Tribal Prints: Are you in?



As I am trying to recover from a bad sore throat and a sudden emerging asthma problem, making it impossible for me to breathe at night, resulting in many awakenings of my puffy eyed sorry self, I am also facing an inner dilemma of an identity crisis. At times like this, when I am trying to 'hybernate' at home whilst taking care of myself, in the midst of it all, I feel very very much unproductive. And that feeling alone, eats my soul, bullies my mind and creeps into my existence. I want to be better. I want to do so much. And then it occurs to me; this Blog. Oh yes! My getaway to Fashion, my recovery from the mundane household chores I perform each and every day. Yes, blessed I surely am. I love my surroundings and I surely love the people I take care of. But this routine sometimes gets the best of me and I often wonder why I stopped ignoring you Dear Blog?...Why is it that my heart aches and misses you, craves for you - for the written word. Perhaps, it's my intellect calling you out on the basis of Fashion or perhaps my existence needs an affirmative answer to my rambling thoughts for that I feel the need to gather my words on virtual screen. Perhaps...


Well, enough of this melodrama! Aaaahhhh! TRIBAL PRINTS. Yes, let's focus on the subject given. Now, I've always found tribal prints somewhat overbearing and too South American looking, but with just the right touch, you may surprise yourself. I took a glance at the latest Express Fashion Catalog sitting uselessly on my kitchen counter and liked what I saw!

sweater...
