Snow, snow, go away.....

Just when the days were getting brighter and sunnier, it had to snow again!
Just when I thought I could shed off those black tights, it had to snow again!
Just when I could hear spring knocking at my door, it had to snow again!
Just when I thought it won't snow again, it had to snow again!

I  took off my jacket once and I'm telling you, the feeling was not good! You can actually spot the goose bumps in the close-up!

How strange! a few days back it was 'let it snow' and now its already 'snow, snow, go away'!!


But, nevertheless, " No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn."- Hal Borland. Huh, so relieving to know that!

Lady in leather....

Soft floral print toughened with some leather...

The moment I set my eyes upon this dress, I knew I absolutely have to have it. The romantic touch and the vintage vibe of the dress appealed to me. But again, to balance off the extra sweetness of the soft floral print and the lady-like dress, I wore it with a leather jacket and a pair of booties.

                                                                  What I Am Wearing:
                         dress- Maurices    faux leather jacket- Aeropostale    boots- Kenneth Cole Unlisted
                         purse- Tommy Hilfiger    watch- Guess    bracelets and ring- Rue21, Charlotte Russe

Work it out...

Hi everyone, hope you are having a great weekend so far!

This is  just another work appropriate look.
You must be wondering,' a work look in the weekend?' Well, lets just say I'm saving the fun post for Monday to fight all those Monday morning blues!!
I was never too fond of green before, but I think it is growing on me now! I am actually trying to add more value to this dress by wearing it as a skirt.
This bag is very special to me as it was a surprise gift from my hubby. Special, because he is not at all good in planning surprises( he invariably ends up spilling  the beans) but he tries hard. I love surprises(pleasant ones only!), I mean, who doesn't?? It is not so much the quantitative or the  material aspect but the very thought and the gesture that touches me and makes me feel special.

I still remember the grand  welcome party that was organized by my dear friends here in Cedar Rapids. It was a perfectly planned and executed surprise party about which I had no clue before and I was literally flabbergasted and awe-struck!
Again, there was another surprise birthday party for me organized by my sweet bro and his even more sweet wify!That was my last birthday party as a bachelor!
Other than these two elaborate surprise parties,there were numerous other occasions when I was surprised by my friends and family. I can't thank my friends and family, my near and dear ones enough for making me feel so special in every little or big way! Thanks for being there, always!!

Tell me about your most memorable surprises.

                                                                      What I Am Wearing:
                  Trench coat- Nautica     dress (worn as skirt)- New York & Co    sweater- LOFT   bag- Calvin Klein
                  heels- Nine West    watch- DKNY    tights, cami  and belt- F21    bracelet- American Eagle Outfitters
             

                  Thanking you                                                                           Yours fashionably

P.S:  Hmmm, I thought it was just another post about work attire! No wonder, it is a weekend and I have all the time in my hand to type whatever is coming to my mind!

I just played with the 'plaid'....

One plaid, two looks...

Look 1- Casual :
This is a fun, casual look. I never thought just a plaid and a pair of jeans can appeal to me so much until I put it on! Just a few whacky accessories, a pop of color and some girly flats and I'm ready to run some errands.

                                                               What I Am Wearing:
                plaid shirt- Hollister    denim- Abercrombie & Fitch    belt- Ed Hardy ( borrowed from my hubby)
                      bag- Nine West    flats- Old Navy    watch- DKNY    bracelet- AEO   neck pieces- Aeropostale
                                                       


Look 2- Classic:
Add a pencil skirt to a casual plaid and pile on some gold/silver jewelry and a pair of pumps and you get a more work-appropriate look.
 

                                                                   What I Am Wearing:
                            plaid shirt- Hollister    skirt- Forever21    clutch- T J Maxx    broad bracelet and tights- F21
                            watch- DKNY    charm bracelet- Charlotte Russe    flats- Kenneth Cole   shades- Steve Madden

     
                                             Tell me, which look do you like the most??  

                      Thanking you                                                                         Yours fashionably
