Much like many qualitative and abstract things in life, there are certain fashion trends that seem to grow on you. You know that one song you didn’t like in the beginning but its eventual replays made you love it, similarly there are certain pieces in our closets that make you cringe and ask yourself, “Do I really own this”, albeit you cannot stop styling it in your head and working out occasions where you can possibly wear them. That has pretty much been the case with these trousers. I received these in December last year courtesy Front Row Shop, and they have experienced some massive dressing room sessions. From crisp monotones to acidic neons, from subtle prints to bright ombres they’ve been introduced to many possible combinations, before they clicked well with the good lord denim.

The metallic trend’s got a whole new motto for Spring 2014 with designers (love this and this) pedaling up mirror metallic and iridescent fabrics. Once reserved for accessories and jewellery alone, this space-age inspired, playful candy-wrapper foil trend prompts a fresh sense of escapism to the always colourful spring season.

With the pants finally out of the dressing room, I can’t wait to style them with simple button-down shirts, crop tops and ethereal white kurtas. If you’ve been considering, picking up on this trend but doubted its wearability, I suggest dive in unabashed. Keep your look simple complimenting it with minimal make-up and fuss free hair and trust me it’s the shine you’ll never regret!

Denim On Denim

 

 

Well..I shall be keeping this post short and crisp. That's because the more I communicate the closer I feel I will be to fall off the EDGE. Edge (read jitters) in terms of posting this outfit. The last I was this nervous anxious was when my High School (Standard 12, Boards) result was to be declared. For all those who wish to say "Ohhhh cmon the outfit looks perfect/good/fine" I'll like to tell you all that when I tried this outfit it looked good. When I wore this outfit it looked good. When I saw people noticing this outfit I was sure it looked good. And when I saw this outfit in pictures, I thought all throughout I looked stumpy. 

My blogger instinct says, "Girl you have a reputation to maintain."  All instincts other than those of keeping up that "status" say, "Make mistakes and get better!!"

P.S If you might as well wonder, I topped my High School!!

Wearing:

 JEANS - LYCRA

DENIM SHIRT - RALPH LAUREN

The Denim Trick

Hey there my beautiful people!!

How are you all? I hope life is at its best for all of you. All is great at my side too (Thank You for asking :)), except the terrible weather from which there isn't a run-out. I did mention to you all that I love rains but all is well until it JUST rains. What follows after that for me is best described as a HAIR DISASTER. If you haven't guessed it yet, I am talking of THE HUMIDITY. I read and read and read (and try) so many style tips/products to keep my hair under control in this season, but they seem to have become senseless to my plea or actions. Aaarrggghhhh..
I am lucky to have the typical straight hair, but in this very weather they get possessed. I had a little encounter today, when a neighbour of mine remarked, " Ohhh have you gone thinner or are you looking thin just because your hair are all pinned up?" All I did was give her a polite smile and say "Maybe" but in my mind I yelled like Monica from F.R.I.E.N.D.S, "It's the HUMIDITY."
If you lovelies have any answers or are facing a similar situation please do let me know :):)
This makes me also know one thing of life...I'LL NEVER BUY A HOUSE NEXT TO THE BEACH...VACATIONS MANAGEABLE!!

Coming over to my outfit for the post. We all know that Fashion in the Summer of 2011 saw a denim makeover. I did try incorporating a few elements of denim in one of my previous post's. Denim extended beyond the regular jeans and found place in dresses, shirts, blazers et all. In this very post, I try and do DENIM SHIRTS. I didn't play adventurous and teamed them with khaki Capris...after all nothing beats the magical blue and khaki combo.

Here's what I wore:

 As you are observing, this is a very basic look. A super comfortable pair of Capris teamed with a shirt/T-shirt and loafers..and you are ready to go!! I felt that this look also got in the effortless Spring/Summer 2011 trend of ANDROGYNY.  Since, the outfit seemed 'boyish' I added feminine accessories to it. After all, its femininity summed with masculinity which best describes Androgyny. (That rhymes isn't :P)

In order to keep the tone neutral, I accessorized with a stack of gold bangles, hoops and wore leopard print loafers.

Wearing:

• Denim Shirt also called Chambray Shirt: Ralph Lauren
• Khaki Capris: Mango
• Loafers: Atmosphere
• Hoops: Aldo
• Belt and Bangles: Thrifted

Remember me in Khaki?

How to wear the classic Denim Button-down Shirt? Some ideas..

1. The denim on denim look works great, but make sure that the washes are different.

2. Denim shirts can be thrown over floral dresses or maxis. It really doesn't get better!!

3. To wear it formally, team it up with a blazer in Black or Navy-Blue.

4. To be super casual, the denim shirt can be worn open over a basic white tank and jeans

5. Camel/Tan accessories work best when wearing Denim.

6. Donnig the androgynous denim look is cool but do not over-do it. Know where to halt :p

7. Always remember to add a hint of femininity.

I hope you enjoyed today's post :)
