Summer is finally here. Tis the season for crop tops and cool trousers. Recently, vintage looking outfits seem to catch my fancy. This outfit is something along those lines. I am currently all above high waisted skirts and pants with crop tops. I styled this outfit for a friend's dinner party. I had a meeting that day, so I actually wore a shirt through the day (remember this outfit) and then changed into the crop top and vest.










I have a lot of love for these trousers. They had to be altered and I can't believe I almost returned them! Thankfully, mom saw a way of altering them without messing up the silhouette. The button detailing at the waist is absolutely my favorite thing!  Oh, in case you've noticed, I've mentioned the approximate prices of items that weren't bought by me. A friend recently pointed out that I mention a lot of things that are gifted and in turn, don't add their prices to the overall total. Well, I may not always know the exact price of the gifts, but from now on, I'll mention prices of similar items. I hope this helps you guys get a better idea of the total outfit price range.

PS: Sorry I've haven't been posting regularly (Thank you, real life!). I've got a few people asking me if I'm unwell and its great to see that someone does read the blog and notices the absence of posts. I'm thankful for your kind words and I hope I can blog regularly soon. 

Workwear in India is usually a pair of pants and shirt. While I may talk about wearing smart skirts and suits, I've got a few people telling me they are not comfortable with the idea of wearing new dresses or skirts. So this is my take on wearing pants to work. My idea that, wearing a pant and shirt to work, doesn't have to be boring.







These high waisted pants were a  gift from one of my nicest friends. He is always around when I need him eventhough I never make nearly enough time to talk to him. (I really am sorry about that!). They have been worn so many times, and I get lots of compliments everytime! A pair of high waisted pants are very flattering for almost all figures. Not to mention they hide all those little lumps and bumps around the stomach.

If you notice the pictures, midway through the shoot, I realised I simply didn't like any of the pictures that were coming out, so I tied my hair in a messy braid. It isn't anything fancy, and a lot of times, you'll see me in some version of this by the end of the day. Honestly, a slightly messy hairdo works rather well with officewear. A statment necklace, and my go-to geeky glasses (these never seem to leave me these days, don't you think?) and I was ready to work in style!
