Top: Vintage Variety; Pants: Zara; Necklace / Clutch: TopShop; Shoes: Office

As I said in my last personal fashion post, the trip to that vintage store in NJ proved to be delightfully fruitful. This blue sequence top is also one of my finds from the store. Doesn't it just remind you of Madonna from the 80’s? Paired it with pants I got from Zara with suspenders. Although I’m not a fan of the fit, but I realized that only after I saw the pics. Hehe.. My mirror at home is like one of those magic mirrors. Makes me look taller and thinner than I actually am. Not my fault.

Had a relaxed weekend, with a little bit of partying and a lot of self-reflecting. Some conclusions in life are: You are your best friend. Family is the only unconditional love you shall ever have. And that I AM THE KING OF THE WORLD!!  Hehe…

Please oh please give me some juice about your lives!!! I am itching for some gossip!!

Happy Independence Day to India and Pakistan: Personal Fashion

So August 15^th is India’s Independence day and this year I celebrated it in a much more meaningful way than I ever have throughout my life. Nothing too spectacular, but I ended up going to an event that was meant to celebrate 2 Independence Days together. The point was we start drinking at around 11pm on August 14^th [which is Pakistan’s Independence Day] and keep drinking past midnight and into August 15^th [which is India’s Independence Day]. Don’t worry; besides drinking we saw some amazing music performances, some poetry, some rapping and some insane comedy by fellow south Asians.

Ofcourse it was a fun event. But what hit me after I got out of the event and on my way home was that this was such a brilliant idea. And that outside of our motherlands Pakistanis and Indians coexist as not just normal people of the world but even as really close friends. Maybe it is familiarity cause we still look alike and in a 3^rd world, which is a mix of various other colors, cultures and nationalities. Maybe our brownness is a sort of a common hence bonding factor. But I just don’t get why we can’t get along in our own nations across that stupid imaginary line called “The Border”. 

Really badly wishing both our countries peace and friendship.

PS: Totally forgot about the outfit!! Hehehe.. So how about you tell me what you think of it this time instead of me writing about it? As you can see I did chores this weekend like laundry and stuff. So wasn’t too exciting a weekend except for this Independence Day event I went to. How was everyone else’s weekend?
