Look Book: Printed Shirt + Colored Denim

Yes, colored jeans is my new uniform it seems. My denim outfits with colors like coral, hot pink, mint, red and now purple make me sort of colored denim enthusiast! It is a fun trend and so versatile that I can wear it all year round with appropriate accessories and shoes. This one is from Liverpool Jeans Company that fits like a second skin. I have couple more skinny jeans in this brand and so far totally loving it - even after several washes, the stretch and shape remains perfect and the colors remain deep too. The shirt is from Choies a brand I recently discovered, and really liked their collection. This satin finish shirt has a very beautiful scarf-like pattern in the back and the grid print like pattern in the front. The glossy cream color is perfect to pair with jewel toned bottoms.

Baby got back!

Where Does The Time Go?

Really where does it go? I mean I always find myself looking for the 25th hour to finish up one last chore!  Amid Mili's classes, homework, play dates, household chores, my fitness routine and blog - I usually find myself running (not the good kinda running y'all where you tone the legs - but running where I forgot the library card in my other wallet, or miss the 4:12 subway because the metro card was out of money!) The Monday starts with early morning school bus and Friday ends with the weekend looking expectantly at me for the things we have planned pushed back for Saturday! 

And while I am barely finishing up things-to-do, there are Pinterest boards reminding me how other women have a beautiful clean house, perfect menus for entertaining and amazing craft projects they'd be doing with their kids while I refill my metro card! I guess I need to work on my time management (I see another post coming about that!) Or may be I just need to accept the fact that sometimes we need to just let things go a little. So my mantra for this weekend is - a happy house is a messy house, perfect menu is what is sticking on your refrigerator door and the craft activity this Sunday is just snuggling-with-hubs&kiddo-till-the-sun-comes-up -really-high!! As we prepare of another busy weekend at our home, I made up a resolution of letting some things go and just not worry about achieving  perfection! As they say - keep calm and enjoy the weekend:-)

Shirt - Tilly's

Shorts - Topshop

Shoes - Target (Spring uniform shoes!)

Hat - Charlotte Russe (Such a steal!)

Glasses - Asos (clear or shaded)

Watch- Fossil via Piperlime

Bag- Kate Spade

Style Trend: Chevron Stripes

This shirt is just $13. Go ahead, envy.

That's what happens when I go shopping not really looking for a particular piece of clothing! I find great bargains and deals. But when I really need something specific, (specially if I don't have much time and need something right now) somehow retail Gods conspire against me and I find that the item I want is NOWHERE on sale, most likely not available in my size! LOL! Does that happen to you too, or it is just my weird shopping curse??  

The original shirt doesn't have the front bow - I added one with a silk sash (belt from another dress), you can even use it as a belt  for a peplum effect as this shirt is nicely cinched at the back and flares up at the hip when belted! 

I got this shirt at TJ Maxx for just $12.99, go check your local store if they have it, otherwise a good option could be this Modcloth chevron blouse. The Forever 21 jeans was just $20 last year, (good option is this one - also from Forever 21 for just $22) I feel great that I can wear a F21 jeans (which is always short for me) as the on-trend ankle length style!

On my ears - Red triangle earrings by Romwe (c/o)
On my nails -  Ciaté 'Big yellow Taxi' Paint Pot

How To Wear The Color Chartreuse

Not green, not yellow, not quite neon, almost lime, but not really! The color of the wet leaves that just barely sprouted the day before, the color of the green apple just before it is ready to be picked, the color sophisticated and playful at he same time! Chartreuse is as much fun to say as it is to wear or look at.
