Clo.Outfit: Galyat Sankli Sonyachi....

Does the song ring a bell? It is a Goan -inspired song from the movie Dil hai ki manta nahin. Today's outfit is inspired by Deepak Tijori's outfit in this song. Check out the video of the song at the bottom of this post. Deepak sports a striped short sleeve shirt and sleeveless vest over a "lungi". This was pretty much the look I was going for; I went with 3/4th sleeve shirt, added a slim belt and boots to the combo. The "lungi" is a scarf I wrapped around my waist. It was easy enough to walk in all day and I absolutely love the uneven hem of the 'skirt'. The socks are slouched knee highs.. with the weather being so unpredictable in NYC, if it gets too cold for bare legs, I can just pull up the knee highs and be warm :)




 What I'm Wearing:
Striped shirt: H&M; 100% organic cotton
Vest: Bought in India, 6 yrs back
Belt: Vegan
Skirt: Scarf wrapped around as a skirt (c/o of mum's travels)
Socks: Knee highs worn as socks ; 65% recycled cotton
Shoes: Vegan ; bought from lulus.com
Bangles: Lac bangles from Hyderabad
Enjoy the song and the video!

Clo.Outfit: A Dress That Was......






A dress that was a skirt. Here is a skirt I bought 4 years back. I loved the print and thought I could rock a mid-length skirt. But, after coming home and trying it on again, I just couldn't make it look good on me! It always looked off, somehow....until, I pulled it up to make a summer dress :)

I gave the dress a bit of structure by adding a belt. I have always been a fan of Obi belts (the Japanophile in me, i.e) and fell in love more so after seeing the metallic Obi belts in Paul & Joe's Spring 2011 collection.  

What I'm wearing:
Dress: Skirt pulled up + a safety pin to tighten the elastic
Belt: Vegan Obi belt from ASOS
Shoes: Vegan Steve Madden from Moo Shoes
Bag: Handmade Jute satchel from a crafts market in Hyderabad
Hat: Hell's Kitchen Flea


The weather was just perfect for a day in the park absorbed in an intriguing sci-fi novel (Asimov's Foundation series!!!) 



On the way back in Grand Central Terminal
