So this is the new 'item number' I have been obsessed with for months. What does it mean? Don't even ask! It means nothing. That's the beauty of our item numbers. They do not really have to mean anything. They just have to be catchy with some ethnic beats and killer moves. I have previously explained our country's obsession with item numbers here.
So what does the outfit has to do with the song? Again, nothing. That's the beauty of having your own blog, you can connect two unrelated things, just 'coz you want to! You see?
Though in the survey back in May, a couple of people asked for my take on Indo-Western outfits. This is would be one of the many I have already posted on the blog. Just for the new readers, here is the list of my previous posts inspired via Hindi Songs!

That skirt is so beautiful!
love it...you look gorgeous...
and sheila ki jawani is still my fav. item song:)
These item nos are killing me now. every months we get a new item no with crap words. Initially listening munni badnaam.. and sheila ki jawani was good but i am completely over from them.
You look gorgeous in the pics. love the skirt, top and of-course heels.
Lovely, colorful, cheerful outfit. Am loving the whole look!!!
Last week for your chance to win the Lace Belt Giveaway
I love it even more when the Indian outfits could be twisted to a more western wear :)
I really like this skirt of yours! you wear it in such different ways everytime. Like much. I find this song so unrelated at every level that it becomes amusing then :)
Looking lovely! I love the skirt! And why would you want to give away such a fabulous tunic? Oh well... Good for the person buying it!
Jalebi bai is my current craze too... 'coz it makes no sense at all!
That is such an incredibly stylish outfit, Tanvi. Love the colour clash. x
the shoes are divine
That skirt is so pretty!!!
Missed Dhoom, but the 2nd movies on this weekend - will check out the actor! ;)

Listen to "You are my chicken fry" from Ragini MMS. I love the shoes and the skirt!
This jalebi bai song is not that good, Shiela and Munni are much better.
This is such a pretty outfit. Love the skirt. I need to embrace maxi skirts more!
Just adore your dress!

This is a lovely combination, Tanvi. Somehow I can't access the video, so I just believe what you say :)
What a beautiful memory of your grandma. She sounds special, and so does your relationship. X

having lost my father recently, i really could not offer you any words, im still too vacant and hurt inside!!..however, i can understand what u must be going thru.
on the outfit side, the skirt s beautiful, i wish i had the body to carry off long skirts as i really love those long skirts of fabindia, but due to my short height, i look like a circus tent(thats what my family says so and i feel too!!
Lovely outfit! And i love your blog! xoxo
You are so beautiful! This outfit looks like it was MADE for you! I love the pops of yellow. It is so great to hear some other culture aspects of your life as well. Keep 'em comin!
GORGEOUS SHOES !

Another perfect outfit! Love the mix prints that you are so perfect at always mastering:) xoxo
I have not been on blogger this weekend, so I did not catch your last post until now.
I'm very sorry about your sweet grandmother. Your family is in my thoughts as you deal with this sad loss.
As for this outfit, you look beautiful. I love the skirt!
I am deeply sorry to hear about your grandmother. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
You look stunning!

Item songs!! I've always loved your take on them! :)
I like your skirt........& of course, your shoes!!! :))
this song does have a pretty cool beat. love your shoes!
You look so yummy!And the result has been far better than the inspiration itself!I saw the video and it was so tacky!But you do polka dots and prints and bright colors and this whole 'item song' inspiration thing so well!
I love this mix of prints, Tanvi! The colors are all so bold and look great together!
The tunic is gorgeous. And so are the shoes. Love the shoes!

beautiful outfit. i love the second shot.
I like the skirt and pumps.
the problem with our item nos i that they are good to listen, but horrible to watch.
the skirt is so beautiful..i love Mallika Serawat!

you look so stunning dear- the prints here, especially the skirt are just divine! xxx
I really love the high energy and dancing in Bollywood movies. And she moves so beautifully. Great styling in your post today. Xxxx
Ah an yes it is very much the luck of the draw weather wise here sadly....strangely it always appears to clear up at night! Xxxx
I have listened to this song on repeat 5 times now. I am officially obsessed.

I just read your post about your grandmother, sweetie. It's such a wonderful post and tribute to the wonderful woman she was. Thanks for sharing so openly.
Oh a much lighter note, I'm obsessed with this song!!! Can't stop listening to it and of course I'm loving your skirt and tunic. You look gorgeous! xoxo
Beautiful. I love the shoes so much!
Wow! You look adorable in all the prints and the sheer blouse. I am sorry about your Grandma. I only have one left myself, and I know it's gonna be hard to lose her...
im very sorry for your loss, sending you hugs! xx
the skirt is so beautiful!
To folks who haven't seen an item number it must be puzzling! I get asked why all Bollywood movies are musicals??
Your version of Bollywood fashion is spot on. In fact it all looks very good together.
I adore your outfit! thanks for posting that video so fun...i would not have found it otherwise.
Fantastic colors! Very beautiful dress!
This outfit is really cute. I really like it when you have your hair up as well...
I adore your earrings I might invest in a pair like those this summer.

Wah wah what colours!!! That skirt is soooo pretty. Sadly item numbers are getting so super lame these days!!!! I haven't even seen the one you've talked about here!! Time to tune into MTV for a change and not just go to VH1 for music!
I always love how you incorporate your Indian heritage into some of your outfits. They are always so colourful. Oh, and don't we all love a bit of bollywood style dancing.

Wow i adore that skirt is wonderful love the colours. And it suits u very well kisses www.preppyfashionist.blogspot.com
I am sorry Tanvi.. but something like this I would see myself only in nightmare. That top is not classy at all. Neck up you still look good :)
I am fond of that song too. infact of all item numbers.
Will refrain from commenting on the Item Numbers. Love your skirt. Fabindia did some cool stuff in the past. Now, it's kind of sad.
Tanvi, I love so many things about this outfit! The colors the textures, and THE SHOES!!! Yippeee!
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother. It is so difficult to go thru that and I hope all the lovely comments lifted your spirits.
So sorry for your loss, always difficult to lose someone you love so much.
I love the top in your outfit and the skirt is so beautiful too.
Love your outfit!
It's so pretty and colorful!

Love the song....but the song is sure weird in an obvious manner! Mallika always chooses such songs.
Love your skirt Tanvi and I love that it's from 2006! One of the outfits I wore this past week is like 11 years old...with a few minor adjustments and changes it's nice to take old pieces and make them new again. And thanks for stopping by the blog while I was away...I am finally playing catch up here!!! xoxo, Naina
Fun shoes! xo style, she wrote
Love the ethnic feel to your outfit, the mix and match of colors, patterns, length of skirt and those shoes....lovely:):)
jalebi bai is also my current favorite.. and you look gorgeous..love the shoes..
Your skirt is aboslutely stunning, particularly the hemline- and the contrast between the bright coloured skirt and the equally bright shoes is just lovely!
xox,

Beautiful skirt! I am totally loving your blog, too.
