Dungarees 101: How To Rock Dungarees

Hi guys,

Today’s post is quite different, it is not the usual OOTD post, but a post dedicated exclusively to Dungarees. Let me tell all about dungarees, the history, how to dress it up, dress it down.

Starting with the history of dungarees, they have been around since the late 1700’s. Dungarees were worn by farmers, slaves and the likes since they were inexpensive and not prone to easy tear but also carried a stigma of low status for the same reason. Women started wearing them during World Wars coz it was the perfect material for those working in factories. They came back in fashion in the 40’s and 50’s starting with children wear and since then, they have been quite famous and IN and OUT of fashion.

Dungarees are back again in fashion and they come in different types and styles, from shorts to skirts to trousers style, denim style, suspenders, ripped denims, etc. They can be paired in a million ways and can be dressed up or dressed down. Dungarees are easy to wear and super comfortable. See a lot of dungarees here on StalkBuyLove.com

Although they have always mostly been associated with casual style, today I am showing you how I dress up my basic black dungarees for a formal, evening look!

Also we shot this small lookbook 🙂

I am wearing this basic, black trouser style dungarees with a simple white crop top and dressed it up with my trusted black blazer and nude heels. I added a pop of colour with this pastel pink Kate Spade bag. My current favourite wood watch from Jord watches completes this look!

I love the look and feel of the wood watch, they work with both casual and formal wear and look quite unique. Jord watches have free shipping worldwide, they customize the watch for your size and have 1 year warranty. Do check out the site mentioned above to see more of their pieces.

Of course, we can’t forget the casual way when it comes to dungarees. I am wearing this denim skirt dungarees in a fun, casual way with a white cap, the ‘Rose Chic’ rose pink back pack and holographic silver shoes. The white tee has red sequin heart on the elbows 🙂

This is more of a ‘Back to School’ kind of look and it was so much fun shooting this.

The Start – Up Life

Hi guys,

No, I haven’t started any start – up yet :p This post is about the problems faced by start – ups and entrepreneurs all around the world, especially in their day to day life.

Startups get a lot of press. They have to overcome several challenges to taste success. Like they say, “Ek aag ka dariya hai, aur doob ke jaana hai” (You have to swim through fire to get to your destination).

Well, I am not the stero-typical startup founder, hell bent on solving a billion dollar problem or evangelising whatever comes my way. But there is one thing, which overlaps with startups to a large extent – Entrepreneurship from scratch. In fact, rather than the websites or mobile apps they build, it is the rags to riches story which is more important to learn from.

After qualifying as a Chartered Accountant and leaving a cozy job with a private coaching classes, I took the plunge couple of years back to be a full time blogger. Sharing my 0.02$ on the problems I encountered along the way;

a) Aap ki beti karti kya hai?

It is the most difficult thing in the world to explain your Baroda wali masi what “Blogging” is all about. Forget talking about monetisation, sponsored content, social media, followers, etc etc. I have a very convenient solution for this – I am practicing as a Chartered Accountant (This is the bare minimum use of my 5 years of hard work for completing CA)

b) $$$$$$

Ok. So now you have developed a loyal visitor base. Google knows that you know some cool stuff about beauty, makeup, etc. But how do you monetise all of that? Ad sense is going down the drain since quite some time now. And then you start getting these nightmares. Did I screw up by choosing to come out of my comfort zone? Should I go back to the 9 to 5 job and a stable income?

c) Peer pressure

Facebook updates, LinkedIn updates. Someone just got promoted to a manager. Someone has shifted to Dubai. Someone is out on a foreign business trip. Wow. People from my batch are doing awesome in life. They are earning 7 figure salaries. And how much am I earning? Shit. I am not even close. <Panic mode>

And the list goes on and on…..

But at the end of the day, all said & done, Entrepreneurship is the most satisfying thing ever. To quote Liquid guru from Pyar ka Punchnama, “Kutto ka koi Sunday nahi hota, Kutte Har Din Kutte hi hote hai”.

Entrepreneuship gives you the freedom, flexibility & potential, way more than a 16th century Bell Curve policy determined 7% increment and a rigid corporate structure ever will. :p

Here is a fun video that shows some start- up problems made by www.vistaprint.in

As you saw, the CEO himself is the assistant, secretary, peon, etc. all in one. From the lunch buffet and high tea at five star hotels to the vada pav and cutting chai, the transition is very difficult!

Are you a part of the start – up life? What problems do you face daily?

P.S: I am loving the TVF Pitchers and desperately waiting for the final 5th episode which will be live this Sunday, have you seen it yet?
