Audrey Hepburn probably said aloud a notion that's unconsciously and consciously existed in the world, atleast in the female part of it. "I believe in pink" - an expression that has been acknowledged, accepted and endorsed timelessly and how. I believe in pink because pink is delicate and symbolizes sweetness, playfulness, tenderness, cotton candies, bubble gums and babies. I believe in pink because its a universal colour of love - of oneself and of others. I believe in pink because it represents friendship, affection, compassion and contentment. But most importantly, I believe in pink because it symbolizes strength, patience, endurance, survival and victory. Embracing the winter sun and deeper berry hues, my outfit for this very post is a little tribute to the power of pink.

I am also very excited to be sharing this with my Chandigarh readers.

Neon-O-Matic : Acid Orange and Grey's

                                                                              

                                                                           

                                                                        

                                                                       

                                                                           

                                                                           

                                                                                 

Elle describes wearing neon as the style equivalent of texting in all-Caps. Neon is the one trend that doesn’t seem to be on its way out, but you can’t blame any for loving it. Neon has its elements of risqué but when worn right the powerful punch of neons cannot be missed. Just like a red lipstick, a shade in neon – be that hot pink, acid yellow or a vibrant orange complements all skin tones.

An all neon look calls for a rave blast, but I personally loved how its mash-up with pastels and monotones was presented on the Spring/Summer 2013 runways. Hence, the minimalism and slate grey finish of this dress made it an instant grab. To add in the pastels, I carried this mint clutch (from here) and finished off with mint nails, something I haven’t gotten over since last year (Check!). Further, neon’s foray into leather makes it a perfect addition into the Fall wardrobe.

On another note, with “orange being the new black” and taking the New York Fashion Week Spring 2014 collections by storm, I can’t wait to add more of it into my wardrobe and up on the blog. These being my favourites (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

I hope you liked the look. Many thanks for the wonderful wonderful response on The TrimmingsAndLace Collection. The collection would be updated soon so stay tuned.

Talking Obsessions : Mint

                                                                                 

                                                                       

                                                                               

                                                           

                                                                         

                                                           

Do you agree that colour fixation obsession exists? If you have been a TrimmingsAndLace regular you should be able to answer that for me. For those of us who've met recently, let me answer that for you. MINT - This flirty shade of green and turquoise broke the shackles of outdated, blasé bathroom tiles and witnessed a rip-roaring resurgence last year. The blog saw me embracing the colour in full power and sharing style ideas to wear it with aplomb here. This cool shade is soft and neutral, but still the perfect sweet staple to have in your wardrobe. Taking inspiration from some delectable macaroons and creamy sorbets I went in for a candy contrast with mint here. For a transition into Fall, I thought of allowing the spunk hiding in the maybe.I.exist little corner of me to come out and take the center stage. I paired mint with a sheer blouse and inaugurated the season's drama here. 

What's next? Well, post this monotone, one-colour look, I am feeling inspired by Monique Lhuillier Fall 2013 runway. Emerald green is the crowned jewel this year and I am loving the idea of pairing the regal shade with cool mint. So, does colour obsession exists? For now, I am taking it as a YES!

The deal with me is that when I go shopping the halo of picking a particular trend or a particular colour floats very bleakly on me. I know this can label me a little unprofessional or careless considering what I do, but more often than not this judgement leaves me happily surprised. That is because I get to savoir a "I picked what's in trend" moment. Case in point these fig jeggings. I went shopping to pick up the much popular and rather common red or hot pink pair. Absence of my size and presence of I.have.to.get.one.today attitude, stumbled me upon this pair. I wasn't happy with my purchase until I skimmed a few fashion magazines to realize that this lush blend of salmon, pastel rose and rich pink was one of 'the colours' for spring. And before you know it...the happy halo was back and bright!! Next on agenda, a semi-professional meeting and an I.have.to.wear.these.today.come.what.may attitude. Hence, a navy teaming and the structured blazer. A subtle stack-up and a floral scarf helped me sober the heaviness the blazer brought to the look. And off I was...

So, what are your views on the look? Also, how do you turn up the chic element of your professional wear??

OK...that question was for my Burgundy pants!! I am having the 'what should I write' kind of feeling today. Colored pants being a massive hit this Spring/Summer...you know that don't you? Fashion penetration?? As in how this trend traveled from the super-luxe to the high ends to like everywhere. Love for the sheer? Not much sheer to make up for this post. Love for 'Mint'? And how this mint bag was lying ignored in my closet. Or for that matter how these Burgundy pants were lying ignored in my closet for a while now? Should I move on to tell you about the weather? Or maybe had I worn this in my business school I would have been laughed at...OK no one did so but maybe fetched some not.so.pleasing glances. You know the atmosphere at business schools don't you? Flats, vintage earrings, favorite cuff...you see that all!! Well, I guess my feeling was right. I am glad I skipped writing about it in merry sentences :)

I am stuck at believing that much like me you too chalk out your outfits before-hand. Indeed, I am someone who would decide on the what, when, where and how of an outfit at least two days before the 'scheduled event.' The very same happened with this outfit too. Except that whenever I tried it, I felt that the skirt was a little too huge for me or just wasn’t the right length. Until, the very I.have.nothing.to.wear moment dawned on me and this was the only tried and tested option available.

On finally wearing it, needless to say I fell in love with Mad Men again and was reminded of the 50’s, when full skirts epitomized fashion undergoing a ‘power’ revolution. What I came to love the most about Midi Skirts is that they are friendly enough to be molded into a classic symbol of femininity (Tip: A low hair bun  would perfectly complement this outfit. However, I choose to do my hair in a sleek pony-tail) as well as perfect to transform you into a retro chick.
