Falling Behind: Personal Fashion

Images by NURBS


Sweatshirt dress: Racheal Roy; Boots: Whooga

Do 2 wrongs make a right?
My whole life I have shamelessly and publicly humiliated my friends and sometimes even strangers for wearing sweats outside the house and UGGs. Even when the whole trend of high fashion outer wear sweats came out about 6-8 months ago and all the top fashion people where strutting about wearing sweat pants with boyfriends jackets I was like, “ You guys have gots to be kidding me!!” 
Not the conventional sweats, but I still do feel guilty about falling in love with this oversized dress I found.  It has a detachable Snood, which upon removal converts into an off shoulder dress. I quite like the versatility of it and the fact that it kept me incredibly comfy on my 14 hr flights.
Many months ago I was approached by Whooga to review their ugg boots and it took me forever to say yes. Only cause they are UGG – like boots that I frankly find very ugly. But having never ever tired a pair on and having way too many friends that swear by them, I wanted to know what all the fuss was about. So I agreed.
I have to confess that the comfort and the warmth of these boots are to die for. And luckily for me, they had the boots in some metallic colors to spice up my life. I love this bronze- gold color and the inner fur lining is a beautiful dark golden brown, which is even prettier. Whooga is an Australian company that uses Australian merino fleece. Do check them out.
Besides that, my trip was incredible. I have soo many images/ stories to share with you guys, I can’t wait!! But apart from all that I missed you guys! My world of virtual faceless friends… I love you!!
PS: this was shot before I left for my vacation when it was still fall. Enjoy the reminiscing.

  4. I can totally empathize on the UGGs. I know they feel amazing but I still don't like them! Oh well..

    And I was actually thinking if it was a hoodie a couple sizes up but you take me by surprise! I wear my bf's large hoodie a lot, but only casually!

    You look great against all those backdrops. Perfect transitional lounging outfit and I cannot imagine how heavenlythis must have felt on your long journey!

  8. I like the design detail of the collar and detachable possibility. It makes the classic medium grey heather jumper special. later, FashionLifeCoach

  11. Only you could look so fabulous in Ugg-style boots. You could wear a bin bag and look like a star. Are you back from your travels now? We've missed you. xxx
