A Neutral Saga

Hello Chicas,

Neutral colors continue to dominate the fashion industry after taking over the fall fashion last year. I'm personally all about wearing bright and loud colors so this time I thought of trying something different and challenged myself to create a look with neutral colors.

So, what are neutral colors?

A color can be considered as a neutral on the basis of how effectively it blends into with other colors. Neutral or universal colors comprise of black, white, grey and brown. Different tints of the above mentioned shades is also referred to as neutrals, like, ivory, cream, tan, camel. Although they may sound dull and boring to many of us, but styling them is the easiest job. Also, one cannot ignore the fact that these colors are so versatile, I mean we can just throw a pair of beige shoes on any outfit as they go with almost every color.

Why neutrals?

  • A neutral outfit can be one's go to to look. They literally go with everything and anything. 
  • One can wear them again and again, unlike other outfits in statement colors which cannot be repeated often.
  • Neutrals are versatile as you can wear them a number of times with other neutral as well as bright colors thereby creating multiple looks.
  • Neutrals are always on trend and can be worn all year round.

How to wear neutrals?

  • For someone who is not yet ready to give into this trend, they may experiment with different shades of colors like navy blue or pale pink which are also neutrals.
  • Neutrals build the foundation of our basic wardrobe. Buying basic tees or trousers in tan or military green is the best way to incorporate them in our daily wear.
  • Neutral accessories are the best investment. They go with most of the outfits and helps to achieve a sleek look. Footwear, belts and handbags in neutrals are classic buys and never go out of style.
  • One can also add a pop of color to a neutral outfit. A red blouse with a white skirt or a tamarind tote with an all black ensemble will break the otherwise monotonous look. 
  • Special attention must be given to the fit and shape. As the color is not the major focus here so, naturally the attention diverts to details like fit. An ill-fitted neutral outfit can make one look sluggish.
How did I wear neutrals?

Coming to my outfit, I chose a pleated maxi skirt in olive which has buttoned sides and an attached buckle belt to it. I was pretty happy with the color and the material of the skirt, but something which totally annoys me about maxi skirts from Forever 21 is their length. They are abnormally long, like even after wearing a pair of 5 inch heels. Anyway, being a petite I am used to this situation so got the skirt customized by a local tailor. I have paired the skirt with a peach floral print top which has a round neckline and bell sleeves. The blue floral motifs on it added a pop to the outfit. Accessory wise, I have again opted for neutral colors, a brown tassel sling and a black choker. Finally, a messy braid and coral lips completed the look.

Bohemian Rhapsody

Hello Chicas, 

The soaring high temperature these days makes us all wish to be clad in minimal clothing sans accessories. I came across one such feather like outfit recently while sitting at home with a tub of ice-cream and hunting for summer clothing online. It was a beautiful peasant dress with a delicate paisley detailing along the neckline and sleeves. Peasant dresses are characterized by easy flowing silhouette with a certain folksy element in the form of floral embroidery and dramatic sleeves. It's perfect for people looking for comfort without compromising on the style quotient. Coming to my outfit, the soothing white color of the dress and the airy chiffon material makes it appropriate for summers. This ethereal tunic like dress can also be worn over a pair of denim or leggings. To give the look a bohemian twist, I have added a golden floral head gear, which is nothing but a hair band worn across the forehead. I have never been a big fan of accessories and considering the current weather condition I opted for metallic tattoos, which I feel is such a great alternative to the usual ornaments. A tan fringe bag along with gladiator heels tied up the look together.

Colorful Stripes

Hello Chicas,

Classic stripes with contrasting hues makes a comeback as one of the most wearable trend for spring/summer 2016. When we think stripes, we think of the usual black and white or navy and white combinations, but this season it's all about rainbow color stripes. From linear to zigzag pattern, infused with candy colors, this trend makes such a fun wear for spring/summer. I got hold of this shift dress in green and wine stripes with a self-tie belted waist. The light chiffon material of the dress makes it very comfortable and soothing in this warm weather. I have kept the look casual by accessorizing it with white slip ons and black fringe sling bag. With the sunny days approaching us, I'm stocking up on bright lipsticks and this orange lip crayon from Chambor has become my go to lip color.

Celebrity Style: Deepika Padukone - Tamasha

Hello Chicas,

Today's post is a special one as I'm doing a break-up of the look sported by my style icon and inspiration Deepika Padukone in her upcoming movie Tamasha. I'm a huge fan of Deepika, this women gives me serious style goals! She has come such a long way from a reserved girl next door kinda girl to a bold fashion diva who doesn't shy away from experimenting and trying out new trends. Whether it's a saree or a pant suit, she carries it off with equal elan. 

In the movie, Deepika is seen in a very casual chic look sporting the recent trends, from fringe bags to sneakers in neon shades. The look I have created is from the song Matargasti where she is wearing a sleeveless lip print shirt on a navy blue A-line dress with barely there make-up. I found this shirt few months back on Flipkart and the quirky lip print on it made it an obvious must have in my wardrobe. As it was my first apparel purchase from Flipkart, I was a little skeptical about the quality of the product, but it turned out to be a decent buy and I am quite happy with the fit and material.

Coming to how I recreated Deepika's look from the movie, I have added the lip print shirt on a Cami acid wash dress with a sweetheart neckline which I absolutely adore. To accessorize the outfit, I went for a sleek brown belt along with my tan fringe bag and block heels. Taking cue from Deepika, I parted my hair in the middle and wore it down. Make-up wise I went for kohled eyes and bright red lips to amp up the look.

Boho Chic!

Hello Chicas,

So it's officially fall except in my city where I still have to think twice before heading outdoors to shoot an outfit! With the fashion world embracing fall trends, I present you all my first fall outfit Sheer Damask Kimono. 

As much as I love to dress sharp and chic, I also like to be my free spirited self at times. So in today's OOTD I'm channeling my inner Boho vibe in this enchanting emerald sheer kimono. I love the delicate damask patchwork throughout the kimono and the fringed hem makes it an even more fun wear. Also, I figured out shorter kimonos are way easier to work with on my petite figure as compared to the longer maxi ones. I have teamed it up with an ivory bodycon dress as I didn't want to overdo the outfit, but to make the kimono stand out! 

I have accessorized the outfit with tan wedge heels and some golden black bangles and my fringe tan bag added to the fringe fest. :D Round retro sunnies and ox blood lips tied up the look together. 

A huge thanks to LA Photography for the amazing clicks.

Flower Girl!



Hello Chicas,
How are you all doing? It's been a while since I posted an outfit due to my exams. Post that I took a break doing nothing but chilling at home, watching movies, shopping online. :) Moreover the heat these days has made it impossible to go out and shoot.
As the temperature went down a few days back, I took the opportunity to shoot my first summer outfit. Coming to the OOTD, I wore an extremely light and comfy chiffon tunic. I'm so done with floral print, but this particular sunflower print was a total eye catcher. I wore this tunic as a dress by pairing it underneath with black shorts. The tunic being so light and breezy is one of the best purchase this summer.
I have co-ordinated my bag and shoes by wearing a tan shade. The fringe bag is a recent splurge from Koovs India and it's going to be the most abused bag this season. I didn't add anything else as I hate accessorizing during summers. My round olive sunnies with an orange pout completed the look. Enjoy the pics. :)
