Happy Ashtami to all those celebrating today, I thought this was a good day to show the version of skirt and choli I wore last weekend for an impromptu wander in a little secret garden. Chania cholis are too pretty to save just for Garba and Dandiya so I wear them all year round. Embroidered gaghras with my favourite graphic tees and cholis with shorts, jeans and minis seem to be a staple in my wardrobe. I especially like relaxed boyfriend jeans with vintage backless cholis with sneakers.

How do you wear your staples?

Creature of habit

For all my rants against the world becoming a blur of grey and black in winter, I am not much better. This winter I'd decided to dress creatively while trying to stay warm but from the following photos one can tell that I have failed. Lately my uniform du jour has become a bright jersey skirt, sweater/ shirt, an over-size cardigan or coat and my converse. Hmm going to have to change that.

I tried not to just wear pants and this happened, I think I am more of a creature of habit than I'd like to admit. To be honest I've had my decent moments of wearing bright yellow leggings etc to work but ofcourse I haven't documented the fun outfits. Time to up the ante blog photos wise.

Hope everyone is having a great week. Thank you so much for your comments on my last post. I think I am going to include more travel posts on this blog from now on. Happy Thursday all!

Its always the season for block printed vintage cotton skirts

Skirt, Scarf, Jewellery: India, Vintage Leather jacket, shoes and bag

Like I said before, with the rainy weather and low temperatures its been hard to dress creatively but one thing that has still remained constant is my love for Vintage block print cotton. This skirt is a summer staple on the beach with a bathing suit top and with boots and socks becomes winter weather friendly. I will never understand why certain colour palettes are meant only for summer and others only for winter. I say baah to the rules, wear what makes me happy and puts a spring in my step.

The other night I received a notification on instagram and discovered that one of my favourite bloggers Ulrikke featured a few of my photos on her blog. Considering I love her ideas and sense of fashion it was great to be complimented by her in this fashion and also its so wonderful to have such a support network of like-minded bloggers to make my world a better place.

I am forever thank-ful to the beautiful, talented and generous ladies I have met through this blogging journey and I look forward to meeting more. For me its never been about garnering a huge number of followers but meeting and fostering bonds with like-minded women who know there is more to life than following tired rules.

Its been a beautiful winter's day today, no rain thankfully and I hope it stay this way so I can spend some time outdoors. Hope everyone's had a wonderful weekend.
