Chiconomical

January always bring with it, lots of parties and while we all love to dress up, everyone has those days when you simply can't be bothered with the fuss of wearing pretty dresses and wanna wear your old favorite denims and still look chic. Well, I feel the same (always) and that's how I came up with today's look.


For this look I paired my denims with a simple peplum top. I think every girl should have a nice peplum top in her wardrobe. This is one style that suits practically everyone and instantly upgrads your look. Add a jacket for those cold walks back home and a nice pair of heels and you're all set. A simple, no fuss look that can be put together in minutes. Oh, and if all else fails, you can always fall back on the classic red lip. Trust me, everything is better with red lipstick.

Quick Tips to Wear Denims to A Party:

• Easiest way to upstyle a pair of denims is to wear it with a fun top. I'd say go for a beaded or sequined top and keep the rest of it simple.
• Not a sequins girl? Wear a simple tee and then a bright jacket for a no fuss but fun look. 
• A simple solid colored tshirt, jeans and a statment necklace are all one needs for a casual party. Add a pair of heels for extra oomph. 
• Running late and don't have time for all of the above? Just wear bright lipstick and pull your hair up in a messy ponytail. 
• Finally, remember that what you wear isn't as important as what you are. If you're having fun, doesn't matter if you're wearing a pair of sweats! You'll still be the prettiest girl there! 

Plaid is synonymous with winters. When mom and I went shopping last month, I saw this scarf and looking at the price tag, I couldn't resist. I love how the color makes it look a little different from the regular plaid scarfs, and its come quite handy in the winter mornings while travelling to college and also for making a fashion statement.









Today's pictures were taken in a particularly crazy mood. So I did a couple of silly things with the scarf. I think that a scarf is the most versatile piece of clothing anyone can have, and can instantly make a huge difference to any regular outfit.

For a girl who said she had no yellow clothes the previous day, I can't believe I managed to change outfits twice!! One for Uni and the other for a haircut (finally!!). Extremely proud of myself for managing to pull together these two outfits while rushing about with a million things in my head.

You can almost pretend I've chopped off my tresses!

Excuse the tired expression, this was after an very mentally exhausting day.

I've had a haircut!! How cool is the new, much more aligned hair? Oh, you can't really figure it out? Well, its a good couple of inches shorter and has a lot my structure up front. All in all, a pretty good cut that should last me through a few weeks.

What do you think of the new haircut? Also, what are you wearing this Navratri? Talk to me in the comments below or send me a line on Twitter.

Denim+Denim = more Denim!!!
Denim is the most commonly worn item in India. Walk down any street in my city, and your bound to spot atleast 3-4 people in various denim and denim-y variations. Of course, like any self respecting girl, I have a closet with a few dozen variations of denim jeans but this is my very first denim shirt. Okay, maybe not. Well...lets try that again, this is my very first denim shirt- bought by me! (remember the shopping haul from here)




I love the tie-n-dye effect of this shirt. Although I bought it off the street, its surprisingly good quality and is fast becoming a go to shirt in my closet. I tied it in a knot because I wanted to keep the look casual. Glasses because my eyes tend to reject my lenses out after 12 hour long days at the Uni. The spiked necklace is worn so much I'm shocked I don't have previous posts to link it to!

I love wearing simple outfits with a bit of oomph. A jeans and t-shirt combo can be lifted to newer heights by simply adding an element of interest such as a pretty necklace, or belt or statement bag. In my opinion, you don't need to do a complete overhaul of your wardrobe to remain fresh each season.

I wore this typical tee and jeans combo to college today, and let me tell you, just adding a statement necklace meant that my outfit was the talk of the town (erm...okay, maybe just my class). I was even told the necklace made me look like I was wearing some Egyptian lady! Lol!!

I tend to live in jeans when I'm at Uni. Somehow, those everyday looks don't really end up on my blog. I mean, do you really wanna see me in jeans day after day? Today however, I decided I would share a typical look of mine in one of my favorite tops that has been in my wardrobe for about five years now. And, while I'd love to take credit for a great choice, this one was all mom! She's the one who picked this out for me! Thanks mum!

I'd also like to talk about a little thing that a friend of mine asked me recently.Contrary to what it seems on my blog, No! I don't go around with my hair flying all about the place when I go out. In Uni especially, 9 times out of 10, its up in a messy bun. Since I travel by local trains, I'd probably be bald if I kept it the way I shoot it for the blog. When I take these pictures, I'm home, and when at home I like to keep it open and that's how it ends up on my blog.
