I've again got you outfit pictures from the Bangalore days...........and today, you can see one of the most treasured picks from my holiday shopping bag!!
That day, I was out to catch a movie (Dhobi Ghat - must watch!) with my mom & aunt, followed by a shopping spree in the mall & around the streets. I love, love, love this smart tunic/shirt-dress of mine! It's comfy, easy to move about in, can be worn with a hell lots of co-ordinates (leggings, denims, stockings) & is a perfect shade of blue - neither too bright, nor too pale! And of course, nothing is as versatile as a pair of black tights/stockings.........I think it's a must-have in every wardrobe!
Needless to say...love the tabs on the sleeves & the shoulders........
Also, to add some fun element to the very smart & clean look of the whole outfit, I piled on the silver bangles along with one navy one.......the silver ones added a touch of sparkle to the otherwise matte tone of the outfit.
This bag was bought from Bangalore only, a couple of years back.............& it was a good investment (I feel) as the denim tote never goes out of style........this bag is stylish, spacious, sturdy & strong! Hence, it usually always ends up being my travel hand bag as I can put innumerable amount of stuff in it's multiple pockets & we all know how much we like to stuff our hand baggages when we fly! ;)
And now we come to the best part of the whole outfit...............MY BRAND NEW BOOTS!!!!!!!!! Ok.......so you can see how very excited I am about them still now.......
Actually, just the day before, I had met up with the fun & fashionable fellow blogger Smrithi of Vintage Obsession & we had a great time chatting, gossiping & talking about our favorite blogs & bloggers (but more on our meeting in a later post)........& I was also cribbing to her about my on-going search for a perfect pair of boots & how I was craving to buy a nice pair for the last 6 months! Well...............she took me to this awesome Tibetan Market (very nearby to the cafe we met up at) & voila! I found what I was looking for........& at almost half the price!!! :))
These bluish grey beauties have a wide border of crochet lace on the top with tie-ups & poms poms on one side..........cool.........aren't they???
Well...........I guess I really owe her one! (Smrithi.......are you listening?)
