Prelude to Pastels...

Easter to me is all about getting decked up in pastels, having a splendid Easter brunch and watching kids enjoying Easter egg hunt.
The beautifully decorated Easter eggs in an array of soft, soothing shades of mint, buttercup, peach, powder blue and lavender definitely rekindles my love for pastels.
Here comes the season of fresh, soft pastels and this outfit is a prelude to pastels.

This dusty pink, vintage, tweed skirt is the perfect piece for transitioning from winter to spring.
It provides just the right amount of warmth for the spring chill and the color is just what your heart desires to wear in spring!

Remembering that very day, with a heavy heart, on this Good Friday (I wonder why do we call it a Good Friday when nothing 'good' happened on that very day!) and wishing a happy Easter to all those who celebrate.

Floral Fun...

I love floral print but not exactly a fan of such big prints as on this top.
Nevertheless, the mix of blue, green and yellow looked so pretty that it ultimately came home with me.
I'm glad it did, as I'm having so much fun in floral!

Spring Ahoy!

It is the very first day of spring today, but I really can't feel it with the mercury dipping down to 16 degree Fahrenheit/ -9 degree celsius!
I mean where is the spring we all love??
Where is the greenery, birds chirping, flowers blooming and the sun shining bright and happy?
Its been a long, cold winter this year and I really cannot wait for spring to actually make its presence felt!
Ahoy, spring!

Green, it is!

The only way I celebrate St. Patrick's Day is by wearing green, and that's exactly what I did yesterday.
Even though not quite the Shamrock shade of green, but nevertheless, green it is!
The color crazy girl (that's me!) was not satisfied with just green and ended up adding a couple pops of yellow and blue to it.

No, I'm not Irish, but I certainly wish I had the luck of the Irish!!

It was a bright sunny day yesterday, I was feeling great in green and went out shopping with the husband but unfortunately returned almost empty handed.
Turned out, no matter how Irish I try to be by wearing green on St. Patrick's Day, I would never posses the luck of the Irish!

Tell me, did you wear green yesterday?
How did you celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

One piece, More than one ways...

The printed, full skirt:

I believe, mixing and matching your separates is the key to having a versatile closet.
Its amazing to see how one piece can be styled and worn in many different ways.
Mixing and matching a piece not only makes it look fresh every time, but definitely does add wear value to it.

So I thought of starting a new chain of posts to showcase how I style my pieces in multifarious ways.
Not to forget, this is going to be an excellent stopgap whenever there is a dearth of outfit posts (and needless to mention, today is one such day!)

The vey first star of the 'One piece, More than one ways', is the printed, full skirt.

Tell me, how do you like this new section of posts showcasing how to wear one piece in more than one ways?

Monday Marigold...

I can't stop admiring how good marigold and plum look together, so much so that I think they should get married sometime soon!
Well, in case you are wondering, marigold is very similar to mustard, just a brighter and a more vibrant hue.
I don't really know if my bag and the print on the skirt is marigold or mustard, but I'm just happy calling it marigold as I like the name better.

It poured incessantly the entire week end and of course I could not shoot. Instead, we decided to spend time watching something which is already shot, in an enclosed area, well protected from the extreme weather!
Yes, we spent the weekend watching The Academy 2013's a couple most talked about movies- Zero Dark Thirty and Life of Pi. Two incredible movies- one about violence and the other about learning to tame violence.
Lucky me, I had these pictures from the work week to fall back on.

Tell me, how was your week end?

Any port in a storm...

These photographs are certainly not of the greatest quality and initially I thought I would not even publish these.
But my friends, this is a typical case of choosing any port in a storm.
I do not have better or other outfit photographs ready and am left with no other option that to publish these.
Something is better than nothing, what say?
I mean, half a loaf is always better than none!
Wow, this seems to be an Idiom day to me!!

Have a great week end, everyone, and talking of storms, my friends in the east coast, please stay safe and warm!

Bold and beautiful...

The one thing that instantly makes me feel bold, tough and confidant, is a black leather jacket!
No matter how girly or beautiful a dress or skirt is, the moment I put on a leather (or faux leather) jacket on it, it makes me feel so infinitely bold!
Leather (in my case, it is always faux leather) gives me that edge, that attitude, that strength that nothing else can provide.
Today I'm feeling it all the more, with this very trendy bold striped skirt and my man's fedora. Duh, did you not notice it is at least two sizes big on me?
But honestly, who says you need man clothes to feel and look manly??

Tell me, what is that one piece or item of clothing/accessory that makes you feel bold?

Today I'm linking up with  The Pleated Poppy  for her What I Wore Wednesday.

                                              faux leather jacket- H&M (check it out)     skirt & bracelets- Forever 21   boots and bag- Guess

True blue...

Clearly, I'm in a true blue state of mind today infusing just a splash of neon just to break it up a little.

Some days back, a dear friend told me that my favorite color must be blue as she spots blue in almost all of my outfits.
Well, honestly, it is NOT, but, coming to think of it, blue indeed makes its presence felt in most of the looks that I put together. It is so probably because blue is one of the easiest and the most basic colors in the color palette, other than black and white of course, to incorporate in any look. While some shades of blue are even considered as neutral like navy, you can make a statement with others like cobalt and electric blue and can never go wrong with shades like teal, azure and sapphire!
In fact, there is a shade of blue for every taste and mood out there.
BLUE is, undoubtedly, one of the most versatile and also the most commonly used colors of the entire color palette.
