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: 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
