This occasion calls for a…skirt! Wait..what?

Haha.. Me and my essay-ish titles! Well that’s that and now coming to the topic. Let me tell you guys something. In my country, India, people don’t show leg. No. Not many of them and not often. I don’t know why. That’s mainly why in all my post (well most of them at least) I’m in jeans or tights. But sometimes when you are going to some places you are quite confident you can pull off some leg showing without raising eyebrows and I was headed to one such place today and I thought why not? 😉
So…here I am…feeling skittish in a skirt. Wait now that would have made a better title wouldn’t it have? “Feeling skittish in skirt” Never mind. I’m going to let that be!

I had a really old extremely comfortable cotton dark cocoa brown skirt which I decided to pair with a light brown sheer top. Its a long tunic and hence I decided to tuck it into my skirt to get some shape. 

I’m so excited about being able to incorporate a pop of pink throughout the look with my belt, my cross body bag and my shoes (the ones which featured for the first time in my previous post and was a smashing hit and made me feel like a boss and…never mind, I’ll brag some other time)

However, since my sister just didn’t agree with that pink popping in random places, I also tried another look. Mellowed the whole appearance down. Check it out.

The nude pumps and belt just made the whole outfit look different right?
Guess which look I went for? Wicket!! The first one of course.! Duh who doesn’t want a random color popping in the oddest places throughout their otherwise sane pairing of light and dark brown? 😛 Right?

Anyway, I have saved the best for the last because that’s what I do best. My idea of suspense and all. Guess who recently grumbled about lusting for gold watches? Me! Guess who bought a stunning gold watch at-long-last? Ba-dum-tssss yeah baby I did!!

    • Hahaha you are a cutie aren’t you. Thanks for that squealing (I think I heard it reached india through these wifi waves and cables or whatever.. LOL!)
      Oh you are a watch buff too then? Nice!! I have so many such friends. I buy watches real rare but when I do I simply splurge because I think they are worth spending on since its pretty long term investment right? 😀 yayyy so glad you loved it.. 🙂

        Heck yeah! Watches are great – and I think it’s perfectly acceptable to splurge, as you correctly said, they’re long term investments 🙂

        Yay! Aw, your posts always make me smile. You’ve got such a happy smile! 🙂 I think you’re the type of person with a smile so infectious, that automatically others smile 🙂

      • Did you chuckle when read long term investment for something as silly as watches? *cough cough accountant at work cough cough*
        And thank you for that compliment about my smile ❤ you lifted my spirits :* you are too sweet!
        While some like you can make people roll on the floor/bed laughing and have a bad stitch in their stomach with the gift of writing so well, people like me have to resort to other ways to get people to have fun at my blog 🙂

      • Hehehuhuhaha… If there is one foreign language I’ve learnt that’s Math. Really bad at it BRO. XD And for accounting courses (atleast in India) we are given calculators to compute stuff…*phew* otherwise I couldn’t have done no shit 😛
        Internet big sis. Woohoo.. I should technically be feeling dejected that you can get only so close to a person over the net, but I’m like woohoo because it feels like I already know you so well you cutie! ❤ (Did that extra long sentence make sense?)

      • LOL! Calculators are cool – but that damn Syntax Error….-_-
        I’m sure you’re a maths prodigy 😀

        The long sentence made sense! I know right? There are some people on WP I just want to (after popping them into my big handbag and taking them round London) sit and have a proper chit-chat with 🙂 Being on WP has made me remember that there are really genuinely nice people out there, LIKE YOU! 😀
        #INTERNETBIGSIS! 🙂

  5. Though I don’t show legs in skirts and shorts are my all-time go-to-when-in-doubt, I just wish, I just wish I can carry skirts as well as you do! Aahh.. Pregnancy has its side effects and I am experiencing a surge in jealousy!! I have all my shorts tucked away in a corner of my closet!

    But my dear – You look stunning! ❤
