Hello there friends, this is me returning after a long, long absence! I believe that, rather horrifyingly, I haven’t posted since mid-October. Life was just crazy busy for a while, but I admit also that I just wasn’t feeling blogging anymore. There was a ton of negativity in my little corner of the blogsophere around the time that I left, from all sorts of sources, and also, even more than that, I honestly found my blog to be kind of boring to read. I hadn’t been inspired to write for a very long time and was just kind of going through the motions. That sort of content wasn’t any fun to write or produce, and not fun to consume either I’d imagine. A nice long break has had me missing an outlet for all my fashion blatherings though, and so consider me returned for now! I probably will only be posting a few times a week, but there is a bunch of stuff that I’m actually excited to talk about, so hopefully you guys will stick around and join me!
This outfit is a little old at this point (from the end of January, when I finally busted out the camera for an outfit picture for the first time in months), but I thought it might be appropriate to share to begin the month of March. Green is one of my favorite accent colors, and one I get even more excited about using this month as St. Patrick’s Day approaches. Expect some more green-laden outfits in the upcoming weeks!

Comment by Usha March 1, 2012 @ 10:40 amYour absence was missed dearly and it is so lovely to have you back Anjali!
thank you for coming back! I only discovered your site in October, and you stopped! I spent a good long time going through your older blogs, getting inspiration from your outfits, looking for items from years past on eBay that looked great on you. So I am very happy to have your inspired comments and photos again.

Comment by respect the shoes March 1, 2012 @ 11:05 amOMG WELCOME BACK! I have missed you and your outfits and musings.
I have this same dress and you have given me some sweet “winterize” and “cold weather spring-ize” ideas from your beautiful ensemble!
Comment by Jesspgh March 1, 2012 @ 11:08 am:) And I have an outfit that was inspired by one of YOUR ensembles coming up, so fair trade!

Comment by Fabulous Florida Mommy March 1, 2012 @ 11:15 amAhhh welcome back! I was just thinking about you and your blog a few days ago, wondering if you’d ever come back! I’m definitely glad to see you posting again!
And I just have to say, I loved all of your posts! Whether or not you thought they were boring or uninspired, I certainly never did. And the outfits you wear all always so beautiful and enjoyable to look at, so thank you! :)
Comment by Laura March 1, 2012 @ 11:15 amAh, hello hello you! And the internet lets out a collective squeal of joy to have you back! I can’t tell you how nice it was to see this post pop-up- I just dropped everything else! screw work!
Your polka-dots and green are bang on for anticipating spring (bah- snowstorm outside- I suppose that’s polka-dotty though…), and I believe those boots may be the most beauteous work of perfection I’ve seen in awhile. sigh. Thanks!
Comment by thatdamngreendress March 1, 2012 @ 11:17 amWelcone back Anjali! It was such a pleasant surprise to see you pop up in my email. Looking splendid too! Not that I thought you wouldn’t. I suffer the same consequences of blogging. Adore the boots!

Comment by tien March 1, 2012 @ 1:18 pmI was thinking of you a few days back … so good to see your post pop up! I was almost getting cynical that may be I unfollowed you without realizing and I now I wouldn’t find you! :)

Comment by Judy March 3, 2012 @ 5:44 pmI’m so happy to see your post. I’ve missed reading your blog. I saw you twice since Oct at the Palo Alto store and once got up the nerve to say hi and ask you to please please blog again. The second time I saw you, I think you bought the Unconditional Oisier dress and the Veiled Alder dress and I can’t wait to see how to wear those. :)

Comment by lori March 4, 2012 @ 10:25 pmI just found your blog recently and I really like it! I’m really glad you are back to put more adorable outfits together :)
Comment by Ashley March 7, 2012 @ 11:43 amI am so glad you are back! I did a double take when I saw your blog on my blog roll at the top! Yay! I sure know how you feel though. I have been thinking of taking a break too. I am finding that I can’t get so excited about clothes and such right now. I am going to try to press through because I know that is what I “should” do. You were sorely missed!

I’m glad that you are coming back to blogging feeling refreshed and renewed. Your voice is one I have enjoyed reading for its thoughtfulness and practicality.
