Not-so-basic, Basics!

Hello Chicas,

When it comes to closet staples like blue jeans and a white tee, being basic isn't a bad thing. After all what could we have possibly done had every single piece of clothing in our closet been a show-stopper. Basic items of clothing gives us an opportunity to wear them a hundred times in various ways. Lately, I have started incorporating a lot of basic clothing in my wardrobe as not only the current weather demands so but also they are so versatile.

There's something about summers that makes the white tee a wardrobe essential. Whether it's for pairing it up with a loud statement bottoms or going casual with basic overalls, this incredible staple piece creates possibility of putting together innumerable different look.

Coming to my outfit, I have paired a slouchy white tee with a star print denim. I recently bought this pair of boyfriend jeans from Boohoo and I'm already in love with it. To elevate the look, I have added a charcoal grey bralette. Bralette is one of the hottest trend this season and so is the subtly exposed bra look. As the tee was a little slouchy, I have worn it in a one shoulder fashion in order to give a sneak peek to the bralette. For accessorizing the look, I have opted for a black sling bag and open toed block heels in the same color.

Wardrobe Recycle

Hello Chicas,

"A wardrobe full of clothes, but nothing to wear." How many of you can relate to this feeling? Like any of you, even I face this situation while heading out. We all have this irrational fear of repeating outfits. And more so due to the latest trend of documenting every look on the various social media channels. However, we need to put it out there that repeating an outfit is no crime and yes, you will certainly not be hunted down by the fashion police if found wearing that same red dress. All you need is a little recycling and mis-matching to turn your age old outfit into a new one.

So, recently while planning for an event I literally turned my wardrobe upside down to find something new to wear and I got my hands on this lace skirt. Having worn it once before I was skeptical about wearing it again. However, while trying it out I figured another way of wearing it which is as a tube dress. To add some twist to the plain jane dress, I added pompom balls to its hem line. These little colorful balls of happiness are such a mood lifter. They have the power to brighten any look and one just cannot ignore them. Earlier I had made a diy pompom shoe which turned out pretty good and therefore I thought of using them on an outfit. These pompom balls can be easily bought from local fabric stores. Online shopping portals like Amazon and Flipkart also sells packs of multi color pompom balls, but they are charging an exorbitant price for it so I would suggest you to get it from a local shop. Now the only thing you need is to sew them on to your outfit or accessories, I somehow managed it myself but you can take the help of a tailor. And, ta-da you have your very own pompom dress ready.

I have given this outfit a bohemian look by pairing it up with a kimono. This paisley print kimono is my current favorite as it literally goes with everything in my closet. For accessorizing the outfit, I went for layered silver necklaces and some golden bangles. A tan sling bag and tie up heels completed the look.

Peppy Palazzos

Hello Chicas,

Come summers and we all look for clothes which are comfortable without compromising on the style quotient. One such pleasant wardrobe staple piece is palazzo pants. The relaxed silhouette from top to bottom makes ample room to move around freely. The best part about them is they compliment all body types by making a slim figure look fuller whereas a curvy shaped body leaner. The key to styling them successfully is balancing proportions. People with petite frames can opt for high waist palazzo pants, which would further elongate their legs while taller ladies can add a kurta for an Indo-Western fusion.

Coming to my outfit, I am wearing a rust orange palazzo with micro pleats on it. I have paired it up with a white cold shoulder top with bell sleeves. Accessory-wise, I have opted for an oxidized silver choker necklace. To compliment the warm earthy tones of the outfit, I have added a tan fringe bag and blush pink pumps. A floppy hat to shun away the harsh sun rays completed the look.

Monochrome Loving

Hello Chicas,

Monochrome is having a fashion moment as the sixties trends hit the runways. I am all about playing with bright colors, but I do own a few staple black and white pieces in my closet. The simplicity of monochrome makes it a timeless classic and one can always find new ways to style them.

The look I'm sporting today is a white shift dress with a ribbed pattern. I usually buy off whites and creams, but this dress has to be the whitest white I have in my wardrobe. The polo neckline and the ribbed knit texture kept me warm enough in the last few retreating winter days. As the dress was very basic, I have layered it with a sleeveless mesh jacket in black. To break the monotony of black and white, I went for colorful accessories except for the white slip ons. I have added a blue reflective sunnies and a light pink studded sling to pep up the look.
