Month of Clothing Experiments

Spent an extraordinary amount of time thinking of what to wear and buying things to complete these thoughts this month. GAH. But, as the result of my labours, I've actually come out quite well with this experiment. Behold:
Experiment: Flats with pretty embellishments. Got these online, and I loved the stars and the ladylike shape of them. I thought they looked so delicate, and perfect for a summer evening. The problem with online shopping for shoes is that I always err on the bigfoot side of things, and so these are slightly large. But! Easy fix because the straps are hooks (making it easy to slip on and off in Bombay Shoes-Off Flats) so I just have to add a higher up hole.
My other concern is that when it is actually hot enough to wear these, the sole will be too thin to traipse around outside. Oh well. For those days, we have our faithful Havaianas.

Experiment successful (in theory. We'll return to this in May.)

Experiment: Leather jacket with a sari
Listen, I was a big fan of this look even though some of my friends took one look at me and burst out laughing. I was comfortable and warm, and the worse thing that happened to me was that the leather was too slippery to hold the pallu, so I had to do a wrap thing. I had a shit load of weddings this past month, and so was looking for ways to not be bored by the clothes. I chose this for a relative chilled out function, and I got some compliments too.
I've also become style inspiration for my mother who now wants to wear a jacket as sari blouse to her next thing. So there, mockers.
Experiment mostly successful except maybe not to a traditional wedding function.

Experiment: Skulls

I was attracted to so many skulls in my days of online shopping that I only realised it after I put another skull thing in my shopping cart and went to review the order, and there were all the skulls. I'm not sure why I'm going all Damien Hirst this season, but this one slipped through my Advanced Skull Checking System mainly because the eyes and nose are shiny studs. SHINY STUD SKULL!
I'm debuting this maxi t-shirt dress today to a design fair thingie, but since Delhi is still being a bitch about getting warmer, I've also got on thick tights and a polo neck liner. Oh well. People can admire my neck when it's warm. Meanwhile: SKULL.
Experiment successful. Yay skulls!

Experiment: New website

My friend pointed me towards a dodgy looking Chinese website (I can't share, I want to, but she swore me to secrecy. Boo) with ridiculous prices, and so I bought these two things just to see what they were like. Obviously, you get shafted in the shipping, which is almost as much as the clothes themselves, so not that good a deal, but still like super cheap. You're basically only paying for the home delivery charges from Thailand or China or wherever the clothes are coming from.
As you can see: more skills in these black leggings. And a reindeer dress which I have been wearing around town (minus the pom poms, which I cut off because: overkill) and having a good ol' hipster time. Now to order the rest of my stowed away shopping cart, as soon as some more money comes in.
Experiment: successful, except clothes might fall apart after a season's wear. Do you care? You do not.
