Summer Skirts LookBook || Clothes and Creativity

Summers have announced their arrival and there's not much we can do to escape the heat, apart from planting ourselves in front of the AC or taking a nice little vacation. I'm in favour of the latter though! ;)

Jokes apart, what we can do to make the hot months more bearable is to dress appropriately- make sure that we are wearing easy, breezy clothes in light fabrics and bright colours! And talking about easy-breezy stuff, the one piece of clothing that pops in my mind is a summer skirt! Now I scored a ton of Summer Skirts right at the onset of summers, and honestly you won't believe the price I scored them for. Checkout this Summer Skirt Haul to know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, getting back to the topic, skirts are one of the best options when it comes to 'summer fashion'. They are easy to style and won't leave you sweating like a you know what... :P

So I styled my favourite summer skirts and compiled them into a Lookbook so that you guys might get some summer fashion inspiration. :)

How I Styled My 10 Year Old Skirt

I know I have been far from regular on this blog, and I know that more often than not, I promise to be more regular, but for some reason, I am just not able to keep up with writing about all the fun outfits (IMO) I have been rocking.

However, if you head over to my YouTube Channel, it's a totally different story. I have been posting videos twice, sometimes even thrice a week, and the videos cover everything from fashion to beauty to lifestyle. And incase you are just interested in outfit posts, then you may head to my Instagram, where I post almost everyday!

With that being said, I do want to let you guys know that I will continue to blog, maybe not as regularly as I used to a year back, but you will see outfit posts from me.

Like the one I'm sharing today- it's the perfect outfit for the current weather. I wore it to shopping sometime last week. Now whenever I have to run an errand, or go shopping, I try to dress cute, but even while trying to dress cute, comfort is key! So I chose a simple green top and paired it with a floral chiffon skirt, which, believe it or not, is about 10 years old! Yes, you read it right! And yes, I hold on to my clothes (at least the ones I like) for rather long! Wearing flat footwear was a no-brainer (I'm not the kind who can hop around in heels for long). And to add an element of interest to the outfit, I wore my beaded tassel necklace (which is reminiscent of BaubleBar jewellery). And since it was (and is) rather hot, I wore my hair in a bun. All in all, the outfit was comfortable yet cute! :)

Top: Zara

Skirt: Too old to remember

Sandals: Bata

Necklace: Flea Market

Bag and Earrings: Primark

How I Styled my Houndstooth Cardigan || OOTD || Clothes and Creativity

I wanted to style this gorgeous houndstooth cardigan ever since I bought it, but I only got the opportunity to do so last Sunday! And that’s because the weather in Delhi has been rather unpredictable- some days are bitterly cold, and others, rather warm and sunny.

Anyway, getting back to the outfit, since I find houndstooth print to be quite a statement in itself, and so, I wanted to keep the rest of the outfit pretty neutral. And what better way to ‘do’ neutral than to rock some ‘denim-on-denim’!

OOTD: At the Movies + Sarojini Nagar Haul

If you’ve been reading this blog for some time, you would know that I absolutely love maxi dresses. And another thing that comes close to my liking for maxi dresses is maxi skirt.

Although I do not have a ton of them, I do enjoy wearing the ones that I do have. And this beautiful one that I recently scored from the ever-popular Sarojini Nagar market has quickly become my favourite.

Since the print on the skirt is rather busy, I kept the top simple- basic black tee looked good. I also wore some nice white/gold earrings (another favourite of mine). And since we were going to watch a movie (Bajrangi Bhaijan- in case you’re interested in knowing which one), I did carry a teal cardigan (I get super-cold in the theatre) and a matching bag from Clarks. The top is my sister’s and the skirt, like I said, is from SN. My footwear was a pair of flats from Bata and I also wore my usual rose-gold watch (Tommy Hilfiger).

What I Bought at the Flea Market: Janpath Fashion Haul

I love shopping at flea markets! The whole experience of jostling through vast crowds and digging through piles of clothes to find hidden treasures, and that too at dirt cheap prices is just so enthralling! So everytime I want to give my wardrobe a quick update, without actually breaking the bank, I head to one of the many flea markets Delhi has to offer. And often I come home with bags full of goodies- clothes, accessories, footwear, you name it, and you’ll find it at one these markets.

Now coming to the best part, I happened to visit Janpath (twice, over a period of few weeks) and I was quick to scoop up some really great clothes and accessories. Today I’m going to share with you all my Fashion Finds! Just go ahead and click the play button to see for yourself all the great bargains that I managed to get.

The Yellow Maxi Dress

I need to stop buying clothes! Really! I mean every time I walk by a store or a flea-market, I end up buying something or the other, even though I might have similar items! And on occasions that I do not buy anything, I feel kind of disappointed. I know it’s a bad habit. But how to break it?! I have read that before buying a clothing item, envisioning it being worn several ways or with different items (at least 3) is a good indicator of whether you should buy it or not! But somehow, when something catches my fancy, I just want to have it, irrespective of the fact that I might have similar pieces already!

Now coming on to my latest buy, as some of you (readers) might know, I have been obsessed with maxi dresses since quite some time now (you can find the proof and )! I mean they are like SO comfy and easy to wear. Plus they are kind of dressy. So it was no surprise that when I found this yellow maxi (while taking a stroll with my girlie friend on one of the rather famous street markets in Delhi), I grabbed it immediately! I didn’t bother to check the silhouette or anything else! The fact that it was a maxi in a beautiful shade of yellow was enough to lure me in to buying it. Plus, the price was SO reasonable. So happily I got it home and did not even waste a second trying it on. However, once I wore it, I realised that the cut/silhouette didn’t flatter my body-type much! I mean I love the colour and the fit on the top, but the lower part has a funny cut which makes me look bigger than I actually am. I quickly got myself clicked in it so as to analyse if this maxi is any good (for me at least). I also wore a necklace to get an idea of how it would look accessorized. Haha!

What do you think? Looking forward to your feedback. J

My friend and I also bought some other stuff. Might do a post on that as well!

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
