Outfit of the Day - Double birthday glitter

The double birthday in the title refers to those of my father and brother. They have birthdays on consecutive days - first my father and then the next day my brother. So we generally have a combined family party on one of the days. This year, the party was on the day of my father's birthday :)

When I bought this sequins top in Spain, hubby had asked me where will you wear something so glittery. I had the same thought, but still bought it since I fell in love with it. And then I realized - a double birthday party is the perfect to place to wear something this glittery - right?

My father loved it, and my brother as usual made fun of it (you know how elder brothers are O_o !!). But anyways, I loved having an occasion to wear this top and having worn it once, I will now wear it even without occasion. Let people stare if they want :-p

Given how shiny the top was, I kept the accesories to a  minimum. Just paired it with a pair of jeans, my silver heels and a white clutch and I was done! :)

So do you like it? Or is it very overwhelming?

Top - bought in Spain

Jeans - Pimkie (bought in Spain)

Sandals - Raw Hide

Clutch - Accesorize

Outfit of the Day - Chinese

I am still not well enough to take outfit pics. But I have these outfit pics which were taken just before I am became ill and which I did not have a chance to put up.

This outfit consists of a red Chinese style dress, paired with gold sandals and long gold earrings. I wore this outfit to catch a movie with hubby :)

The satin material of the dress was quite difficult to photograph as it tends to reflect light a bit too much! But hubby has tried his best :) 

So do you like this OOTD? 

Dress - bought in Malaysia

Shoes - Myntra.com

Earrings - Forever 21

I will be back soon

Hello Everyone!

Its been more than a month since I blogged and I am hating that. The problem is that I have been quite ill and hence unable to even think about blogging. But I am now feeling a bit better and hope to get back to proper blogging from this weekend. I have also missed going through all your blogs and really look forward to doing that this weekend :-)

Since I am still not totally in the pink, you might see me looking tired in the coming outfit posts. Please bear with me on that.

But I will soon be back - and hopefully with a bang! ;-)

Outfit of the Day - Red

Today's outfit is inspired by celebrities. I have seen many celebrities pairing a formal white shirt with different types of skirts. So I decided to pair my long red skirt with a white formal shirt and white platform heels.

After the last outfit post, I am loving the idea of adding a traditional element to my outfits. And so I added a round traditional purse to this outfit. Love the way it blends with the outfit. I also added a black and white choker necklace and my favorite red lipstick to complete the outfit.

So do you like this outfit?

Shirt - local shop in Bandra (Linking Road)

Necklace - road side in Bandra (Elco market)

Skirt - from sis-in-law

Bag - Suriti (Powai)

My source of optimism

All of you who read my previous 2 posts about starting a new life and about my best friend know that I had to rebel against my mom's wish to get me married off to do my MBA. Some of you might have thought that she was harsh. And maybe she was.

But since the time I completed my MBA, my mom has been my rock. Even before I completed my MBA, mom realized that her little girl had grown up and could take her own decisions. And since then she became my guide. She does try to impose her decisions on me sometimes (which mom doesn't!), but she is also happy when I do my own thing :-)

Perfect prom dresses

The first thing that the word 'prom' brings to mind is the perfect dress!

A beautiful dress that makes you look like a princess and makes you the center of attraction - what more does a girl want on the day of the prom ;-) And that's why I would like to share the prom dresses 2015 collection of PromTimes.co.uk. 

Everyone has a different dream dress in mind for the prom. But no matter what your dream is, you should be able to find the perfect prom dress at PromTimes. Whether your dream dress is long or short, elegant or sexy, simple or extravagant, monochromatic or colorful - you will find a dress that fits the description at PromTimes. And the choice of materials is mind blowing - chiffon, silk, tulle, lace - you name it and they have it :-)

On top of this - each dress is available in a range of colors so that you do not have to settle for second best. You can have the dress you want, in the style you love and the color you are dying for!

And they also offer custom made dresses if the normal sizes do not fit you - for very little extra. I wish I had a prom to attend, I would be spoilt for choices at PromTimes. And even with no prom, I am drooling over the dresses - would love to order one for a party :D
