Barcoded

Do you put away your summer clothes in winter? I don't. This way I have more items to play with and mix and match. I use light summery clothes to layer and to add print to my outfit (most of my summer clothes are printed). Here, I winterized my cotton jumpsuit by adding a bulky sweater and tights. 

These geeky tights were love at first sight!  I ripped four of my tights this winter and I was looking to replace them with some graphic tights. These have become a conversation starter as I've had many people ask me if I've scanned the barcode (and some even whipped their phone out to try and scan it!). Love 'em!

The bulky vintage nordic sweater replaced two 4-year old GAP sweaters. The GAP sweaters just got so visibly bobbly! Not cool. 

What I'm Wearing:

Sweater: 100% acrylic; Vintage from ShopIndie

Jumpsuit: 100% cotton; Bought in India

White tights: Handprinted silkscreened tights made in NY from NylonJournal

Over the knee socks (worn short): 80% bamboo from SockDreams

Sandals: Vegan and ethical from Cri de Coeur

Clo.Outfit: And We're Back!

November has been a month of events! Big, happy, sad and crazy events! We moved into a new apartment, we celebrated our 2nd anniversary, said farewell to a good friend, partied out like there was no tomorrow and now excitedly step into the last month of the year.

Here is an outfit I wore on our 2nd anniversary... Last year, for our first anniversary, I wore a dress and this year I wanted to try on something different. I wanted to incorporated reds/pinks into the outfit and dug up this old silk shirt. I always keep a bunch of satin ribbons on hand. These are like instant belts, bracelets, hair ties etc. The boots I'm wearing are one of my Fall favorites. I love the color, the contrast tan piping and the shearling lining. We went to this really awesome vegan/vegetarian place called Dirt Candy and LOVED it! I will be doing a post on it for "foo" soon, so stay tuned!

About the back drop: It was raining cats and dogs outside so we decided to take the photos inside the lobby of our new apartment. More on the apartment and my DIYs coming soon too!!!

What I'm wearing:

Blouse: Allen Solly; Silk; Bought in Hyderabad 7 years back

Belt: Red satin ribbon tied as a belt

High Waisted Shorts: H&M

Tights: Uniqlo

Boots: Endless.com; Vegan

Lipstick: Bite Beauty; Natural. I blogged about this lipstick before here

The shoes got a little wet from walking in the rain

Clo.Outfit: Color, Prints and a New Accessory

You must have noticed that I have been missing in action this past week. That is because I have acquired a new accessory - Yes, the one you see in the pic below. It is a cool ninja accessory with secret blades hidden it with which I can rid the world of its scum.......or... something like that.... ummm (right, keep dreaming, P). Anyhooo, as you guessed, It is a wrist brace. So after bearing with the pain in my wrist and right hand for a week and a half, I went to the doc. He confirmed what I feared I already knew I had. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Ughhh. I have to wear a wrist brace now every time I'm working on the system and the doc asked me to stop using the mouse and get a track pad.

Later, sulkily I told K that I do have CTS and felt like my body was giving away, one part at a time... K, (with that smirk on his face) says... ummm well, you are getting old. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhh! You can imagine what happened next...

Coming back to the outfit, I had to run a couple of errands around the house and I had decided I wanted to wear my argyle print tights, so I planned the entire outfit around them; I'm amazed by the n number of things you can do with scarves! I'm wearing two scarves today. One around my neck, can you guess where the second one is?? right, the skirt! the zebra print skirt is actually a scarf wrapped and tied around my waist :) 

What I'm wearing:

Shades: MODO for Jennifer Creel

Scarf: c/o mum's travels

Jacket: North Face Polar Fleece jacket (Poly-based fleece)

Shirt: Gap 

Skirt: Scarf worn as a wrap skirt; c/o mum's travels

Tights: Uniqlo

Bag: Vegan from Lulu

Shoes: Vegan from Modcloth
