Monsoon Affair with Monochrome

Monsoon brings end to scouring heat of summer and the pleasant weather gets under way. There is a positive change in the atmosphere and life becomes beautiful. But, rain doesn't mean going back to the bygones; the change in the weather also demands alteration of your wardrobe. Monsoon fashion has always been associated with light fabric, bright colours, and rain affable clothing. But I always wondered, how would just black and white look during the season?! 

Shades of black and white and the damp weather are not usually synonymous. I always had the intuition that translucent white and perennial black individually might not look admirable, but coupled together the two could look divine if carried out properly during the deluge. The thought compelled me to experiment with monochrome and the end result is what you are going to see in the pictures below.

The simplicity of monochrome makes it a timeless classic and it's a revival to dominate our wardrobes in 2017. Whether it's prints, stripes or colour blocking, working the monochrome look is so easy, like my new look that includes a pair of striped culottes from Pantaloons with polka dot tee from Zara tethered in a crop top!

Well, this culotte style features a voluminous leg that billows out from a clinched waist and ends to 2 inches above the ankle making it a great substitute for pants and denims, saving you from drenching and wet hemlines. There’s also a comfort aspect to them — the flowy polyester fabric makes it just so cool! High waist tie-ups and vertical stripes are my favorite for the season (or just anyway), cause they make me look slimmer and taller respectively, and it's wonderful you see. As for the tee, it's a white cotton piece with black polka dots, with a broad v-neck that I off-pulled from the shoulders and knotted at the end shortening it in length. There’s something chic about those cropped polkas and lengthy stripes right now, that make the look appear apt for a work place and a party right after that, eh?

Accessorizing the look minimalistically, I simply added a black choker to edge up my neck, a finger ring in black stone, a pair silver sterling mesh strap watch with a slim cuff from Daniel Wellington's latest collection to sprinkle some glamour, finishing off the look with a solid white strappy footwear to keep the monochrome theme in running, very proudly from top-to-toe!

From Desk to Dinner in Pastel and Shimmer

Waddup girlies? Freaking out in the heat?

Well, for the first time ever I'm not writing a blog post sitting in my room, but a cafe, sipping some chilled ice tea! Needless to say, summers are quite early but officially here, and I'm trying to play it cool with some pastels this season. Since spring is blooming up as well, I thought of creating a cool pastel look for you all, shot around some soothing greenery and blossoming flowers. Scroll down to take a look at a few pictures and outfit description!

belt : Jabong | necklace : Auhna Creations | sunglasses : Amazon.com


How often do we go out for dinner with friends, or colleagues for that matter? Hardly, but sometimes suddenly. To be honest, I like to dress comfy and keep my looks subtle during the summer months at work. But, if I have to go out in the evening for a sudden dinner, straight from work, I always have a switch mode on!

Like, recently I had to attend an important meeting in the day and had to rush to a dinner party from there itself. With no time to change in between, I opted for a full-sleeved formal shirt and a pair of ankle length leggings to suit the meeting dress code and add a few pieces to it later while rushing for the evening event! The pastel blue, cotton shirt with a lace embroidery on the shoulder and up-front on the chest, paired with black leggings that had sequin lining on the side appeared so elegant in the day as well as hinting the shimmer in the evening, that I thought of teaming the both together. The combo turned out to be really pretty & crisp, well both pieces from my favorite brand StalkBuyLove, had to be it! I secured the bloom of the shirt with a thin belt to give the appearance an edge and structure. Completed my simple look with a pair of white heels that matched the whole attire in the day as well as at night. As for the evening party, I added a gold choker necklace and carried a metallic bag to add the much needed shimmer to my look. And of course the sparkle on the leggings worked out in absolute perfection too! 

Also, let me just take a moment to thank A Crush Story for being really thoughtful and sending me this 'popcorn designer bucket bag', after seeing my Snapchat stories where I updated my love for popcorn on a regular basis. I just love the Garrat popcorn shop bag, its my current favorite bag of the season! The best part about it is its adjustable sling that helps me wear its as a cross body or a shoulder bag or just hold it like a clutch in hand. So sexy, I must say!

Very often working women face these situations of rushing for an evening event directly from their work, having no time to change in between. I would be really glad to know if this post could help any of you reading this and taking outfit inspiration from here. Let me know if it did or not.
