OK...that question was for my Burgundy pants!! I am having the 'what should I write' kind of feeling today. Colored pants being a massive hit this Spring/Summer...you know that don't you? Fashion penetration?? As in how this trend traveled from the super-luxe to the high ends to like everywhere. Love for the sheer? Not much sheer to make up for this post. Love for 'Mint'? And how this mint bag was lying ignored in my closet. Or for that matter how these Burgundy pants were lying ignored in my closet for a while now? Should I move on to tell you about the weather? Or maybe had I worn this in my business school I would have been laughed at...OK no one did so but maybe fetched some not.so.pleasing glances. You know the atmosphere at business schools don't you? Flats, vintage earrings, favorite cuff...you see that all!! Well, I guess my feeling was right. I am glad I skipped writing about it in merry sentences :)

Fire In The Jungle

Shorts, without doubt are my absolute summer favorite. Hot-Pants, Cut-Offs, Bermudas, High-Waists or Mid Length...they occupy a supreme position in my wardrobe. This pair has been a strategic pick. (As.Strange.As.It.Might.Sound) I say so because I picked up this pair feeling that it would serve me a dual purpose - that of seeming like a skirt too!! (OK maybe from a distance but whatever!!) Also, I couldn't surpass this bold fact that these are floral...which might help you dig deeper into my Shorts-Skirt-Skirt-Shorts bid. With the rest of the outfit, I decided to keep it mellow and summery because I wished my Matryoshka doll pendent to take on the stage from here. 

I referred to this outfit post as the craziest till date on  Facebook and Twitter. As the story goes, my mom and I were running regular errands when we spotted this beautifully poised Gulmohar tree standing in the very center of a residential locality. My mom told me that this tree is in full bloom once in a year and because of its flamboyancy is called 'Fire In The Jungle'. This made me jump with every possible emotion that makes you do so, and cash on the beauty life of the tree. The next step was to strategically plan a shoot. So, to cut it short I grabbed my phone, pretended to shoot the tree, but managed a good outfit shoot for you. (Iphone 4S my best investment till date :D)

Well..I shall be keeping this post short and crisp. That's because the more I communicate the closer I feel I will be to fall off the EDGE. Edge (read jitters) in terms of posting this outfit. The last I was this nervous anxious was when my High School (Standard 12, Boards) result was to be declared. For all those who wish to say "Ohhhh cmon the outfit looks perfect/good/fine" I'll like to tell you all that when I tried this outfit it looked good. When I wore this outfit it looked good. When I saw people noticing this outfit I was sure it looked good. And when I saw this outfit in pictures, I thought all throughout I looked stumpy. 

My blogger instinct says, "Girl you have a reputation to maintain."  All instincts other than those of keeping up that "status" say, "Make mistakes and get better!!"

P.S If you might as well wonder, I topped my High School!!

Wearing:

 JEANS - LYCRA

DENIM SHIRT - RALPH LAUREN

BELT - ZARA

SANDALS - VINTAGE SHOP (SHIMLA)

BANGLE - ALDO

SCARF - GIFTED

BRACELET - GIFTED

I am stuck at believing that much like me you too chalk out your outfits before-hand. Indeed, I am someone who would decide on the what, when, where and how of an outfit at least two days before the 'scheduled event.' The very same happened with this outfit too. Except that whenever I tried it, I felt that the skirt was a little too huge for me or just wasn’t the right length. Until, the very I.have.nothing.to.wear moment dawned on me and this was the only tried and tested option available.

On finally wearing it, needless to say I fell in love with Mad Men again and was reminded of the 50’s, when full skirts epitomized fashion undergoing a ‘power’ revolution. What I came to love the most about Midi Skirts is that they are friendly enough to be molded into a classic symbol of femininity (Tip: A low hair bun  would perfectly complement this outfit. However, I choose to do my hair in a sleek pony-tail) as well as perfect to transform you into a retro chick.

Teal Trousers

How good/important is it to keep the 'outfit-variety' going on, on the blog? This is something that held me back for one.complete.day as my mind battled to decide that should I post what you would like (in terms of variety) or what I would like. Politically correct - I'll post what I had planned to with the hope that you shall like it too.

 

So if you are following me on Facebook (which by the way you should kindly do) you must be familiar to my raving and love for the so called "TEAL TROUSERS." Trousers were a rage on the Autumn/Winter 2011-2012 fashion runways. Be those from luxury brands like Emilio Pucci (this collection was my personal favorite), Hermes, Jason Wu, Jean Paul Gaultier or high-street brands like ZARA, Mango, Tommy Hilfiger or DKNY you could find them every where. 

The "Teal Trousers" in question were an Autumn buy too. I wore them to the Indian Grand Prix. Sadly, they are a little too late for their debut!!

Wearing:

Teal Trousers - TrimmingsAndLace

Top - ZARA

Statement Necklace - Claire's

Ring - Forever 21

Peep-Toes - Local Store (Chandigarh) 

P.S TrimmingsAndLace is the label for all self-designed and tailored pieces.

Jumping back to the 'variety concerns's I had a feeling that my blog was becoming trousers-full. Thus, a round up of all my trousers posts..See Variety?? (OK two words - Trousers and Variety off my vocab from some days now!!)

There are some outfits that never really scream 'OUTFIT POST'. But when you happen to wear them over and over again somewhere they do become special. That's the case with this outfit too. In my mind I definitely have worn this outfit about 4 times last year. The first time I went the classic way by wearing it with pearls and nude peep-toes since I was wearing it for a formal academic interaction. The second time I skipped the accessories and wore black flats since I was visiting the doctor. 

The third was with gold accessories during of the pre-Diwali fervor. And lastly, I remember adding red to the entire scheme. And this time I go Part-Boho for you. 

1 OUTFIT = 5 WAYS..I am climbing the stylist ladder..What do you think??

Spare me for an overdose of photographs..I couldn't prioritize..or call me LAZY :p
