OOTD

Wearing my blue paisley point coat from Serrahna.

I paired it with a dark mauve long sleeve t that has pale paisley and a beaded strand that has the blues to match.

This is the full image of the point coat.

This outfit is much more old school T2 because it is blended.

Fashion New Year's Resolution

I am so inspired from my recent trip to CA Bay area, and visit to Serrahna, as well as picking up this amazing book on sewing without patterns in an Oakland bookstore, that I decided that in 2014, I am only going to buy handmade clothing or  make clothing myself!  Also, I love clothing reconstruction.

Second Serrahna Jacket and Buff shirt

So I can't wear white and my Color Alliance palette has a buff in it.  

I found a shirt that is almost right, when in CA.  

It's perhaps a little yellow, but it works.

And I loved the red jacket I got at Serrahna so much, 

I went back on the way home and got the blue one too.

 

 

Here's shape of these two jackets.

Serrahna

Women's boutique featuring the Indian influenced designs of Andrea Serrahn. 

The store is amazing and it feels like being  a queen.

Serrahna:  vb, hindi:  to praise, to appreciate, to beautify.

This was the first thing I tried on... Perfect. 

It's recycled sweaters that has been adorned.

This is a coat that came in four colors

 and I wanted them all.

This is a coat but it's blouse material
