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!

You need to be living under a rock to have missed the Tartan trend. Plaid, tartan, checkerboard, whatever you call it, has been an old favorite of mine. By old, I mean since I was about 3 years old. Unlike the British or Scottish countries where Tartan was a part of the schoolgirl uniform, we never had anything like it, so thankfully I've never felt the need to shy away from it (incase I'm assaulted by (un)fashionable school memories).
Being a Tartan lover in India, especially Mumbai is hard. We simply don't have the weather to sport it the way the westerners do (look at me bifurcating between us and 'them'). So here's my take on sporting the tartan trend in a hot and humid city.








I would like to take a little sidebar and discuss my amazing satchel bag. I bought this with my sister on one of our crazy shopping trips and it has been my go-to weekend bag. I'd probably use it on the weekdays aswell if I figured out how to fit my mahoosive Uni stuff in it. Totally worth the spur of the moment shopping decision.

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.
