brogues, jacket, OOTD, STRIPES, transitional dressing

Its almost like the weather turned overnight! One minute, I had to keep my fan on, cooler on and open the windows and the next second I needed to wear a thin jacket in the morning to step out!? ( Not to mention the need for a ginormous handbag during this transitional time to hold an umbrella, sunblock, sunglasses, cardigan, jacket what have you) New York you are weird! 😀 Anyway here’s to a few weeks of light layers, cardis and upbeat moods before winter hits and I whine awayyyy! 😀 Enjoy your tuesday 🙂jacket

What’s a blue series without some stripes!? Incomplete. 😉 So here’s a white and blue striped oversized blouse which I should not have paired with a skirt that currently needs a belt to stay at my waist but I did anyway BECAUSE THEY HAVE POCKETS!! ( The struggle is real people) I broke it up with a turq neck piece and tan accessories,a VERY orange lip and of course a vivid background to make up for a bordering-on-blah outfit! Happy wednesday!! 🙂 20150710_17214220150710_17220020150710_172205_resized

O blazer why did I take forever to discover your presence and the fact that you can make even the most lazy of us polished and put together? Why did I think you looked good only on certain body types and let you gather dust in my closet? Now all of a sudden am wearing blazers with EVERYTHING! The last time I acted like this was when I discovered low sugar ketchup and I put it on everything!! 😛 Quick I need to makeup for all the lost time.. here’s an outfit.IMG_4045

Maybe I miss my long hair… * a touch of nostalgia* or maybe I really like the setting.. maybe it’s just the fact that the long weekend is round the corner and am ready for it, either way I wanted to post this!  😛 I really liked this look I put together while on a mini vacation.. Just a basic stripe tee paired with shorts and a chunky neck piece to add some interest. …which reminds me.. I need to pick my outfits for this weekend 😀 Happy wednesday! IMG_2137IMG_2006 IMG_2007

stripesI have always been the skinny stripe kind of girl! Large bold across-your-chest stripes intimidate me to no end! I usually dismiss their existence with the wave of my arm when I go shopping! But it looks like I have turned, thanks to some samples from a collection at work which I tried on 😀 And now I have been wearing bold statement stripes over the last week without even meaning to! I really don’t know what I was worried about all along! 😉 Which makes me want to ask you’ll – WHO WORE IT BETTER? 😛

Beach, Nautical, OOTD, STRIPES, Summer dress

dressNo dress list is complete without a striped one! I remember the time I used to shy away from wearing stripes of any kind.. but in hindsight that was just plain silly! To have an easy knit dress(that screams nautical) that is perfect for your summery days and can still look great transitioning into fall is a no brainer don’t you think?:)

Falling for Fuchsia!

Body con, Fuchsia, horizontal stripes, OOTD, skirt, STRIPES, style

fuschiaAttention Attention! This outfit needs special mention. Why you ask?

1. I am wearing a BODY con skirt for the first time that hugs my body like second skin< cue to applaud my bravery> 🙂

2. If the tightness weren’t enough it has horizontal stripes running cross my hip< Now I deserve a medal>

3. To top it off I am wearing a contrast bright fuchsia blouse “tucked” in 😛

While it was fun to step outside my comfort zone and try something that would befit someone who gets a little more exercise, it was no fun trying to keep my stomach sucked in for most part of the day.. But still better than hobbling around in 6″ inch heels while my feet cry in pain 😉 Just Saying 😀 Have a wonderful weekend!

 

What if your body hates horizontal stripes but you love ’em? :D

Okaaay my titles are on a trip lately but that’s beside the point now:) You know that feeling when you pick out a piece with horizontal stripes that looks simply divine on the  hanger, on the mannequin and even your catty co-worker but when you try it on, you just want to kick the mirror in frustration? No? I hate you then 😛 The rest of you nodding in affirmation can feel my pain.stripes I have religiously stayed away from wide bold stripes that run across my body no matter how appealing they look! But I decided to step out of my comfort zone to try and wear stark stripes when they came in the form of this super soft drapey cardigan. The pattern actually looks diagonal(read: flattering) when you wear them, which can be a win-win for stripe wary folks. Who’s with me on this? 🙂

PS: Thou shalt not be fooled by me pretending to casually pose like it were a pleasant fall day. I only gave my coat a breather for about 20 secs 🙂 Oh and HAPPY WEEKEND 😀

Preppy all the way :)

The CFDA awards have been given out, several talented people have gotten their due and several others stand in line waiting for their turn. One of the awards of the night – The Lifetime achievement award was given to Tommy Hilfiger. As a former intern of the company and a designer with some experience in designing preppy gear, I take it upon myself to pay tribute to him through this post. Scroll down to OD on prep 🙂

I decided to do a memorial day special post – A tribute to the spirit of Americana! :)The uncanny stripes and stars have long found their way into fashion- so now you can wear your love for the country on your sleeve – literally! 😉 Jokes apart, I have immense respect for those working in the armed forces and a silent prayer for those who have lost their lives fighting for us. Before I choke with emotion, here’s hoping everyone’s making their best of the long weekend 😀
