Hellooooooo all you lovely people out there!!! Hope you all are having a good week...........am having a really really busy one......what with so much work, meeting up with cousins who had come down for Diwali & are once again making their way back to wherever they are located for work, shopping for sister's b'day & party for same at home, so on & so forth..........
By the way, the travel bug has bitten me big time..........and every other moment I feel like running away from all this & roam around the whole world...........care-free & happy!!! Oh! What would I not do to fulfill my indomitable want of watching the Tower Bridge over the Thames from a pod in the London Eye, remembering the ancient fights & games while roaming in the corridors of the Colosseum in Rome, shopping to my heart's (or rather my shopaholic soul's) content from the boutiques in Paris & Milan, trying to decipher the fascinating hieroglyphics on the walls of the Great Pyramids in Egypt, watching the fireworks over Sydney Opera House, basking in the glorious sun on the beaches of California............sigh......I could just go on & on & on...................But, alas, that is not to happen! Neither do I have the time to live my fantasies.........nor do I have the money....... :(
But, no worries.......I plan to do all of it one day........maybe bit by bit.........but I'll enjoy & cherish every bit when I do so!!! :))
Anyways, for now, my only travel schedule is from home to office in the morning & back home in the evening.......& I try to enjoy that only as much as I can....& the best way I enjoy my everyday rigmarole of balancing family & work is by dressing up!!! Planning my outfit for each day - clothes, accessories, shoes, hair, make-up - gives a me high which nothing else can! (Yes!! Not even alcohol or drugs, though I haven't tried the latter!!!)

Every once in a while I feel like tweaking the "formal" dress code at my workplace & come up with something not quite in the "formal" category but technically in the "smart casuals" category which is also officially allowed! ;)
I decided to break the monotony of office wear today by wearing these cropped trousers to work. They are super-comfortable & I just love the fit..........stylish & chic!
My grey military-inspired top was the reason for posing in front of the bikes (military.....dudes....bikes........get the drift?).........actually I wanted to pose on one.......but then couldn't quite take the risk for fear of the owner catching me in the action & giving me a piece of his mind!!!
Top: Bandra, Mumbai
Cropped Trousers: Wills Lifestyle, Kolkata
I simply love the brass buttons & detailing of the top...also I find the sleeves quite smart...
Even though it's almost mid-November & technically winter should be setting in, we are still having hot days & even hotter nights! Also, the sun shines down with much enthusiasm throughout the day, which makes my shades my most-favored accessory right now........
Shades: Polo Club, Kolkata
I wore my brass colored hoops to match the brass buttons on the top.
Earrings: Vardaan Market, Kolkata
Watch: Fastrack, gifted by friend
I wanted to add a feminine touch to the whole military/corporate feel of the look.......hence the flats. The thing that made me pick up this pair are the striped straps......they came in other combinations too, but I thought these black & white combo is gonna be a sure winner......& I was not wrong......was I???
Flats: Indra Market, Bangkok
Last, but not the least, a very big thanks to my boss Soma Bhattacharya for bearing my whims & fancies & being such a great & willing photographer!!! :))
Hope you guys have a great weekend..........& keep the love coming!!
Hugs,
