    I love cheap things! 

    On a nice Sunny Sunday, I went dress shopping with my dear fifi.
    Luckily found this cotton over-sized stripe shirt at H&M for only $6.99,  just for the price of it, I have to get it and make it work!

    So as my dear fifi suggested wear it with a belt, and you can pretty much match with leggings or skinny jeans. I personally like leggings better, because I don’t like too much stuff on my waist (if I am already wearing a belt on the shirt, then the button on my jeans would be too much stuff on my waist.)

    Here are some looks of it. The shirt comes in 3 colors, grey+white stripe (which the one I got), white+pink stripe, white+black stripe.

    By popular demand… 

    Even though I have tons to catch up on, I’m no longer going chronologically since Anita, friend of ET asked for this…and yes, one person is ‘popular demand’ as far as I’m concerned!

    This was for my dear dear friend Andrew’s birthday bash that I helped organise.

    From Style Per Diem

    The jeans: Previously posted dark wash skinny jeans.

    The dress: Black puffed/ruffled sleeve jersey dress from H&M. Trying to resist buying the exact same one in coral orange.

    The shoes: I wanted to buy booties in time for this event but still have not found acceptable ones so I went with the riffle t-stap heels instead. I was wearing black tights as a layer anyway, since it was cold, so the overall impression was somewhar bootie-licious. Yes, I went there.

    Accessories: These were carefully planned, hand made and purchased.

    The silk obi belt is hand made from fabric left over from my sister’s sangeet and details can be found on http://www.sewwot.wordpress.com. I wore a dull gold braided cuff, dull gold/brass chain, tripled, these simple dull gold ear-rings and as can be seen in the picture, a dull gold rose pin in my hair. Make up concentrated on the eyes with a shimmery gold/purple mix of eyeshadow and shimmery eggplant eyeliner. Rosy sheer Dior blush and pinkish nude gloss finished it off. You can kind of see it in this picture, even though I look cross eyed. I put my hair back in a bun and made sure the bangs were poker straight.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the simplicity of this outfit jazzed up with some carefully selected accessories and my very special belt. I look forward to wearing it in the summer without pants or just with stockings.

      you look fabulous! I love* the belt and this whole outfit is very flattering. and you are sooo good with makeup!

      *so these obi belts became a huge trend since a louis vuitton show…and I was asked by Vogue India to incorporate something similar in an illustration I did back then…this reminded me :)

      Thanks Nidhi!!

      I didn’t have a clue about make up till about 2 years ago, till I had to go for a wedding and a friend was kind enough to take me to a Mac store for a taste. Been hooked ever since and I enjoy experimenting with it!

      Also, LOVE your illustrations! I might have to go get a longer blazer just to get that look together with the skirt and obi belt! :D

    Winter where? 

    This year, I REFUSED to bow down to the fashion oppression winter always brings with it. It also helped that we have had an easy and somewhat delayed winter, allowing me to fall in love with, buy and wear way too many sweater dresses…

    This was taken some time in early December…I wish I had a better picture…

    From Style Per Diem

    The jeans: Trusty dark wash skinny jeans. Warmer than tights and provided the right amount of thickness to play off the dress.

    The dress: A lovely little cream knit mini-dress with cap sleeves and a nice tab button detail on the collar in a gun metal colour which then allowed me to layer with a thin dark grey sweater with billowy sleeves. What the dress lacks in print, I think it makes up for in texture and weave, adding visual interest and fun. I think  this dress will also easily transition into spring with a nice pair of tights.

    The shoes: New favourite wedge heeled boots!

    Accessories: I think I just left in the usual silver but I did throw on this gorgeous purple, military inspired, wool coat that I bought for an absolute STEAL at H&M:

    From Style Per Diem

    For the mild weather we were having, it was nice and cozy – lined in a self coloured, striped satin and its a brilliant addition to my coat collection. If you must cover up every lovely outfit with a coat, it might as well be an interesting one, no?

    All in all, this was fun!

      Ooh, you got one of those Michael Jackson things from H&M! I’ve been torn about them. So stylish, but short-lived, I suspect. This looks great!

      Michael Jackson? The jacket? Haha! I didn’t even think of that! I think its a fairly classic style and I’ve always liked the little drummer boy kind of military style. :D

      Yeah, they’ve all been doing MJ-inspired numbers since last summer. Forever has trashier versions of the same stuff.
