This has been an extremely busy week for me. I've spent almost all my free time studying, working and furiously calculating how much I can sleep while travelling to Uni. Eeep! The next week is showing no signs of respite and since I have Mid Terms next week, I really don't think I'll be any better this week. So here's my problem with Uni. I seem to be out all day, but ask me about my social life. Well...erm..I don't really have any. It's quite frustrating, mainly coz I can never seem to dress for a party. Yes, I'm a bit shallow like that! ;)










So I wore this fairly normal outfit to work last week. Its nothing very extraordinary, but this top is one of my favorites, and I just realised it hasn't featured on the blog till date. So I decided it definitely needed a little love over here. I paired it with my Globus trousers that have been such an investment. They aren't in the stores anymore, but I highly recommend getting one of these tailored, cropped trousers if you haven't got one already. Simple accessories (do I ever leave home without them?!) complete the look. All in all, just another day in the life of a working Uni Girl.

Its raining here! Raining!! India should NOT have rains in January. Its just unnatural and has put my whole schedule off track. After a frantic morning of searching for my rain gear as well as rain-friendly outfits to substitute my original planned outfit (yes, I plan outfits in advance now, blame it on the new year) I had to turn my wardrobe upside down. Let me tell you, the ever present cool winds blowing through my bedroom window did not help! (because for some weird reason its winter and monsoon at the same time today). Wanna know how I managed to create an outfit that was both warm enough and still quick drying? I'm going to let the pictures do all the talking!








I'm so happy I managed to find my mom's jumper today. I actually had another combination planned (with lots of layers) but this jumper is so warm+cozy yet quick drying (I've worn this within an hour of washing in the past) that I just knew it was perfect for the ping-pong weather. These trousers are just the right amount of cheat I needed to look like I made an effort to get dressed (nobody needs to know about the waist high pile of clothes at home right!). Add my trusty ballet flats, a bright lippy and I'm all set to face the silly weather. (Oh yea, I wanted a hot pink lipstick, but since I was going to Uni, I toned it down, a little).

I love finding new ways to wear old things in my wardrobe. There's something exhilarating about seeing something you always wear, then seeing it in a whole different light. Its almost like getting a new outfit without shopping! Score! Today's outfit is exactly that. Old wardrobe basic, worn in a classic way using a little imagination.







This dress! Are you wondering why you don't know about it? Well, its my mum's skirt. Its black, midi length, and pleated. This could very well be one of my dream skirts. However, thanks to my recent weight loss, it just didn't fit right and so I decided, hey, no reason to get sad, lets turn it into a dress. One belt and a little pleat adjustment later, Hello LBD!!

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. 

Blue is a state of mind these days. The academic pressure is getting to me and frankly, I eat, breathe sleep in a state of constant chaos. My dreams (if I could remember them) are interspersed with assignments, graphs and reference books. However, I was determined to wear one of my favorite colors (remember my minor obsession with it) in a way that didn't show how 'blue' I really was.

Its day two! Its a Sunday! And the color for the day is Orange. Now I had to think hard over what to wear since I don't have much orange in my closet. I spent a good fifteen minutes before I recalled buying this on one of my impulsive shopping trips with my best friend about five years ago!! Yep, its ancient, I haven't thought of it for ages now, and it took me quite some time to dig it out of the back of my closet. Perfect for my day at the beach with the folks!
