Back in the groove

I am back..back in the groove! Just figuratively though, 'cause in real sense I am sulking and reminiscing about the good times spent with family and friends, good food and good weather (oh yeah, the Mumbai weather was so cool and romantic thanks to the monsoons) . But well yeah all good things come to an end and for now I have decided to just wallow in my sorrows (after effects of an India trip I tell yeah!)

Moving on, I am so touched and blessed to have supportive readers and caring blogger friends like you! Thank you so much for browsing through the blog and dropping you comments/suggestions. I really appreciate all this love. And though I have been lagging behind, I promise I will make up and be sure to read all your blogs..slowly but surely!

Well, leaving you to some catchy pics in my fave mini and a striking neckpiece thanks to my sis-in-law. You can make out from the hair that these pictures are from my pre-India trip days, right? Wait...what ..you didn't know I changed my hairstyle?

The Bauble Necklace

I have to admit, statement necklace were not my thing. I mean I was fond of them (on others of course!) but the statement accessory just seemed like a lot of fashion risk. I just probably had one statement necklace until recently and that too shopped from the by lanes of Colaba Causeway. Nothing too expensive or fancy-shmancy.

Of lately, (read - since I started my blog) I have given into trying out statement accessories - taking in inspiration from my favorite fashionistas in the virtual world. And one of the many experiments was – The Bauble/Bubble necklace. The original ‘Jcrew’ version at a freaking $$$ price, so frugalist that I am, I found myself an ‘easy on the pocket’ version of the same on a deals website – Groopdealz. My version cost me around 20 bucks.

My first time wearing the bauble necklace was definitely to go the 'tried-and-tested' way; i.e. to balance out the colors in the outfit. The necklace paired like a 'match-made-in-fashion-heaven' with my GAP colored denims; the neutral striped top completed the look.

There are so many outfits - office to casual, work to weekends - that can be styled around the bauble necklace. You can definitely buy the original version of jcrew or revert to ebay/amazon for much cheaper version. I believe you these days could also find two tone bauble necklaces too.

So my two cents after taking this fashion risk – go ahead indulge on the bauble necklace. Because the day you wear it, I promise you, you will receive compliments left and right :)

P.S. Groopdealz is an awesome deals website especially for fashion accessories - statement necklaces, earrings, bracelets, scarves, etc. The quality of items has been great but the shipping process is tad long. But since I have been in no hurry to receive the items, these deals have worked for me. You can check out the website here.
