Peek-a-boo

Hello Chicas,

The trend of wearing innerwear as outerwear has made a comeback and how! A host of celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Rihanna can be seen rocking this trend with their delectable lingerie collection. This fashion trend is not exactly a new phenomenon as stars like Madonna, Beyonce had nailed this style in the past. While we all are guilty of hoarding countless slip dresses last season, the underwear as outerwear trend doesn't limit itself to just these slinky dresses. From bralettes to lacey camisoles, the fashion world counts them as a legitimate outdoor wear. I personally found this whole concept of wearing something as intimate as lingerie in the broad daylight bold and empowering. However, pulling off this trend is not an easy job. Newbies might find it intimidating to show off lingerie in public. So one can start off with a little peek-a-boo look by giving a glimpse of a lacey camisole or a bra worn underneath.

In today's post I'll be sharing part 1 of the underwear as outerwear series with you all and I promise to return with a few more posts on how to wear this trend. Coming to my outfit, I have chosen a black faux leather bralette to start off with this trend. I have worn the bralette over a white shirt and paired it with a checked mustard yellow pleated skirt. This has to be the easiest way to wear this trend without revealing much. For accessorizing my outfit, I opted for a white studded purse with tassel detailing and knee high socks with combat boots to battle the winter chill.

Camo Crushing

Hello Chicas,

I have been a big fan of camouflage print since my childhood days and have always had something or the other in this military inspired print. Whether for fashion or function, camo has never been out of style. Just like polka dots or stripes, camo remains to be a wardrobe classic however, this season the print is hotter than ever with celebrities and designer popularizing it. The classic olive green has to be my personal favorite which is perfect for the fall weather. Many people find it difficult to pull off this print as it looks very tough and masculine, however the trick to work this trend lies in wearing it in moderation.

Following are some of the few ways to wear this print like a pro:
  • Do not wear camo print head to toe. Stick to only one camo piece at a time to make a statement.
  • You can either wear camo with colors like black, white and other neutrals or add pastel shades to soften the look.
  • Accessorize your outfit well with golden or silver jewelry to keep the look on the feminine side.
  • Lastly, go for a well-fitted camo piece. If the camo jacket is an oversize one, balance it out with a fitted dress or tee underneath.
Coming to my outfit, I am wearing a camouflage jacket in the classic olive green version. I fell in love with this jacket the moment I saw it. The patchwork detailing adds an element of fun to this otherwise rough and tough jacket. I have worn this jacket over a graphic bodycon dress. Again, the "No thanks" slogan goes pretty well with the bad-ass army look. The soft pastel pink color of the dress lends a feminine touch to the look. I have further accessorized the outfit with combat boots and layered chokers in black. Lastly, oxblood lips and round sunglasses completed the tough-girl look.
