Chiconomical

So today is the last day of college....for this week. I'm totally exhausted, and a walking zombie on my feet. No Halloween make-up needed here. Today I didn't have any strength to hunt for clothes in what is supposed to be my closet. (Its more a jungle, but made of clothes) I simply picked up stuff from the washed linen pile and put it on. You might cringe if your one of those don't leave your house if your not perfectly dressed people, but try living my life. Its becoming harder to juggle both my lives you know.

Anyway, this is what I looked like for the day. For now, I need to figure out how to shop and sleep at the same time.







Have you gotten into the Diwali spirit yet? I haven't. I need to now cram all the last minute shopping and housework into one day. But the festival is not the time to crib. I should really leave that for another post.

Have you been sweating like crazy lately?! I sure have! October heat has arrived! Okay, its more like almost gone, but this past week is when I've really started feeling October. Bringing in heat from all directions, Uni, Home and the very literal sense, its making me wish for cooler 'Autumn/Winter' or what passes as winter in Mumbai.










This outfit is a marriage of practicality and wishful thinking. I wore my fabulous Globus leather skirt (this is so cool, wish they'd bring back more stock) with a simply casual cotton tee. I added a little belt for a more structured look. (Yep, I've lost a little weight which means the skirt almost slips down without a belt!)

What are you wearing to combat the October heat? Are you from cooler climes? What are you wearing there? Talk to me in the comments below. You can also find me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. 

Is there something called color addiction anonymous? Coz I feel I need color rehab! I've been wearing a lot of Blue lately (like you didn't notice!) and seriously need to start focusing on other colors. Somehow, I seem to be wearing exactly what my mood seems to be these days. Today's outfit was just another blue day. (A few other 'blue' outfits can be seen here, here and here)

In case you don't read my blog (why not?) you know that I've been having shoe problems lately (read the post here) and so this whole outfit was mainly based on comfort. The fact that I rather liked it in the end is an added bonus! The leggings I'm wearing are true blue vintage! They used to be my mum's and have been in her closet for a good 26 years now! Still, pretty brilliant no?

Flowers on my clothes always seem to remind me of flowy curtains or motherly bedsheets. I've never been a big fan of them on my clothes. The fact that I even bought a pair of shorts that had flowers on them is surprising to me. Frankly, I couldn't resist how soft and comfy they looked and since I was stocking up for summer in the midst of a surprising cold spell, I guess it was a case of wishful thinking.

Boy am I glad I bought these! They've filled a major void in my wardrobe. They're printed, a decent length, comfy, fitted, oh, and they're from Asos. I wear them all the time when I'm home and they've been through the washer a few times already, without any damage to the print. Definite plus for me!

If you follow me on twitter, you know that I was recently in Vile Parle (its a suburb in Mumbai, India) and was plesantly surprised at the street shopping there. Well, I couldn't resist going back to pick up a few cool blouses I spied there. I desperately wanted a striped shirt but they didn't have it in my size! (why am I sooo skinny!!) I've told the guy at the stall to get one in my size if he can! Fingers crossed!

Here are a few pictures of my loot! Oh, and did I mention, all the blouses were in the 250-300 range! Yay!!
