My most versatile dress (& I got the job!)

Dress: George via Wal-mart ($15), Blazer: H&M ($20), Nude Heels: Shoe Warehouse sale ($15)

I know alot of girls swear by their LBD's and I love by black dress too, but this is my by far most worn dress till date. Its so versatile...I have worn it all sorts of ways and still had not worn it with a white blazer. Even though I call this is fall dress bec of the fall colors in here, I think I liked it with a white on top.

Wore this as I started my first day at my new job! and things went well. Here is what I wore for my interview :)

Stripes and Wine (& Interview outfit)

Top: F21 ($7), Blazer: F21 (hand me downs), Skirt: CLEO ($20), Pumps: Steve Madden via Winners ($25), Watch: Fossil (gift)

I wore this to my interview recently, for a position I wanted to go into confidently so I put on my stripes shirt, a classic black blazer with an unexpected berry/wine pencil skirt. I think it always important to make a impression when  going for interviews if you dress up a little, show your personality while still being conservative.

Dressing good and feeling confident not only makes a good impression the moment they see you, it also helps you to answer the questions confidently. This was for a office based industry interview for a professional role in a municipality.

Would you wear this to an interview?

The top looks navy blue, but its purple in real. I paired it against black blazer and my thrifted pants with the light necklace, makes for a fun pop of color.

Top: Thrifted ($4), Blazer: H&M ($20 - old), Necklace: Wal-mart ($3), Pants: Costa Blanca ($10), Watch: Fossil (Gift), Bracelet: from India ($3)

I first went thrifting this weekend and found the top there and then went to wal-mart and found the following goodies and the necklace. The necklace is sooo cute and it was on sale - it was $3 only! Wow, what a steal! :)

Trying out the new Garnier BB cream, Hard Candy Primer and NYC Red Plum Lip Stain after a suggestion from one of the readers. Do you use any of these products?

A Beautiful Thought

You know this morning I read on someone's blog saying that: In a marriage, make sure you compete for compromises. It makes sense but we live in such a self-centred world, that would definitely serve as a great reminder for once we are married. 

Between Ryan and I, when we share our meals with brocolli - none of us eats the last brocolli piece bec even though we both love brocolli, we want the other person to have it bec get IMMENSE satisfaction if the other one has it. Sometimes that creates a scene in a resturant, but we don't care.

I know this isn't a BIG compromise but still......

Back to Neutrals

Striped Tee: F21 ($7), Grey Skinnies: CostaBlanca ($6), Blazer: thrifted ($4), Scarf: F21 ($4)

Now that christmas festivities are over, I felt like being really low-maintenance and dressing in neautrals. As much as colors are wonderful to wear, there is something soothing about wearing just neutrals. This look is totally something easy to put together and head out the door in a rush. Boots, skinny pants and a blazer would do it for those work days. 

My friends engagement party is in 2 days, then it is the new years eve party, and then bridal shower is also coming up soon! I am loving all the wedding goodness!

Also, past due are some of the photos from the bachelorette (some people e-mailed me wanting to see photos - so here they are!) - Enjoy!

me with a dear friend of mine! :)

Getting pimped up!

In a fun-Limo ride with my girls!

Bright Mondays - Part 4!

Bag and Top: H&M, Boots: Steve Madden, Pants: GAP, Jewellery: F21, Coat: URBAN

The shopping ban for November is done. If you want to see how I did, be sure to checkout last month's outfit roundup and let me know how I did.

I wore the above outfit this weekend to get some xmas shopping done. I paired turquoise top with my tan blazer and paired it with some gold jewellery. We are keeping things low-key with xmas shopping this year as everyone is saving up for the wedding in India. Wow, just about 60-70 days till we go and get married in btwn family and friends. 

My bachelorette (SURPIRSE party I should mention) is coming up in 2 weeks too, cant wait to see what girls are cooking. I dont know anything, nada....sometimes you just gotta enjoy life through moments like this, where other loved ones take over and deliver. I am greatful to have such loving people in my life :)

Any ideas on what to wear to MY Bachelorette Party? Never been to one.

Hope you had an awesome weekend. Thank you for stopping by!

 

Bright Mondays!

Today at work we did a quiz on work styles. People were organizers, nurtures, researchers. I am an energizer. Ryan said it doesn't surprise him! this kid knows me well! I feel so high on energy without even any coffee on mornings. We organize events, parties without any troubles, can be life of the party, bring people together towards a common goal, task-oriented etc. etc. (no wonder I have itching to start a linky party here...soon my friends soon..)

I am in love with this tan blazer and the boots, are you sick of them yet? 

Ryan and I met in unversity and we used to study together not in library or at home, but rather in classrooms. We would use the whiteboard to write notes etc, solve problems, play hangman (when taking study breaks).....classrooms are an integral part of our study years....

Oh so much fun being in the classroom again - this time to use it as free advertising for the blog! (R's idea)

I love him!
