Not Thrown Out

We all think of doing some wardrobe cleaning every weekend. And then we procrastinate. And then the next weekend, we procrastinate again. But when we do take the plunge one fine day, we see a huge pile of things lying before us. Some of them, we had almost forgotten, other we no longer need.

Growing up, I used to wait for my elder cousins to clean their wardrobes because that meant I was going to get something. At times I was even ready with a script to talk them into believing that they no longer need a certain blouse or are better off not wearing a certain colour. If any of my cousins is reading this, yes, what I said was a whole bunch of bullshit and none of it was even remotely true :)

I admit I was not that lucky most of the times. But when I did get lucky, the joy was there for everyone to see. It was as if I hit a jackpot or something, as if I got something pretty just because I could talk endlessly, because if I laid my eyes on something I got all Woody Allenish till I got it. Once I got it, I was calm.

The sequined top that I am wearing here, it has a similar story. A friend of friend gave it to my friend during her wardrobe cleaning. And then my friend was almost going to throw it out! But I came just at the right time, and rescued this sequined beauty. Today's it is one of my most treasured possessions.

Boyfriend's

I read an article recently that said that dressing up like a slob is the new in thing and that you do not need to spend so many hours getting dressed up. Just mix and match some over-sized clothes with some fitted ones and you are fashionable to go!

Boyfriend jeans is the latest or maybe not that latest slob trend that has almost gone mainstream. The popularity of the trend has led to many brands offering the slouchy pairs in their latest collections.

But some think that the over-sized, the unflattering, the equivalent of a sack is not here to stay. Their argument starts from men not approving of the trend to the lack of sophistication.

I don't want to look at it from a feminist angle. But I have to say something. Boyfriend jeans are so comfortable! And they look chic. And they are perfect for the unkempt and not so prim and proper ones like myself. 

So how do you like your boyfriend jeans?

Your Leather jacket

There is something about a black leather jacket. Ever since childhood, all those handsome actors on TV and in movies, all those pretty actresses too, at some point, they have wowed us in leather jackets. I am thinking of Dean and Sam from Supernatural at the moment. And of Charlize Theron.

A well designed leather jacket means effortless style. You throw it over a regular denim and tee, all you need is a good pair of shoes and you are all set to make a statement. Love the way lovely Katerina wears a leather jacket here. With dresses, leather jackets add an element of confidence and up the chic factor. 

Would you wear a jacket over a dress? What is your favourite way of donning your leather jacket? Tell me in the comment section. Hope you enjoyed reading the post and hope you have liked my Facebook page.
