Prints. Prints haven't really been my thing for a while now. I'm more of a solid color outfit that can be styled a few different ways and can be worn everywhere depending on the pairings. However, recently, I've been drawn to tshirts with quotes, or a cool animal print. That's exactly how I ended up with this gorgeous top. I've been mentally pairing it with everything I own! (Sometimes even when it doesn't go all that well!)

If you've read this blog for some time, you probably know I have an instant fascination with everything that has pockets! This dress is old, bought on a whim while meeting friends and it has been a party favorite ever since. I love the muted work around the neck, but most of all, i LOVE the deep pockets! You can't even see them, but boy do they come in handy when you're dancing and need a place to stash your phone.











I wore this dress to a cousin's birthday party a while back and the compliments I got just made the evening that much sweeter (of course the endless supply of cake was more than welcome). Mind you, these pictures are from a couple of weeks ago, when I had some semblance of a life. Currently, just editing and posting on my blog alongwith Uni work makes me wanna curl up in a ball in cry. Oh well, hopefully May will be here soon, and I'll be able to relax just a little bit. (GOD!! Can you please fast forward time for me!)

Do you like using necklaces as belts? I love it when these necklaces double up as different things. Do you do the same? Tell me in the comments!

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!!

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.

Oh yes! It was a white Monday! I decided I'd go traditional for the day since it is a fairly colorful festival (no, mum had nothing to do with it, honest!). I paired basics that you can find in any Indian girl's wardrobe with a statement piece, aka my fabulous Anushree Reddy scarf! I have to say, I was totally floored by all the compliments I got for this scarf!! You may remember it from my post on Anushree Reddy's collection at Lakme Fashion Week. (If not, you can refresh your memory here).

I added these earrings from yesterday again (thank you so much Martyne!!) since I felt they went well with the whole gold, white and pink theme I had going on. All in all, an outfit that I'm extremely happy with, and one which you can replicate easily with things you already have in your wardrobe!

Today's outfit post is a Throwback to simpler times in my life. If that's not your cup of tea, I guess you could skip reading and go straight to the pictures. (Wait, you don't already do that do you?)

If I could turn back time, I would be listening to a little group called Aqua (does anyone remember them?) and the title is a reference to their song.

If I could turn back time, I'd be swimming with my mom on lazy afternoons, pushing and kicking to win in races with her in the pool.

If I could turn back time, you'd probably still find me in this two piece that I bought in order to look a little different, but never wore for its intended event.

I haven't really grown at all in many ways have I? I still think ice-cream is a perfectly sensible breakfast choice, I'm still very possessive about my books and hoard them like there's no tomorrow, I still swim every free chance I get, I act on impulse and get annoyed at the drop of a hat.... and I still wear the same clothes!!
