'Indian' resulting in a little boho, a little quirky look.














I wore my dress with loud wooden accessories. There's something about this necklace that makes me feel bohemian. The leggings give a pop of colour and the dress makes a perfect backdrop to pile on the accessories. It works as a great base item that will mould to your mood everytime! I kept my hair messy and put it up with a couple of hair clips and pins. A little bit of gloss and I'm ready for vintage shopping or random exploring of the city. How I wish I had the time to do all of this! (Thank you Uni for effectively ruining my life!)

How would you style this dress? Tell me in the comments below. If you have anything you'd like to see on the blog, let me know!

Its Navratri again!! I can't believe its come back so soon! Time does seem to fly doesn't it? Last year, I celebrated the nine day festival with traditional Indian clothes (read sarees and punjabi dresses) as I was a 'professional' and working. This year, I'm a student again, which means I have the freedom to dress in quirky styles without worrying about working girl outfit rules! Yay!!

The color for the first day was Grey. While I own a lot of grey clothes, I felt it was a bit dull for the first day of a beautifully colorful festival. So I styled my grey skirt with my gorgeous neon top to give it that little pop of color and excitement!

I have a very weird fashion sense. That's something I've heard quite a bit at Uni lately. I'm not sure how much of that is true. I find to extremely difficult to balance the expectations of Uni dressing with my own personal style. So today's outfit is what I typically wear to Uni. Simple tunic top, jeans, heels. This is one of the rare outfits I wasn't told was not normal. Oh well, normal is overrated, right. Right?

This tunic is a few seasons old Remanika and is a worn a lot on an everyday basis. However, it hasn't made its blog debut till now. I added these fabulous feather earrings to give it a little boho edge. The trousers are shiny and surprisingly thin (a definite plus in the current heat wave).






How do you live with limitations at Uni? Do you have any fall back outfits you tend to sport in cases of (sleep deprived) emergencies? Tell me about them in the comments below or on Twitter or Instagram.

So its been about ten days of madness and I haven't been able to do anything other than think and breathe medicines and hospitals. This little outfit is what I wore last week when my mom was in the hospital and I was busy running errands. Denim is the easiest thing to wear when you don't know your work hours, and when its a denim overall, its totally awesome. Read, no need to look for a matching top!! Sold!!

I also think this is a cool way to welcome autumn, okay...erm...its still raining here so technically, its still summer/monsoon down here, but, a girl can hope right? I paired this with a simple crop top and heels. Although I have to be honest, these had come off in a couple of hours and were replaced by my trusty kicks.

Some outfits don't require a lot of thinking. A simple outfit with a combination of lace and bright cropped trousers is the best way to tackle the current weather(please stop PMS-ing). Add a jacket if the weather gets chilly (how I wish this would happen) or face the rains bravely with your cropped trouser length. Adding a pair of heels makes it a bit more feminine and classy.

Today's outfit post is a Throwback to simpler times in my life. If that's not your cup of tea, I guess you could skip reading and go straight to the pictures. (Wait, you don't already do that do you?)

If I could turn back time, I would be listening to a little group called Aqua (does anyone remember them?) and the title is a reference to their song.

If I could turn back time, I'd be swimming with my mom on lazy afternoons, pushing and kicking to win in races with her in the pool.

If I could turn back time, you'd probably still find me in this two piece that I bought in order to look a little different, but never wore for its intended event.

I haven't really grown at all in many ways have I? I still think ice-cream is a perfectly sensible breakfast choice, I'm still very possessive about my books and hoard them like there's no tomorrow, I still swim every free chance I get, I act on impulse and get annoyed at the drop of a hat.... and I still wear the same clothes!!
