Clothing lessons I learnt💃

Growing up my parents used to buy clothing only 3-4 times a year mainly during festive seasons or sometimes when they needed any piece of clothing. They dint have television nor internet so they as consumers had the freedom to decide and mindfully buy the stuff they need only when they need it unlike our generation. Here we turn our tv on or any social media platform it bombards us with lot of products which dint exist in the previous era and we are tricked into believe that these are essentials. There is some sale or offer going on every other day on the online shopping platforms. We have piled up our closets with skin care, hair care products, slippers, clothes, bags, home essentials etc.. Im also guilty of piling my closet up. So here are the clothing lessons I learnt: 

1. Don't buy a new skin care or hair care product unless the previous one is over.

2. Invest in quality over quantity. Im not that kind of person who looks into brands while I purchase stuff. If something feels good I buy it and I am happy to pay less. But these days I have realised that investing in proper brands is actually beneficial. Instead of buying uncomfortable rough cheap jean we can pay more to buy a branded jean that can last us long and in the mean time is comfortable. Now I prefer to have one branded jean over 10 rough low quality ones.

3. Investing in brands saves time. This true because we don't have to run to places and hunt for pieces instead go to the branded store and we can tell our size and just get the item and be back in no time. You don't have to try multiple garments to find out what fits you. Because once you buy a specific size from a brand you know it and can buy it next time without any hassle of trying it.

4. Invest in basic pieces which can be styled in versatile way. If you think brands are expensive try buying only the basic pieces from brands. Example: Jeans, leggings, inner wear, plain t-shirts etc.. We can mix and match these with other pieces to create outfits. We girls must invest in white and black leggings because we pair that with most of our Kurtis.

5. Invest in neutrals rather than bright colours. I made a mistake of buying a red handbag and it doesn't match very well with all my outfits. Rather than this black or white bags or beige coloured bags go with all outfits and give a rich and sophisticated look. Same thing with slippers. Investing in black, white and sandal coloured footwear can match with most of our outfits.

Here's my take. I have restrained myself from buying clothes multiple times a year and rather use all that money to invest in one good branded piece of clothing.

An incident at the gym 💪💪

 Hi to whoever reading this blog sorry that I was missing for a while. You know caught up in work and blah and blah but these are just reasons as I was lazy to write this blog. I suddenly felt I have nothing to share here. But got my senses back so lets jump to the story😁 As I was hitting the gym the other day I saw this tremendous looking girl who had well built muscles better than any girl I have ever seen at the gym before. She looked something like below pic. You can tell by the look of it she has been working really hard to be that healthy and how consistent she must have been to have built that great physique. Whenever she walks into the gym you can feel everyone noticing her because of the great physique she has out of respect and admiration because gym ppl know how difficult it is to build muscles of that stature. Me and my husband while hanging out with one of this friends talked about this and he his friend asked me why dint I go and tell her she looked great. He said sh...

I switched my work organization😉

First of all thank you for coming here to read my blogs. I haven't posted for a long time now and believe I will be more consistent going forward.  I joined a new organization 2 days back and it feels like the best decision I have taken in a while. I believe we must all keep looking for growth in all aspects of life. Be it career or health or emotional growth. Sometimes you get stuck in a loop of doing things and no matter how much you work hard you are never appreciated or more problems arise. A similar situation happened to me in life where I felt no amount of work is getting me out of this loop.  I had some really crappy work surrounded by tough people to handle. When I decided to switch my job for monetary and other reasons it was very hard to get any interview calls.  The key here is to keep believing. I never believed because market is bad and stuff but my husband kept constantly applying to jobs on my behalf. I had some mental breakdowns due to the work wherein I h...

A post for my 2nd Anniversary 👫 💓

  It's been 2 years and there is a lot to share but I'll try to keep it simple. Meanwhile I hope you can take away some good things from here. WEDDING STORY: I had an arranged marriage as many of you know. The first time I met him I did not overthink it. He just looked calm and quiet (maybe shy or awkward). It was my first time that a prospective groom came to our house. I had nothing in my head. It was around April 2021. My sister said ‘he didn't look at you straight and maybe he isn't interested in the wedding’. I felt the same because when our families discussed future aspirations he said he wanted to do MBA and was waiting for results from IIM Lucknow. At that time I felt that if he converts IIM Lucknow, how will I go and live there for the next 2 years? I din't want to resign from my job. So we just waited for his results and he got rejected from IIML. It was sad but this is what led to our wedding 😂.  FIGHTS: Our fights were crazy back in the day. It was new ...
