She Wore It Better

A couple of weeks ago, I was scrolling IG, and came across this outfit worn by Kylie Jenner. Not going to lie, I instantly fell in love with the effortless chic vibes she was putting out. The blazer contrasted with the biker shorts and sneakers was genius. I would have NEVER thought to put that together, but here it was, and it looked amazing. The silver fanny pack not only cinched her waist and accentuated her curves, but also added an edgy, funky element to the already super cool outfit.

I originally had no plans of trying to re-create this outfit. For starters, I didn't think I could pull it off, and I can not (more on that later). And also, it really isn't my style. I am more of a dress girl myself. But fate would have it, that I was freezing cold one day and needed to buy a blazer/jacket to keep me warm for the evening and I saw this pink blazer in Macys for a great price. It was like I meant to try this outfit out, and live out my Kylie dreams (I am crazy, I know). So here it is, my budget rendition of Kylie Jenner's Badass Boss Woman Who Just Finished Biking Outfit. ↓↓↓↓
So I think I pulled off my version of Kylie's outfit OKAY, but oh my god, the original version was a sight to see on me!!! Haha, I tried on the blazer and fanny pack with black biker shorts (hit the same length on my legs as it did on her), and these ugly saucony white/black/blue sneakers (this homegirl is old, and needs shoes with support- don't judge)... and LOLOLOLOL it looked awful on me!!! My roommate and I most definitely shared some laughs over that ensemble. It literally looked liked I went from the office, straight to a mountain bike ride, and somehow ended up at happy hour. It was just all kinds of crazy. Respect to Kylie for pulling that madness off, and making it look 100. 

In my version, I changed up the biker shorts for dark wash jean shorts. I changed the sneakers to nude  heels. I wish my fanny pack was cooler, but I was pressed for time, and so I ordered this one from amazon prime. 

 **A little side note on fanny packs. Lol I am sooooo happy they are making a come back. This ish is beyond comfortable, and makes life 100x easier. Now I can use BOTH my arms to dance, drink, text, and basically be my wild, crazy self. Not to mention, I am not going to lose anything (I can be notoriously absent minded) because it is freaking attached to me. I am team fanny pack**

 Overall, I thought the outfit worked pretty well! It was comfortable, and perfect for Southern California evenings (cool but not cold). I would NOT recommend this outfit for dancing. It was kinda of stiff to move around in, and I got pretty hot in the blazer, but I think it is the perfect outfit for grabbing some drinks or dinner!!



  Outfit Details:
1. Blazer- Calvin Klein (on sale at Macys for $30)
2. Shorts- Banana Republic (on sale for $17)
3. Fanny pack- Amazon ($12)
4. Shoes- Payless (On sale for $15)

I am so glad, I ventured out of my comfort zone, and tried this ensemble! It was fun mixing up my style and experimenting with a different look, and I definitely feel more inspired to venture of my comfort zone in the future :)

RUTGERS baby!!!!

Image
It's been a crazy four years, but today marks the official end of my undergraduate career. How can I sum my time at Rutgers in a blog post? Totally impossible. But I can say this... there is not a thing I would change. I have quite literally grown up with Rutgers. The things I have learned, the people I have met, the mistakes i have made, and my achievements all shape the woman I am today. I remember my first day at Rutgers... the nervousness, the excitement, and mostly the happiness. Funny thing is I graduate with those same feelings. I am nervous and excited for this new stage of my life, but I am also thrilled. I can not even begin to explain how I felt today. I came home and waiting for me was my first medical school book that arrived in the mail. I was considering going out tonight, but instead I began looking through the book. My dreams are becoming a reality. My future feels bright, optimistic, and rewarding! I am flying high, and the sky is the limit! But before I embark on...

Direction

The roads of our lives come with no maps. No signs to tell us when to yield, when to stop, or when to go. Streets, alleys, and highways are forged as we drive along. There are crossroads, and choices to be made. There are u-turns, and detours. Sometimes we take the expressway, and other times the local. Sometimes its sunny, and sometimes it rains. But we keep driving. We keep driving. We drive and we drive, until one day our engine dies. Where did the road lead us? What was our destination? What was our purpose? 21 years. 21 years i have spent on these planet. What have i done? What have I achieved. Why am i here? I am driving, but it is foggy outside. I am trying to defrost, but my efforts are fruitless. Everything you do, everyone you love... what does it matter? Who will remember, and moreover who will care? Most of us drive along paved roads, there are few that create the beaten path. No ones journey is alike, after all we are all unique. But aren't most of our destinations the...

The "Illegal"

Recently, Vishnu and I watched "Illegal", a 2019 drama film directed by Danish Renzu. This powerful movie tells the story of a young man who comes to the US on a student visa to pursue his dream of becoming a film director. However, his journey is far from easy and the story sheds light on the many struggles he encounters along the way. As I watched the film, I was overwhelmed by a sense of melancholy and gratitude.  The melancholy came mostly from my thoughts of my parents, aunts and uncles, in-laws, and other cherished people in my life who had faced similar challenges when they arrived in the United States nearly three decades ago. Although they seldom discuss their experiences, I know that life was incredibly difficult for them back then. Many of my loved ones worked arduous jobs, sometimes multiple jobs simultaneously, just to ensure that there was food on the table. They took on this demanding work despite holding college or graduate-level degrees in India. In their pur...
