Fashion is so great because it can be used to express your personal style and even reflect your outlook on life. However, on the other end of the spectrum, another great thing about it is that is so versatile that all it takes is a change of clothing to portray a completely different type of person. And it is all in fun to play dress up and pretend to be a different kind of girl, if just for a moment. This faux leather sheath from H&M that I got for 20% off with the iPhone app was perfect for the job: trendy and edgy, yet with a sufficiently modest cut so that it does not completely abandon my style. My boyfriend even made me pose "in character": I felt so badass (excuse my language)! All I wanted were some black ankle boots to complete the look!
P.S. Don't forget to enter the giveaway for a beautifully detailed Amrita Singh bangle here! You have until October 17th!

OMG. My first time reading your blog and I've already decided that I need (a) this H&M faux leather dress and (b) those Jacob shorts in the last post. I think your blog could be very dangerous for me!

Fierce dress, lady! You look fantastic. I totally agree, fashion is such a fun tool for self-expression. You can really convey your moods so well through it. And it's so fun to experiment with other styles. (:

Although I love, love the tough-girl pics up top, the last one is bar none the best, because your true colors seem to come out more. Your natural look is sincere, sweet, and very charismatic. Love the photos!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I loooooove the textures you've mixed and matched. And I'm so with you about the chameleon nature of fashion. I love to change it up.
