Floral Dress: Style Score: Outfit of the Day

I can proudly say that I am not a brand-snob. I mean I do have a soft corner for my favourite labels but it’s not like I don’t explore the good, girly stuff at other places. I mean who doesn’t love a good deal right?! And if you happen to find a beautiful, lady-like, feminine, floral dress perfect for lunch with your girls or a romantic date with your boyfriend/husband, the deal transforms from good to great.

So I chanced upon this gorgeous floral dress as I was strolling across one of the famous street markets of Delhi. I saw it hanging at one of the many colourful stalls and it just spoke to me. I mean it literally tugged at me. And at precisely that moment, I knew I had to make it a part of my ever-expanding wardrobe. Now if you’ve been reading my blog for some time now, you’ll know that I am a big fan of florals. Love the print on everything possible- from clothes, to accessories, to upholstery to crockery and so on. So I bought the dress, and at a great price. I mean the dress in my eyes is beautiful, but the price I paid for it just adds more charm to this beauty.

I came back home and I knew I had to try it on. It turned out to be perfect. I quickly got photos clicked so as to share it with all you lovely people. I love the feminine vibe of the dress. Another thing that I like about it is the length- it hits just below the knee and that makes it more versatile than some of the other (short) dresses out there.

Do you shop at street markets? Or do you prefer sticking to your trusted brands? Drop me a comment. J

Happy Independence Day: Outfit of the Day

Hello lovely readers! Wishing you all Happy Independence Day.

One of the reasons I love this day is because well, it’s a holiday (apart from the fact that India attained its independence on this day). So making maximum use of this day, I slept off till (reasonably) late, although I would have liked to sleep a little more. Once I woke up, I had plans of going grocery shopping with my Mum and little sister. I know it doesn’t sound too exciting but I am really kicked about my new-found love for healthy food, and I was excited to pick up some fresh greens for my meal. Apart from veggie shopping, I also bought a Clean and Clear face-wash-cream combo (and topped up my toiletries). Let me know if you would like me to do a review on it. So basically after a couple of hours of intense shopping, we got back home tired. But my tiredness didn’t get in the way of getting photos clicked.

So coming on to today’s outfit, since I didn’t have too much time to get dressed-up, I wore my dark blue skinny jeans with this lovely floral, crochet detail cowl-neck Ann Taylor top (you can see here) that my sister bought recently. She picked it up from an export house for almost 1/20^th the original price (it retails for INR 3800/- or USD 70). What A score! I absolutely love the vibrant colours and the lace/crochet detail. I tucked this lovely top in to my jeans and finished the look with a brown skinny belt. I just carried my phone and i-touch in my brown sling/fringe bag. For footwear I had my comfy silver flats on. To let the crochet/lace detail show, I tied my hair in a bun (also because I was too lazy to try any other hairstyle :P). And I just had my rose-gold watch on along-with a pearl bracelet and some bangles.
