I wore this dress/shirt with tights the last time (PG, see I do repeat my outfits) I like them better with my favourite jeans (which are becoming too loose,which is a good thing but these are the only ones I have which kinda tight). Do you see the red shoes? A friend gave them to me. She is a size 9 and this is a size 10. They fit BUT they are narrow and I am on a mission to stretch them. I googled and there are a few ways to stretch shoes. Or bring them to a cobbler,which might not be cost-effective. One way is to wear 2-3 thick socks and wear the shoes for 2-3 hours. Which sounds painful.Any ideas,anyone?
See the necklace, its made of copper. You can’t really tell but its an awesome necklace. I love it.
Tomorrow, I talk about what I want to be when I grow up.





You have a very pleasant smile. I like the way it is paired with the jeans rather than the tights.
Me: I love your userid. SilentReader. Do you have a blog?
Awwww I love this outfit and you are sooo ravishing,especially in the closeup! Yayayay to that smiling picture that’s how you shoul be ALL the time S! And I agree the tunic looks better with the jeans. Wash the jeans to make them tight again
also, let me know if the tip to make the shoes wider works I need it for quite a few shoes!
Me: So far, I found quite a few ways. I will experiment on the shoes and let you know. Thanks for the compliment. I keep forgetting to ask you, did you try the speed skaters.
My favorite outfit so far. You look stunning.
Me:Thanks A
wowwwwwwwwwwww very nice!!And i put up the market pics..I look horrible
Me:Array. Am off to your blog.
Awww….I love the outfit but more so the 2nd picture – u look so pretty when ur smiling
And my God – so so young!
(yes I’m appealing to your vanity there but every word is still true
)
Me: Oye, I am not young plus each child(birth) adds 5 years to your age
Never had to stretch shoes – more like stuff them with insoles because my feet just slip out lol
Me:Lucky you
Hey How are you? Looking good,i liked this outfit and the shirt looks better on these jeans than the tights
psssst.shhh..dont tell Samar, but i think i am falling in love with Neil
(just love his pic on the header)
Me: rofl I wouldnt tell Samar and spare his feelings.
God, I do remember seeing the other picture in august and I could not help but open both of the pictures in new windows, tally them and be so so so surprised at your weight loss! Just look at them! Your arms seem so much thinner and your face, SO gorgeous! Lovely! Keep it up!
Me:I just went and did the same thing and you are right! I actually hate my arms and have been doing alot of stuff to them. I’m glad they are working.
I am of no help in your shoes problem. I stopped by to say that you look very pretty in the second close up picture. Your face and smile is really bright. Keep up your improvisations
I am considering getting myself a haircut after 2 years and have no idea what to do
Me: Ohhh are you going to short or something completely different? Will you send me pictures of your before and after?
Wow! You look great here. Love everything you’re wearing! The shoes are awesome. And you’re so pretty in the close-up. Are you wearing make-up??
Me:Yup lipstick and foundation. I lost my makeup pouch again and I just have one lipstick now.. Sigh..
Looking great! You look like you are down by a couple of dress sizes.
Me: Hmm..nope I havent lost a single pound.:(
you do look so beautiful in the second picture. that is one great smile.
Absolutely glowing!!! I love the up-close picture you look beautiful
. I’m gonna say this is probably my favorite outfit.
You should do more close-ups. You look lovely in it especially that smile
Me: See new idea below. What do you think? And I will try to smile in each picture
I love the smile, keep it on forever
Me: Char bacho ka sath, hamesha smile hi hote hai. Or rona hote hai.
Pretty
Me: Thanks
yes even i like this outfit more than the tights pairing… you looking taller and in the second pic, your subtle smile is simply killing. n those cheeks are so pull-able n kissable
(u know what i mean
Me: *blushes*
you look very pretty, esply in the close-up
Ohhh Sunita, you look so beautiful! You look so lovely in the close up pic!
Keep it up:)
I love the dress / shirt.. It looks soo summery
And gosh, ur pretty.. Why don u put more pics up of u up-close..
And seriously each kids adds 5 yrs to ur face? Then, did u start having them at 10? Because I look older than u (and I am 25
)
Me: rofl..
love love love the cute girl in the second pic
Me: Cute girl.. Me a girl ha?
very very pretty!! you are looking gorgeous!!
tho i would prefer straight cut jeans under this than flared bottoms! but then thats me. i just dont like flared bots! :p i might wear wit with a churidaar even!
cheers!
Me: I just saw on a website, tights are churidars. Those look really awesome. I need to ask my sister to send me some.
woh!you’re looking lovely!the close up is great…all glowy and smiley!did avasha take the close up too?pliss to tell what you’re doing for your arms-the bane of my life.I’m so inspired to blog after reading all you moms..will let you on when it happens.Hugs to mr.dreamy-eyes and mr.han’some dude…
Me: Nope the close up is from my webcam. I think the light is reflecting and thats why I look all glowy. I will email you about the arms.
Like the outfit. Like your smile even better in the second pic – that’s a beauuuuuutiful closeup !
Me:Thank you
I want that dress
Me: you can have it.
Whatttaaa pic(second waala)!! That glow – is it louuuu?
Me: Rofl. I think I was smiling at something Avasha said.
Nice smile. Your skin looks really good. Is it cos of the all the work out that you do? the table cloth dress (so NK says) looks nice on the jeans. Have not spoken to you in a while..so many things to tell you… Will call you or see you online.
Me: I called leh and the girls said you were not back. Ask Isha toc call me tomorrow. have things to tell you as well. I cannot believe we are using my blog’s commenting space to “talk” to each other.
Cute
and btw why dont u try straight fit jeans? they mite make u look taller
Me: I will look for some. I hate buying and trying jeans. Just hate it.
great combo!
you have a beautiful, heart warming smile! and yes you are looking younger in the close up. you need to wear that smile more often
Me: Thanks and waves hello.
What a smashing outfit! Ok that’s it, I need to get my act together.
Me:I am telling you, doing a week of daily outfit(s) will do wonders. It will motivate and challenge you and your wardrobe. Will you take it up?
LOVE the second photo – print off 100 copies of it and use it for everything that needs a photo!
Me: Hmm I need to print something for the girls. Its from a webcam though so resolution wise it might suck.
As for shoes, I was told by a cobbler here that a narrow width shoe will not stretch enough to become a wide width, if that is what you’re going for – the difference is too much. But do let me know if it works – have a couple of pairs of my husband’s shoes that have been put away, because of this problem – I found the shoes at a great price, and bought them without checking the width
Me: For this particular pair, its not that bad. If it just gives a bit, I could wear it really comfortably. Have you heard of stretching solution/spray? Kiwi sells it. However, on another site, the reviewer said it was just rubbing alcohol and then use heat. It all sounds very crazy and requires time. I might do involve the girls and do a science experiment.

very nice. this top is very pretty. it goes well with the jeans than the tights.
Me: I thought so too. Thanks Anju.
This outfit is really working out well for you. You look very pretty in your close up pic.
Me: Thanks Kay. Hey you havent updated your fitness blog like forever. Whats new with you?
top looks way better with the jeans than it did with the tights
Good luck with wearing a narrow pair of shoes for 2-3 hours.
Me: I actually did it for 1 hour yesterday evening with 2 pairs of Nk’s socks. It wasnt that bad. When I took them out, they felt looser but today they are back to normal.
two thumbs up to the copper necklace!
Me: Nice right. You actually cannot make out the intricate detail that is on the chain.
That last line cracked me up..and I actually giggled into a conference call without muting the phone
Me: About growing up? How are you feeling these days. So exciting..
You are looking very pretty in the close up
. Loved your top, just this morning i saw someone
wearing a similar one in subway train. Hat’s of to you to the courage to speak out with pride about the thrifted stuff.Not many people have that….Kudos to you!
Have a great weekend with your family
Me: Its funny how NK cringed when I even say the word thrift store. I could really care less now about what people think
Btw, You should do more close ups….those are much prettier:)
Me: They are much easier to take as well, since I just click it on my laptop’s webcam. Maybe I will do a week of close ups with focus on interesting earrings and necklaces. Hmmm
You look so lovely! I love that close up of yours! You look gorgeous! 4 kids? Difficult to believe
And your outfit – beautiful!
Me: Yup. 4 all mine. rofl
OMG! you look so slim. And so young.
I think you have reached a size which in India at least will make people ask and wonder “what’s wrong, don’t you get enough to eat, you certainly don’t look happily healthy”.
Me: hahaha.
In one of your posts you said that the fact that people in India say nasty things keeps you motivated to workout. Newsflash- Nothing is gonna change on that’ front.
One of my size 2 friends has switched to whole milk to put on weight because after all everyone in India can’t be wrong and they have convinced her, she looks too thin.
Me: What. People say that as well? One of my fav quote is “One can never be too rich or too thin”
You look very pretty!
at your fav quote, TRUST ME. I am horribly underweight (FOURTY KGS.), and defintely way too thin. I would seriously do anything to have your body! I’m NOT kidding!
Me: 40kg.. Sigh I think I was 10 yrs old the last time I weighed that much. How tall are you?
love the second picture.. u have a beautiful smile… im a dentist so u have to believe me.. though i dont see ur teeth in the pic..hehe and hey i like the lipstick color,looks natural.. can u temme which brand is it and what shade?
Me: My front 2 teeth are horribly stained. Sigh. I hate them.A dentist huh..I have such a horrible fear of dentists. SO in honour of my first child free 2 hour time slot, I have made a dentist appt and a gynae appt the following week.The lipstick is Covergirl chocolate shine 505 bought at Target for $3.44. And the other one is Bronzed Shine 510. And I found at the Family Dollar Maybelline Forever Mettallics Lip Liner Cocoa Lights. I am using this one today. For one dollar, I think it’s awesome.
I was scrolling down to see other comments and I saw a comment by ‘Menaka’ asking for your dress. I was like “hmm, did I write that?”
Lol, it was funny coz for one second I thought I really did. Creepy.
Me: Its not you? i though it was you. I didnt check the ip address. Weird.
But anyway, I don’t think there’s Forever 21 nearby here. We go to Calgary for shopping and there’s a new huge mall in the city. We’re going to check that out tomorrow.
Me: Have fun tomorrow. Post some pictures.
I like that close-up you look so pretty (which I’m sure you are)!!!
And of course that top is very pretty too.
That’s a great outfit!
And the smiling photo of you is just beautiful.
Thanks for sharing!
you have a very nice smile!
woohoo..that’s a gorgeous you in the last pic
Like everybody else, came to say the second pic esp – gorgeous! Loved this with leggings and jeans both – jeans more because I am so conservative when it comes to clothing
But please convey my feeling to Neil
Yes and weirdly my butt, my thighs AND my abs were sore initially. Now not so much. I love it with squats n lunges! Also, I tried a tunic wth leggings and loved them! I should put a pic!
Me: ohooh will you take a picture? Please especially since I am leggings craze.
I dont know what happened to my comment! I did start the speed skaters and they along with squats and lunges will give me a strong lower body, I hope. But they HURT like hell!
Me: I approved the first bunch first and am working on the 2nd lot
Thank you, I am a silent writer too
I have a private blog and hardly update. Just have too much in common with you when it comes to the two boys.
I have been experimenting a lot these days to see what works and what doesn’t . I completed the 8 week training for beginner for 10 k by Hal Higdon. Although I didn’t lose much in the beginning. I lost a couple pounds towards the end. Bu tI started writing down what I eat and it is helping me keep tabs on number of cheat meals I’m having every week.
Me: Nice. I find the journalling very helpful but I dont do it regularly.
Oh I have a 5k run next weekend. Last one for this year.
Me: Have a blast. Are you going for a PR?
I should start updating my blog though….
Me:Yes please do!
Oh my, I’m feeling shy now.
yeah desi tights. much prettier tho not as comfy at times!
i am verry partial to churidaars! hate salwaars! churidaar kurta is my fav if i have to wear Indian!
cheers!
