Basic Wardrobe for an Indian girl



Ummm..no I don’t wanna do this , oh I am not doing this…..Wht about my reputation….. what will happen to tough independent girl image……… ummm Lets c… Fashion advice from a girl who will be ready for office in 5 mins… umm yeah… Not much worth it.. But half umm may be two thirds of my sal directly goes to shopping so I guess I can share some of my gyan about my shopping disasters. Basic wardrobe for a girl did u ever google it? I did but unfortunately we Indians did not have much fashion sites, and stylists here think celebrities are only their customers, So I did nt find much about this things..
So I trust my mom suggestions, If you are  working and you have a dress code for four days, and u have culture police aunties at home who supervises ur dressing ,And u r  open to new fashions then this post can be readable.
In india for most girls work place formals are basically chudidars, Of course for me too.. Which are bit boring, But it always gud in experimenting, Mix n match works well most of the times, Have some basics dupattas black ,white ,Red .. These are must haves so don’t go for cheap try End of season Sales, I prefer central sales ,Westside kurthas are great,But dont pick them without trails, their sizes are diff from other brands. You won’t get much discounts even in sale, So pick when the trend hottest, You can mix a cotton kurtha with a leggin and can make it look like a formal. Patiala are also grt if u have a right accessories to go with that, Always prefer ethnic with Patiala After all we are not kareena to try long tees with them and ppl around are not that much fashion sense, But if u can deal suspectful looks go for it….. After all what for we got Independence.
Masakkali, Anarkali these will come and go so don’t spend much bucks on them , And there will be so many duplicates for the original prints , so the same design u bought for a bomb will come to platform within a month , So U r warned.
For casual Denims are best, Evn for a day out , a casual evng meeting, These are the must haves.Go for some branded jeans, See what Is more comfortable, Have some basic colors blue ,black , some pale blue, you can evn try a torn one. Most important thing to remember while shopping is how many times u can wear that, based on that estimate your budget. Capris are also go well as an evng attire, There some cotton capris which can be extendible so u can wear them as pants or as capris, Try to get that type of things so u will be safe in home. And trendy in outside, I bought one for 1000 may u can get cheaper than this as sales are in full swing.  For tees, have how many u can afford Bare denim is worth a try , It is economical and trendy, Black ,White ,Red are must haves .Go for cheap so u can replace them quickly,take care about washing,My maid always make me feel sad after watching my new tee after a wash. Cotton tops are also goes well as it will give some formal look evn with jeans, Don’t go for brands for this ,try some local. Atleast have one gud branded jacket, one cardigan ,one black top for party wear.
Scarves: I simply love them, as it gives  a new look for any dress ,Kashmiris is a must have and don’t go for a cheap as it lasts long so it is worthful. You can even try silk ,cotton ones. Exhibitions are the best place to buy them ,(Due to my vast experience) But u have to be  gud in bargaining otherwise u will also end  up like me .

Sarees. Ummm Simply I wanna punch every one who keep on telling me that saree is my best dress, It is complex to select, very complicated to wear , and managing this is a biiiiiiiiiiiig issue, I will wait for a lift for 30 mins to go for second floor when I am in saree.I don’t know y taking stairs  is a big nightmare when you are in saree,But u have to admit that it is india’s grt fashion invention ,it is elegant beautiful and sexy too. So have gud number of sarees, all headache around this 6 m fabric is worth a try.. Have diff kinds, Cottons ,Silk ,Trndy.. In this I will trust my mom blindly…  Some times evn I try my granny sarees ,Gadwal and pattu are give a diff look .And I guess ppl admire that……
So I am signing off girls… to be continued…… Yeah loads to share…….

The Train

The train :
Umm.. Don’t worry I am not going to give stats about when this transport medium came to public, what the maximum length of existing train track, Because I don’t know them… lol… Train is not just a transport medium to us, Ofcrse we Indians mix everything with emotions. But I love indian trains, I never talk with my fellow passengers, Because I am not so gud in making conversations  with strangers ,But somehow trains always made me to talk… But I love that.. If u wanna score big in ur mass communications just take a train travel in general compartment,  u will get to know what the real world is… I am not a gud listener , I cant help myself to interrupt any conversation , But when I am in train I donno how I will become that much patient…

Ok I will tell one of my fresh train travel experiences… I am too lazy to book tickets in advance, And my axis bank password is lost… Don’t laugh yaar.. this will happen to everyone, As my laziness rocks I did not went to bank whicj is 3 km far from my office,, so living without internet banking from last 3 monthsJ… Every time I am paying my mobile bill with fine(umm… after they officially bar my outgoing calls) then I will get my lazy feet make a way to their stores…  SO forget about prebooking  tickets…..
And I am too egoistic and too independent to ask any one to help me. So I trust my guts to take a general  Journey.. I was seated ok… And to mention I never take train to go home, bus is my default one.
Seated next to a granny thought she wont disturb with much of questions. I was dressed in casual jeans ,Tee And a cap sweater.. Which make every one noticed me with a look of where is world going… Criticized myself for being odd dressed..  My train final destination is trivendram, So it travels through tamilnadu.. SO infront of me a tamil pair, Beside me a Malayalam family… So granny did not find any one to share her views about lastest telugu serial.
My co –passenegers engaged in eating and drinking from the starting of jrny, Hard to admit those dishes smelled very delicious,But still I stuck with saint juice L as my stomach cant bear much experiments , Yet I managed some of delicacies they told me some names which are hard to remember even to pronounce. There is an elderly man (umm I think 50 years is not elderly so middle aged ) telugu man standing infront of me….. He is more of ummm ( I mean if u see a man with white n white dress, watch , rings for five fingers,50 gms chain what u thought) , Suddenly he told (nope stated )that  current ruling party is doing so much fine, Then I heard some of uh-huh, I know this is the starting of cyclone, So then conversation moved back to 1947 and then 2010 then to predictions for 2020, Thn everyone suddenly remembered 2012 is the end.. In the mean time granny started interview, Name, What my  father do , what s my sal package she even asked how much is my take home(shocked .. me too …I evn thought her next question would be what type of allowances I will get ) And she gave some gyan about how girls should dress , sit and even some saving tips for finances…. Some are actually gud… She even complimented my jacket (wow denim way to go )… Unfortunately my stop came … she gave me some sweets , asked me to give to my mom and sis…. After  I was out of train Suddenly I remembered I did nt even ask her name… I felt like a stupid. And I still did not understand why she is travelling alone, And why I no one came to the station also…
Some how I did not liked that.. I called immediately to my granny almost after one month… I heard the joy in her voice, It comforted me so much.
My granny

Love u nayanamma

Everybody think it but never say it.

Come on yaar u did not even read a single sentence and u r concluding on what I am gonna write… not fair… My frnds always find me bit loud.. I don’t know why… May be I can ask a waiter  how his job is, I can tell him how food tastes.. I never bothered to tell a chef that food tastes worst , or never misses a chance to appreciate him. Recently I went to indijoe  restaurant  in successive days, First with my office team, later day with my cousins,I owe them a party so planned it there as I wont miss my shopping there. At last they gave me a feedback booklet ( yeah it contains so many pages ) So ticked couple of could be better Check boxes. J  then the manager came to me requesting me to change it as it concerns his employers. So funny ofcrse I did that because he is too polite almost  showed me his all communication skills. Its kind of cheating with report cards Ofcrse I told the same to him alsoJ. If you don’t want to listen answers then don’t ask me questions. My frnds never talk in restaurant , Freedom of speech is inversely proportional to Amount of bill. If you are paying you have more restrictions. J
                But my doubt is why ???Why??? U know ur coll dnt have any dressing sense , how can u bear it without saying it. You have a problem with your Team manager ,Write it that is why we learnt communication from out kg’s. Art of expression.. U like someone but never admit that, then whats the reason of having that feeling. I wont believe in eyes can talk kinda stuff, because there are ignorants like who cant understand plain English, so people like me heart talks eyes talk wont be chalega (will kidneys and liver(s?)also talk) SO express it  whatever it is,,,, Don’t load ur head too much…….
Wanna criticize some one do it. Blame him ,(sorry for the masculine :P ) still not satisfied beat him..
Wanna appreciate some one special … If english flattering words not sufficient borrow some from French , Swahili or any African tribal languages.. :P
What ever it is don’t  keep it inside and don’t let ur people bother about these stupid things,, because I know some people who are bothered about office and come home with stupid mood and ruin everything.
If you can sleep at 10 pm then ur brain is in good shape.. so clear all ur temp files, unnecessary things for a fresh start, so that main processes wont get disturbed ……
So I guess enough gyan…. Need to rush for lunch .. take care… bubye…
