The Overhaul: Nine Looks to Show Your Ex You Have Moved On

Like overhauling, only we make you spend all the money, to make sure the next time you run into your ex, you’re not wearing the linen shirt she got you.
Good ol’ dandy
There’s nothing that says you are over her than dressing like you went over to the other team. Get yourself a Cream and blue dip-dye knit (1), a black skullprint scarf (2), a floral-print shirt and a pair of blue acid wash jeans. Carry a Black and white print t-shirt just in case. (5)

I’ve been trekking
Remember the trek i used to talk about ? i went on it. And I wore Red suede desert boots (1), a Green jacket (2) and Stone pleated chinos (3) because you really can’t trek in jeans - your should try. The denim shirt (4) just takes abuse much better than the cuffed one I wear to work plus every trekker worth his salt needs a backpack (5) my dear.

I don’t give a damn
And that’s why, I’m lugging around a duffel jacket in this heat (1). I’m wearing Navy cotton shorts (2) because I do have the legs for them and yes I will wear a White knit polo shirt with it (3) and i will tuck it in. I got a Khaki multi pocket rucksack (4) and Grey deck shoes while i was at it too.

I’m now dating a college girl
I Started wearing tees like this Blue and white striped tee (1) because I do look good in t-shirts, i threw in a pair of Red washed shorts (2) because all ‘our’ friends wear them and then, I replaced the laptop bag with the Olive green rucksack because everything was getting just too corporate (3) The windcheater (4) and the red, white and blue deck shoes (5) though, were just an impulse buy.

I’ve suddenly taken to drunches
I also moved to mumbai for a while to take yachting lessons and I love Mimosa. This BTW is what I wore to the Kingfisher calendar launch: Grey and white ticking stripe blazer (1), a red and blue canvas belt (2), a Mint green t-shirt (3) over White chino shorts (4). The red cotton chinos though are only for when it gets too cold.

You used to buy my clothes
And without you, i’m wearing acid wash cable knit jumpers (1)and White cotton shorts (2) you can see my chaddies through. I still don’t know whether to wear socks with my loafers (5), but look, i finally bought a belt (3). And now, it’s beginning to rain!!! My wind breaker is my only friend. Shouldn’t have moved to Mumbai.

I’ve been biking to work
And that’s why my jacket looks like this. it was khaki when it started out (2) but nothing beats the wind in the hair high. Denim shirts (3) and Beige washed jumpers (1) work just as well but they get dirty too quickly. I also threw away the horrid laptop bag office gave me and got this Brown leather satchel (4).

Just loitering
I love this blazer (1) and the summer’s aren’t completely here yet are they? I look good? Naah, it’s just something I threw on - plus you always knew i loved nautical stripes (3) and I finally mustered up the courage to wear white denims (4) and Beige canvas espadrilles (5). Don’t remember why I bought the olive shorts though.

I’m on a break
Work was really getting to me, so i decided to go run a lodge up in the hills. It’s a rather cool place you should come by sometime. The striped T-shirt (1) the beige knit cardigan (2) and orange shorts (3)sure beats wearing a suit to work The denim jacket (4) and the lace-up boots though are just work wear.
