Happy Diwali everyone:) May your life be as colourful and shimmering as the lights of Diwali.

Another last-minute mix and match outfit for Diwali. So I was invited for a Diwali dinner and this is what I ended up wearing. A palazzo with a crop top and dupatta. I was so happy with the outcome. 

My friends assumed it as a saree. It is such an easy last-minute outfit which looks so elegant. 

Go dig out your closet to mix and match palazzo and top with dupatta.

I am not the one who owns a lot of ethnic wear. So, I usually end up mixing and matching whatever I have, to create an ethnic look. Today was one of those days. Since I was the one who initiated ethnic wear in the office on Diwali occasion, I had to wear something that looks ethnic.  White kurti and Black Kurthi are something that helps you big time while creating last-minute ethnic outfits. 

After a number of trial and error, I ended up wearing basic white Kurti with a colourful dupatta and pink leggings. Kolapuri sandals and few accessories made it festive. 

I was waiting to sport this bag ever since I got it from Bali. So, I just went for it. I love how this bag goes with both Indian and western outfits.

Happy Diwali everyone:)

Lately, the weather in Bangalore is so pleasant. Finally, I can pull out my sweaters and jackets. 

This mustard sweater is one of my favourites. I always end up wearing this whenever it's chilly outside.  

I wore it with a black and white dress which I stitched. Wearing a sweater underneath the sleeveless dress or over the dress makes the dress wearable to the office and also looks so chic. 

I just wore it with a brown braided belt, brown loafers and a jute bag which I picked up from Bali.  This bag goes with everything and I have been obsessed with it. 

Happy layering...!

I had this full-length dress which I wore a lot and then got bored with it. That's when I realised that the fabric was too colourful to be a full-length dress.  

So, I converted into a circle skirt and I'm so glad I did it...!

I love wearing it now with a basic white shirt. 

I love having colours in my outfit whether its a clothing, bag, footwear or accessories. Maybe that's something that has got to do with me being an Indian. Indian culture is known for its use for vibrant colours. Also, bright colours make your day cheerful.

Paired the skirt and shirt with some basic kholapuri sandals and some street style accessories and I was all happy:)

PS: The pics were taken a month before and I totally forgot to upload. 

I am so glad that I stitched this simple black dress which can be style in so many ways.  I just realised that this is my second post in which I have styled this dress.  

Since this is a spaghetti strap dress, it can not be worn to work. So, wore a jeans shirt on top of the dress and tied it at the ends. As for as accessories are concerned, I wore a chain neckpiece and stacked a few bracelets with my go-to watch. 

I love a little bit of colour in my outfit so carried a pink sling bag and wore silver colour sandals.

Trend alert: Big chains are very much in right now whether its a neck piece, belt, anklet or bracelet.

I remember, as a kid, I was always told not to wear browns and blacks. considering I have a dusky skin tone... well, they were clearly wrong...! So, don’t ever listen to anyone until you try it on... don’t ever give the power to others to make you feel bad about your skin tone or anything for that matter... 

Dusky and happy...! 

I have been loving Bangalore weather lately...! It's so pleasant and I can finally wear jackets and blazers. 

since I got this dress stitched, I have been obsessed with it. But, I always wore it without much styling so I really wanted to try something new with this dress. So, I wore it with a black blazer and a belt. I'm happy with the outcome.  when it comes to accessories, I wore a layered neckpiece, a watch, and black sneakers.

Yep..! I work on Saturdays and my expression says it all. I try my best to dress up on Saturdays so that it will help me cheer up my mood.  So, I wore this black and white dress which I stitched with a basic white button-down shirt. Mixing the basic colors of Indian and western wear makes it look so chic. 

For accessories, I wore a coin neckpiece, a bangle with a watch, a Tangerine bag, and tan color loafers. 

The pop of tangerine is something I love in this outfit. BTW that's a tip: If you are wearing all nude colors carry a colorful bag or wear colorful shoes.
