I'm not a sequins wearing girl. Give me something with lots of sequins on it and I'll probably bypass it completely. However, give me things with pockets and I will probably be extra nice the whole day. So when I stumbled across these cargo pants while cleaning my closet, I decided to do something different from my usual dressing style. Pairing a shiny top with boyish cargo pants might sound slightly crazy, but I think it works in this case.







I like the fact that there's a start contrast between the 'party' like top and the no nonsense trousers. I remember my dad getting these for me from one of his trips and I was extremely excited about them. Although these were way to big for me at the time, I still wore them with a big belt looped through to ensure that these didn't fall! Lol! While they don't fall off anymore, I still think about those times from way back when. Usually, I never go for oversized with oversized, but in this case, it definitely works! The simple handmade necklace just ties the whole outfit together for me.

The current sports luxe trend that seems to have taken the fashion world by storm was always a favorite of mine. Only, back when I used to wear things like that, people took me for sloppy and silly instead of fashionable. Now though, thanks to all those wonderful people in fashion, I can wear my 'sporty' clothes and still get away with it, all in the name of 'fashion'.








These trousers have been a bone of content for most of my friends who think I should wear them as PJs. But come on, how can you resist wearing these gorgeous prints outside. The one time I wore these to Uni, I got lots of 'did you not get dressed today' comments, but I couldn't care less. When you feel like you're still in bed, who cares right?! This top was a random walk buy and I haven't worn it a lot except when I feel like I'm dying in the Mumbai heat. The strapless top makes me a little hesitant to wear it to Uni and since the 'coat' weather has already gone, I don't see it going to Uni a lot. Oh well, its still great for friend days.

Every girl needs an outfit that can take her to from a regular work day to dinner with friends. The other day, I showed you how you can wear a simple slip dress to work with an oversized blazer (Granted, I did wear it to a dinner). Well, this got me thinking, swap the oversized for a structured blazer and you could actually wear it in a more formal setting. I decided to take things out of the office though (eventhough I usually leave the 'party' dressing to others who actually enjoy partying) and see if I could style it for a post-work drinks and food setting. Here's what I came up with...






Excuse the funky hair, I took these after a long day at Uni. I love how gorgeous this dress looks and I think these dresses are the reason why I started the blog. You see, its finding pieces like this one that make me love street shopping. I fell that no matter how many malls crop up in the city, I'll never get over the charm of street shopping.

Remember how I have a tendency to flick things from my Mom. Well, I've only gone and extended this to dad's clothes too! On a recent closet cleaning session, dad found a couple of his old blazers and asked me to put them in storage. How could I miss the chance to play dressup??

I've been seeing a lot of bloggers wearing boyfriend coats and while I don't have a boyfriend or even the need for coats in Mumbai weather, isn't it even more fun to wear vintage clothes!?! I wore this to a dinner (much to the amusement of my folks) and while I got a few odd stares, I loved how cozy it felt! No freezing in the air-conditioned restaurant for me!









I wore a slip dress in silk. I feel that this look can be taken to work and then up-styled for a party at night! The oversized blazer makes you stand out and gives you all the protection from stray winds. This is something I could wear to work and is perfect for those days when you just need to hide the dodgy bits without much work. Gotta love the versatility of slip dresses right?!

It's the Valentine month and its a horrible time to be single. I swear the whole universe has been conspiring to annoy me with mushy displays of romantic bits and bobs. I usually have very materialistic answers to the induced bad moods at times like these (ice-cream tub, new statement necklace and lots of pizza with Doctor Who playing in the background). However, I've been on a stint of near poverty thanks to the fabulously slow government that my country has, and this meant my usual solution to sadness doesn't work this year. Its times like these that my love for fashion comes to my rescue.












I love the simplicity of this outfit. I got lots of compliments for how I looked, from people at Uni. I feel that a crisp white shirt with blue jeans can be taken practically anywhere (well, maybe not to an 80's ballroom dance) and still look perfect. A statement necklace in mint is yet another brilliant thing in my opinion. It goes great with most outfits and adds just the right amount of 'me' to the whole outfit. Overall, something that anybody can try without probably leaving their homes. I mean, we all have a white shirt and blue jeans right? Don't have a statement necklace? Try wearing one of those OTT wedding-y necklaces your mom has in pastel tones with the shirt. I promise heads will turn, in a good way!
