Outfit of the day - Blue stripes

Hello peeps! I am back with an outfit post after a long time! My darling Varaa has been taking up so much of my time that I just could not click any pics :-D But at last managed some while she was taking a nap ;-)

This off shoulder blue striped dress is a recent purchase during the August sales. I love the simple and elegant lines of the dress and so decided to keep the whole outfit simple. I paired the dress with a pair of gold earrings and gold heels and that's it. 

Hope you like the styling of this dress. Let me know what you think in the comments!

And with winter fast approaching, have an update on the latest styles in trenchcoats at Stylewe. Check out www.stylewe.com.

Outfit of the Day - Formal to Party

As I mentioned in the previous post, in this post, I converted my formal outfit into party wear by changing some accessories. So in case I need to attend a party straight from office, I am all set!

I removed the jacket and pearl necklace from the formal outfit and instead added silver danglers. I swapped the red purse for a white clutch and changed into silver heels and I was done!

So do you like the dress in its party avatar? Let me know!

Color in Formals - After pregnancy

Hello peeps! While I resumed blogging in March of this year, I have till date been sharing old pics taken during or before pregnancy. This is the first photo shoot after pregnancy and I was so happy to get back to doing OOTDs! :-)

Since Varaa is still quite small, I do not go out much. And when I do go out, it is more about getting Varaa ready and me just grabbing any old thing lying around. So it was a pleasure to again dress up and think about what accessories to wear. 

I wore the shift dress in this post during pregnancy till the seventh month and now it is useful for hiding the post pregnancy fat ;-) For wearing it to the office, I paired it with a cream lace jacket, a pearl necklace and grey pumps. Added a light pink gloss and I was done. And the pop of color from the red purse. Love the elegance that a string of pearls can add to any outfit!

I will also be doing a post on how to convert this outfit into a party outfit if you need to attend a party after office. For now, I hope you like this OOTD. Do let me know in the comments!

Outfit of the day - Gorgeous green

I bought this plain green dress from Forever 21 in the US. And I liked it so much that I bought the same dress in blue colour as well :-D (featured here). While I accessorized the blue dress with a statement necklace, I decided to do something different with the green dress.

The highlight of this outfit is the thick metal belt which breaks up the dress and provides visual appeal. I also added a pair of silver earrings and silver sandals and a white shrug to complete the outfit. Love the contrast of the white against the green!

So what do you think? Do you like this OOTD?

Outfit of the Day - Burgundy (me) and green (hubby)

This Sunday, met up with my group of friends who have featured here before. I will soon be putting up a review of the cafe where we met. I did realize one thing - when we go out to meet friends, hubby is always ready to pose for me ;-)

So this post features both our outfits. I wore the pencil skirt I got from Korea with a black top, a burgundy bag (love the colour of this bag!) and a necklace that I got from my mom. As a kid, I used to see my mom wear this necklace and loved it. Mom gifted it to me last year, and it is one of my all time favorites. Love the mix of pearls with the rubies and diamonds :)

As for hubby, he paired his bright green tee with fawn trousers and brown shoes. I love this tee of his!

So let us know what you think of our outfits!

PS: I generally do not do much make-up. But I went with smoky eyes for this outfit. Do let me know how it looks :)

Me first!!!!

Outfit of the day - Floral fix

Floral prints have been the rage for quite some time now. And I went with the flow when I got this grey floral tee on sale recently. I bought the floral lace jacket at the same time. Love the fit of the jacket! :-)

But what makes this outfit stand out are the lovely floral earrings that I received from the Born pretty store (they are called snowflake earrings). The earrings contain a cluster of six stone studded flowers and would look lovely with a casual or a party look. I paired them with my floral top and jeans, and just the earrings quite glam up the look.

So what do you think? Do you like the earrings? and my OOTD?

Resort Look 2

I put on this outfit to stroll around the resort and just relax. I paired a black and white skirt with a black tee and added a statement necklace for some glam. And given the agenda, I put on some comfortable walking shoes.

The flower behind my ear was a constant companion at the resort. So you will see it in most pics :-p

Hope you this look. Let me know in the comments :-)

Resort Look 1

While at Prakruti Resort, we did get a chance to click a few outfit pics and I plan to share each outfit pic separately with you :-)

For me, heels were a no no most of the time at the resort. Firstly, because of the amount of walking we did, secondly, at the beach, heels would be just impractical. And lastly, I was on vacation and I wanted my comfort! :-D

So in the first look, I wore my colourful Forever 21 dress with gold flats, green button earrings, my favorite purse from Sammydress and a flower. I did try the dress with red flats, but eventually decided that the neutral gold flats looked better with the dress.

Let me know what you think! :-)

Outfit of the Day - Hubby and me

Today I am sharing outfit pics of the dress that I was wearing in the post - fun with friends.

As you might have noticed, I was wearing a hi-low dress with I paired with my beautiful Romwe earrings. Before going to Bandra, I went to meet my mom. She saw my dress and started laughing. She had seen other girls wearing hi-low dresses and found the uneven hemline really funny. She couldn't believe that I was wearing a dress like that!

Well .... I have nothing to say about that :D. I just laughed along with her.. Though she did call me later to say that I looked nice. Aren't moms the sweetest! :-)

PS: after seeing the pics, I realized that the hi-low dress actually makes me look short :(

Outfit of the day - Bodycon

Today's dress is one of my favorites. I bought it from Forever 21 while I was in New York. I love the navy blue colour of the dress and it has a really flattering cut. I have received loads of compliments whenever I have worn this dress :-)

To provide some colour, I added a long green shrug to the dress. And I paired it with my Sammydress purse. This is the cutest purse I have! It can be used as a purse, a clutch or a wristlet (Here I have shown it used as a purse and a clutch). It looks really great with dresses, jeans or trousers. And it has a lot of utility too. I can put in my cell, cash, change and cards. It still looks slim and cute :-) It is of a soft pink colour which goes well with pastels and dark colours. Phew! What more can you ask for from a purse? ;-)

I added a pair of leaf shaped earrings and my comfy nude pumps and I was done!

This is one of the most difficult shoots hubby and I have done. Both of us were just not satisfied with the backgrounds. So we shot at home and outside and I have put up pics from all the different places that we shot :-)

So do you like my OOTD? I hope so :-)

Outfit of the day - Pleats!

I was a bit skeptical when I bought this dress recently since I generally wear dresses with a pencil skirt as such dresses suit me the best. But I fell in love with this dress and decided to buy it.

I wore it to an engagement party and also to see the movie "2 States". And everyone, including my parents, in-laws, niece and friends loved it :-) But would love to know what you think about it!

And the surprising thing is, just after I bought the dress, I read that pleats are the in thing right now! I generally do not follow fashion trends and just wear what I like and feel comfortable in. So it was a lovely surprise to know that pleats are in trend and so are the big pearls :-) I paired the dress with the blue clutch from my recent haul post to provide that pop of colour.

The pics have been taken with the light behind me. As such, my face is in shadow but this shows off the dress beautifully. (all pic courtesy goes to hubby!)

Hope you like the pics and the dress!

PS: Sorry for the overload of pics :-)

Those living in Mumbai would know what October is like. It is sweltering hot! So while most of the Northern hemisphere is welcoming autumn, it is hot and sunny here. And that's the reason for my bright and sunny outfit today :)

Maxi skirts have been in fashion for quite sometime now. And the biggest advantage of maxi skirts for someone as tiny as me is that it makes me look tall. :) I paired my maxi skirt with a fitted tee, a jhola bag and a statement necklace for a stylish look.

Do you like my OOTD?

Outfit of the day - Pop of red

Went to see the Lunchbox today. A lovely movie with an ambiguous ending. It was so nice to see an offbeat movie with no songs (except what the dabbawallas sang ;-)) and no masala.

While the movie is supposed to be set in current times, it gives more a feel of the 1980s, which I loved :)

So this is what I wore to watch the movie. For a pop of colour, I wore my red flats which are extremely comfortable. And how did I manage to get shoes in my size? - these are from the kids section at Lifestyle :-D

Let me know if you like the OOTD!

Outfit of the Day - College times

I guess it is the cheery yellow of the T-shirt which reminded me of college days :) .. and hence the name.

Fridays are casual wear in office and so this is what I wore yesterday.

Belated Happy Birthday!! ......

.... to me!!!!!!!!!! .. Haha .. so you can see how lazy I am since I am late in posting on my own birthday :D

My birthday is on 31st December. Sigh!!! what a nice day to have a birthday right? last day of the year, everyone celebrating ... hmmm .. not exactly. While having a birthday on the last day of the year is exciting, it also means that most of your friends are never available to party that night! They are all busy at different new year parties :) The last time I had all my friends available for a birthday party and for partying all through the night with me was 2004! ... So you can imagine how I feel! Though I do have a darling hubby who is always there with me to make my day and make me feel extra awesome .. hehe.

But whatever said and done, this day does make me feel special (as it would for anyone who has a birthday on any day), but it makes me feel especially special since its the last day of the year. At least no one forgets my birthday! ;)

I believe that the end of a year is always exciting and awesome (of course partly due to the anticipation of gifts at the end of the year ;)). But by end of year, I do not mean just December .. I mean the last 3-4 months of the year. There are so many festivals - Ganesh Chathurti, Navratri, Dusshera, Diwali, Christmas .. wow! Also, the weather, particularly in humid Bombay, starts becoming cool and cozy. All these together make the end of every year very special for me. So this is how I looked at the start of December :D
