OOTD: Denim Dress + Floral Necklace

For me a denim dress is a closet staple, and that’s because it’s so easy to dress-up a denim dress. All you need is a fun accessory, like a statement necklace, and voila you’re ready to hit the town.

Talking about denim dresses, I just have two of them, but every time I’m in doubt as to what to wear, I find myself reaching out for one of the two dresses, like I did a couple of weeks back. I had to run a couple of errands and then head to the mall for some shopping, and I did not really have the time to get all ‘dolled-up’. So I just pulled out my denim dress, threw on a floral necklace, stuffed my necessities in my Speedy 30, and I was good to go. That simple!

Here’s a look at how I styled my other denim dress.

What are your closet staples?

How I Organise My Jewellery and Hair Accessories + Tips on Jewellery Organisation

Hi Guys!

A couple of weeks back, I reorganised my (faux) jewellery, hair accessories and other trinkets, and I must say, it made getting dressed-up so much easier (and fun), cause when you know where your accessories are, you can make the best use of them (and in turn dress your best). So today, I’m just going to share with you some tips and tricks on how to organize jewellery, hair accessories etc. 

Now to be honest, I’m not the most organized person, but I try to keep some sort of order so as to make the process of getting dressed a little convenient. And in the video below, you will see how I try to maintain that order. J

Work Wardrobe Essentials: Basic Pieces to Build a Work Wardrobe

Hi Guys!

I am back with another fashion video, and this one is all about the Basic items to Build a Work Wardrobe.

For those of you who don’t know, I work in a law firm where I’m required to wear ‘business casuals’ on weekdays (although I sometimes wear business formals for meetings and black and white court uniform for when I have to go to Court), while on Saturdays, the dress code is ‘smart casuals’. Now I know, my work environment may differ from yours, but I’ve tried to put together a bunch of essentials that would work for a wide range of work settings.

Just hit the play button to find out what exactly those essentials are. J

BTW, I forgot to include a blazer, which is always a must-have in any work-wardrobe. If you’re starting out, I’d just you pick up a black blazer, only because it works with anything and everything (later you can add gray, navy etc. to your collection).

Working Weekend Outfit: Chambray Shirt, Maroon Pants and Statement Necklace

Okay so before we proceed further with my Travelogue, I thought I would just do a quick OOTD post. I wore this outfit to work last Saturday (casual Saturdays anyone?).

Gray Tee, Maroon Pants and Beige Blazer- Not-So-Casual Sunday Outfit

If you have been reading along for some time, you would know that I love a good bargain, and the thrill of finding gold in the dust makes me visit flea markets more often than not. Now you can have a glimpse of my Top Five Steals from Delhi Flea Markets here. I would greatly appreciate your feedback on the same.

Coral Pants, Polka Dot Sweater and Stone Necklace- Sunday Outfit

I have been suffering from cold and cough, and dressing-up when you feel like bleah is a little tough!

However, since it was the last weekend before Diwali (well there’s Saturday but then that day is booked for visiting family na) my poor health couldn’t keep us from shopping for our house. There were so many things to pick up, so many lists to make- a little tedious but fun nonetheless. I think we did quite a good job at s up our house to welcome Diwali (maybe I’ll do a home décor post on the same).

Now coming on to the outfit, since I wasn’t feeling too great, I wore my coral pants with a polka-dot sweater-ish top. These coral pants always cheer-up my mood. Although they appear sort of pink in the photo, they are actually a vibrant shade of coral. I chose the full-sleeves top because I was feeling cold and the knit fabric was just what I needed to keep myself warm. For footwear I had my studded flats on, since I knew we would have to walk a lot (shopping). And I carried my brown bag so I could stuff the mall knick-knacks in it. To make the outfit a little more ‘put-together’ and interesting, I wore a coral and maroon stone necklace. If you follow me on Instagram, you would know I wore my floral pants on Saturday (Saturday outfit post coming up soon).

A little secret here- I usually pair these coral pants with a neutral top and add this necklace, and the outfit instantly looks put-together. J

I have gotten a lot of use out of these coral pants and I absolutely love them. You can see all the times I have worn these pants here, here, here, here and here.

Sweater Top: Mango

Coral Pants: Marks & Spencer

Bag: Gifted

Studded Flats: Bata

Tunic, Skinnies and Necklace:Work Outfit

I wore this satin tunic to work sometime last week. I really like the rich fabric and although the tunic is not strictly formal, the richness of the fabric makes the outfit look polished. I usually pair up this tunic with leggings for a relaxed look, but since I was getting dressed for work, I substituted the leggings for skinny pants. And as much as I’d have liked to wear my black pumps, I just opted for my silver flats. I think it looked nice with all the silver in the tunic. I gave the finishing touch to this outfit by adding this beautiful gold/white/glass necklace. The best part about this necklace is that it goes with a lot of clothes in my wardrobe.

Tunic: Export House

Skinnies: Mango

Bag: Gifted

Necklace: Forever 21

Silver Flats: Gifted

Green and Black with a Pop of Pink: Work Outfit

Now anyone who’s read my blog even once would know that I have a thing for florals! I do! And it had been a while since I had worn florals to work. So this week I paired up this green floral top (also worn here)

with my basic black trousers for work. The floral print is quite subtle and I think that’s what makes the top kind of work appropriate. I added a dash of bright pink in the form of a pink camisole. Since the top has got little pink flowers, the pink camisole bookended the florals rather well. For footwear, I went ahead and wore my silver flats I know black pumps would have made the outfit more office-ish but I was in the mood for metallic flats. And since I was in no mood to switch bags, I carried my beautiful tan bag. I think I will do a post on this bag- why I love it so much!

Also, please do not miss the gorgeous necklace- it’s got gold and off-white stones and some glasswork. Lovely I say! J I also incorporated some sparkle in the form of my rose-gold watch, sparkly bangles and pearl bracelet.

Maxi Dress: Outfit (of the Night)

If you have been reading this blog for some time, you would know that I am a BIG fan of maxi dresses (proof of my love for maxi dresses can be seen here and here). Really, they are super-comfortable and they hide all the (supposed) flaws. Isn’t that a win-win situation?! On days when I have to go to some place nice (read a place that demands you dress-up rather well), and when I’m not in the mood to put in a ton of effort in to dressing-up, I just throw on a maxi dress and some statement jewellery.

So on Friday night when my husband and I decided to head out for dinner and drinks, I chose to wear this gorgeous black maxi dress. This is the first time I have worn it. Not much to say apart from the fact that it’s pretty much a classic piece of clothing- plain black maxi with a gorgeous bejeweled neckline. I added a beautiful pearl necklace because I think pearls look exceptionally good with black. I would like to think that this necklace is a ‘statement necklace’ cause you do not need any other accessory once you have this necklace on. What do you think? For footwear I had my black pumps on and I carried my lipstick and other non-essentials in the studded black bag. I was pleasantly happy with this outfit.
