Get Comfy : In perfect blue dress


Hi readers,
These pictures were taken months back; I didn’t upload because I didn’t like how they turned out. As I mentioned I am little perfectionist when it comes to pictures, I really hate pictures with bad resolutions. I have OCD over little things so when my friend told me there was nothing wrong with these pictures, so just to get over with my insecurities, I decided to upload.
While I always have grandiose ideas of dressing up, my outfit usually ends up on the casual side. I don’t experiment much with fashion, I wear what I am ease at. That’s why I am never too dressed up or dressed down. 

This whole get up must look like two pieces- tank top and a skirt but in actuality its a tank dress. The string on the waist results in gathered peplum. The fitted skirt is little too long for my liking. I like skirts little short. I don't like knee length dresses or skirts, for me it has to be either shorter or longer than knee length. This Outfit is a great piece to hang out in the city during the day with a pair of flats or it can get vamped up more for a night out when paired with  a set of heels – wear higher than the one  I am wearing if your going out at night and definitely tie your hair back.

 Wearing blue heels with blue dress can be little intimidating but if the mood strike and it is appropriately carried off with SWAG you will definitely look good. 

This is a simple post with no piece to elaborate on, so i don't know what else to say. So, i guess I ll talk something which is totally out of the box. Have you guys heard about John Wayne Gacy and Ted Bundy ? I am really intrigued by criminals and especially drawn to serial killers like the above mentioned names. I have done comprehensive research on them and many other serial killers. I also watch CSI:NY and CSI: Miami religiously. Its really sad and breaks my heart to know that human are capable of worst things you and I could ever imagine. I really appreciate and look up to people who work in crime branch. So this post is to salute all those who died in making this world a better place.
I can't really tell which is the worst crime, first degree murder, manslaughter, rape, human trafficking, child molestations and many others. You know as a kid i thought Sherlock Holmes was real, i think he was my first love. It was hard on me to accept that it was a fictional character written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Just like how Sherlock Holmes triumphs all evils  with his unbeatable intellects, i guess I always thought in the back of mind that, thats how real life was, So all I am saying is there were so many Sherlock Holmes who died saving people and country. Who put others life before theirs, so Let us all extend our gratitude and pray for all those heroes, who died as heroes. Not just in my country, there are/were lots of heroes in this world.

Black-and-white : mini skirt+ studs


Hey there people,
I know it hasn’t even been a week since I last posted. I was bored outta my mind, since I have lots of time at my disposal- its summer vacation baby!! (Say it like ITS VEGAS BABY). You know just few months ago, I wasn’t really keen on having a blog for various reasons. I thought who would read my blog and since fashion blogging has become a much-followed trend I thought I had nothing different to offer on table. From all I didn’t want people to think of me as some insecure b**ch who wanted to compete with others. But a very dear friend of mine convinced me otherwise. Plus it was co-partnered (now they are extinct from bloggerland hahaa)  with my friends out here, we were on vacation that time so it started with an idea. We were like do you wana? Yes! but how? when? where?- we asked ourselves. In the end we decided to go for it.


In the past I always struggled to wear black & white without feeling like a waitress. Not that there’s anything wrong being a waitress, but we don’t want to find ourselves dressed like one either. You don’t want people to confuse you for one if you happen to go to a restaurant, funnily enough in last few years I have learnt how to not look like one and yet wear black & white. Black & white has become a staple in my wardrobe- its such an easy combo. I love pairing Black & white with  pop of colors ofcourse- here yellow shoes,orange tank top and beige wollen scarf being one. I guess thats how i stay non waitress (laugh).
I totally wanted her to wear side bun, i think its an apt hairdo with that thick woollen scarf. You must be wondering about the jacket and wool in summer- actually that week it rained every night and wasn't sunny for days.It gave us an opportunity to showcase how to dress during cold summers. The fluctuation in temperature is crazy;thats the perk of living in coastal area . This Jacket is one of the most expensive cloths i have in my wardrobe,its rich texture and the fact that i got it in size 4 makes me feel it was worth the price. Here its hard to find size 4( US size 0) jackets, so i normally settle for 6. I think it pairs quite well with my white denim skirt and orange tank top.

And other piece that i want to elaborate on is my woollen scarf. Man! there was a time when i was obsessed with woollen scarves and Ponchos. After watching korean dramas for most of my teens, how could i have not obsessed over ponchos. I got a huge collection. I hope there is another one of cold summer, so that i can do a post on Ponchos.
I am loving this studded slip-on. I got lucky with it. It was on sale and got around 50 % discount. In future posts, they will be more of spikes and studs oriented.
                                                     Thank you!! Have a great week.
