Dress: Courtesy Let Them Stare; Jacket: Thrifted; Shoes: Underground UK; Glasses: Fendi; Necklace: OS Accessories 

Anastasia's design for this black tuxedo dress reminded me so much of Rei Kawakubo's eccentricity  that I decided to style the whole look very Comme Des Garcon-ish. Turned a tweed jacket upside down over the asymmetrical waist-lined dress. The dress is definitely going into my work staple. You should check out more of her work here.

In other weekend news, I went kayaking on the Hudson for the first time and loved it. Found a new dumpling place in china town and have a new favorite. Did laundry. Hung out with friends. And stayed in today because I was forced to by a stupid cold. But had a decent weekend despite the cold and I cannot wait for the next weekend to arrive when I get to take a mini vacation to Vermont for 4 days. Everybody rejoice!

Am a Secret Carnival Worker: Personal Fashion

Harem Shorts: Alexander Wang; Shirt: Cotton World; Shoes: Underground UK; Sunglasses: Fendi; Chandelier Necklace: Karmic Kabira by Vandana Dewan [from Attic Mumbai]; Leather Cuff: Mango

Each piece is this entire outfit of mine has a story. I must tell.

Creepers: I paid more for the shipping of these shoes than I did for the shoes themselves. It is because I ordered UK size 7 instead of US size 7 and had to pay for shipping twice to get the right size.

Shorts: Found my dream shorts at the A. Wang sample sale. Went on the last day for the sale and didn't expect to find much but I did. Literally the only bottoms in my size in the whole sale but nontheless totally my style and I didn't like anything else.

Necklace: Saw it online on the Attic store's facebook page. Asked my friend Shweta who is one of the owners of the store to send me multiple images of it before I could confirm that it really was a huge size necklace. Asked my sister to pick it up for me in Mumbai and was finally sent to me via a bff visiting me from Mumbai. Yes, I want, what I want, what I want!

Fendi SS 2011 Sunglasses: I had been dying over these Fendi sunglasses ever since I saw the pics of the SS 2011 show. After calling all the Fendi stores I realized that unless I was someone insanely important I was not going to find them. So I put myself on the wait list at Fendi and waited and waited and waited. Finally 2 weeks ago they called. And how I made it to NYC from NJ after work and reached the store before 7pm is an entire obstacle race narration altogether. The point is, it was a tough day but I finally made it to the store 3 mins before closing and got my glasses!!! I can totally tell you guys in advance that you are going to get sick of seeing these babies on me for a longgggg longggg time in the future.

But it's all worth it in the name of FASHION!!

PS: I love this shoot. Wanted to experiment with lines and geometric composition with existing surrounding elements. I think we achieved it quite nicely. Yes?
