Vest:Thrifted
Skirt:Halogen(I just googled it and its from Nordstroms)
White Tank Top:Target
Sandals: TJMaxx $7.99, I got at 3 compliments on them just TODAY!

Another really awesome outfit. I am digging this dressing up even if I have no place to go. This skirt was from the church rummage sale pile. I bought a whole bunch of things for $2 so this makes each piece like 20 cents or so. I swear people in the bay area are way to0 rich and that is why I have such beautiful, branded things for next to nothing. My only regret is why didnt I do this earlier on. When deciding on the vest to wear, I was torn between this one and the beige one here. A quick email to Shilpa and she told me this one. And this one it was.
After picking up Neil, the boys and I met NK for lunch. It was fun doing something with just the two of them. The boys felt special. We both had a little time to talk. It went so well, that NK and I decided we are going to do this a weekly affair. Just the boys and us for lunch. And once Samar is in school, that one free day, I will meet him for coffee. And pretend we are young and childfree.Take note of the fact that my hair is down and how horribly messy it looks. And I need to do something about it stat!
You look so cute and sassy in that second picture. Go you!
Me: Thanks Angie
wowwwwwwwwwwww i love it..love the blue skirt,love the vest..shoes..everything! I dared to post a pic today..:D lemme know what u think.
Me: I just did!
Loving the smile…beautiful
And yes, digging the outfit as well
Cool. And all for $2? That’s too much. I should consider relocating to your area!!!
Me:
i love the glek glek pose girl, mighty fine!
p.s: khulley rakha karey, aap key baal khuley bahut achey lagtey hain (who said this or more or less this? and in which movie?)
your hair looks cool not tied asaaan
Me: My horrible in dire need of a haircut hair….I think its the camera. The Nikon makes everything look good. It took me a while to read that out loud. Khuley was tough and I asked NK
You loook awesome int he second pic…just out of Vogue…and no I am not maska maaroing you
Me: Maska…
I love this look so much. The top, vest, skirt and those lovely sandals are perfect. PERFECT.
So what does ‘gelek gelek’ mean?
Me: Its used when women walk with swaying of their hips.
gleek gleek look is nice.. i love the sunshine on u.
Me: gives me a glow right? This is right outside by my doorstep btw.
i think i will walk the gelek gelek walk today, four year old can follow suit.
Me: We do that walk all the time.
Love the skirt. It looks GREAT. Nice combi you did, and cannot imagine, how well the sandals match your skirt!! Was just thinking…. even the top you wore with your jeans yesterday would look good with this skirt wouldn’t it? And why do you say you are going tut on a date?
Me: Say I am going out on a date.:)
And using the daughter’s jewelery and looking pretty huh, she lets you wear her stuff? You know my SIL has three closely spaced kids, and she already has huge plans of date nights when her kids grow up.
And yes, a wonderful look yet again.
Me: Oh the girls seem okay about it. I think we would all be sharing stuff for years to come.
The second pic as you obviously know if fab – nice outfit! Loved reading about how you found time with Nk and the kids!
Me: Its not much, less than an hour but was fun. So important to spend a little time with each child/gender pair. They tend to view it as such a special time. Neil told his sister, we went out today, you didnt NA NA NA
Wow! This length of skirt is perfect for you! Your legs looks so long and thin! Perfect.
I’m still on my old wear a long necklce thing. I just feel a long necklace with your outfits would look amazing
Me: My long necklaces bounce around too much and annoy me. WIll try it next time though
You look so young, people were probably looking at NK and thinking: cradle snatcher!
Me: You win my favourite comment of the day! rofl
This is cool
the second pose just rocks!!!
Dun tuck yr hair behind yr ear..let it flow like beside yr face….
Well the gelek gelek post fits geylang properly…u will gel well over there…
LOL
Me:HY Geylang!
P.S: Why is Ava in all pink?from her shirt to her pants to her bottle to her crocs?
She really is growing so big man
Me: You know what that bottle is. Its something called My Meeba. She bought it with her portion of the focus group. So its an electronicl virtual pet, you feed, play and then when u get 7 hearts, the bottle opens and you get a stuffed toy! Cool toy right?
glek glek pose rocks
i love the skirt
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this outfit! The colors go so well together! And your sandals are amazing! You look so good in your pictures!
I’m going to have to check out TJ Maxx for those sandals…I can get by wearing sandals until about mid-September over on my side of the country
I love the lines on that skirt…and the lines on the skirt and the vest make a nice combo…….and I love those glads!
Me: I thought the same. the different lines made an interesting combo.
The ‘gelek-gelek” pose/walk in this outfit will definitely earn you a couple of whistles:)
You have a very sweet smile-makes you look almost shy!
cute outfit. the kinda skirt gives me the heebie jeebies though – i have nightmares of it doing a monroe number while strapping the kids in carseats n stuff.
Hi Sraikh,
long time reader, delurking. am a mom too, with 2 kids one of them asthmatic so can relate to lot of things you say. really admire the way you seem to find time for everything .
Me: waves hello
loved this outfit.looks great on you. Just do something about the hair. Am a big fashion dimwit myself so cant give you suggestions , but the current way you wear it does not do you any good.
~ K
Me: I need to do something, its just what something that is holding me back.
I have a weakness for houndstooh vests. I like how you’ve paired it with a casual outfit. Very nice!
Avasha looks adorable. She is gonna be one pretty lady.
I need a kid pronto to take my pics. This timed camera thingie is a pain
Me: Ask a passing stranger. I dont know how I would do it without the kids. I cannot find anything to place the camera on not to mention.
Nice! I must add, what amuses me the most is that while you go talking about poses that suit you and so on, there stands your daughter, obviously not posed, effortlessly looking like a model!
Me: Right, she is so very photogenic isnt it?
Re: your hair, I think a longer hairstyle would suit you – something with more volume to it. Let it grow and then get layers or something.
M
Me: if I let it grow long, I start losing hair like crazy. I need to go consult a trichologist.
the second pic has such a girlie feel to it. reminds me of my carefree, college going days when I used to pose for pics like that. I don’t know whats in that pic, thats bringing that era back to me. May be ur pose! You look so carefree and happy.
It also makes me want to see a pic of u pre-marriage, pre-children. Can u please dig out one and post it, please
Me: Arrey, I was a kid pre-marriage and pre kid. You would love at it..And its not in digital form Will see what I can do. You know what I want to do. NK used to send me sher shayaari and I want to type some of them out. A few are really really good and till today, I refuse to believe he wrote it!
Great look! The skirt pairs up nicely with the vest. Have you considered straightening your hair and then have layers?- Just a suggestion.
Me: Hmmm I used to have that back when I had thick hair.. Sigh..
You look like a carefree, bindaas fun girl on the ‘gelek gelek’ pic..not even a tad bit married
Lovely summer skirt..and an apt attitude to go with
Me: It is a such a fun twirling wala skirt that I felt young..
now that’s what i call a smile..bootiifoool=)
Oooooh.. lovely summery outfit. You have gorgeous glowing skin.. care to share the secret??
Me: I dont actually. Its the camera+ the sun.. It makes everyone looks good. I use tons of Aquaphor on my leg because they get very dry. Thats why you can sort of see it shimmer. Thats the secret Aquaphor !
Neat outfit. Your smile is like Serena Williams’.
She smiles these somewhat shy smiles when she hits a good shot.
Me: My head is going to touch the ceiling. Thanks AJ.
I second AJ! Your smile really is like serena williams’!
And lovely outfit Sunita. One of your best!
how do you manage to hold your boobs up from sweeping the floor after 4 kids? I have 2 kids and when I sit down for breakfast, mine are already seated on the table.
Me: rofl. invest in a good bra is all I can saw. Although bench pressing has helped as well.
ooh, i luurve to see you gelek gelek!
Nutter that I am, I actually thought I’d already commented this:-)
i think a no vest wud have made u hotter!
Me: I have fat flabby arms and feel the need to not to inflict them upon the world.

I meant- why do you say… you have nowhere to go, when you are going out on a date girl????? Damn my typing goof-ups. Messes up my comments so bad I tell you!
Me: Oh because the date was impromptu, I didnt know I was going to meet him till I called him as I was driving back from school
