Happiness In All Small Things : Oxblood and Cobalt

                                                                          

                                                                               

                                                                             

                                                                             

                                                                                   

Wishing all the readers a Merry Christmas. Lots of love, regard and warmest wishes to each one of you.

Yayyee...you see me! The best thing about fashion is that it helps you fall in love with the latest and re-visited trends, patterns and colors every season. And if by now you haven't embraced burgundy (distant cousin : maroon, christened : oxblood) in its complete royalty and luxe, you are living in the past my friend. Ever since the Fall/Winter runways, magazine issues, journals and the blogosphere declared oxblood as THE color, I have been stocking up on the same, getting together the pieces I own to adorn this shade to its fullest. I was stuck between a one.color.tone look and contrasts and if you have been following me long enough, the pick didn't surprise for sure. I wore this oxblood kurta with delicate Kashmiri embroidery tucked into my forever love cobalt and voila! Plus, what ideal way to make room for self cheer on a shuddering winter morning than wearing color. Happiness, as they say, indeed lies in all small things.

The Drama : Mint and Sheer

                                                                                

                                                                             

                                                                                  

Sheer has always fascinated me. As a kid, I remember picking and preferring tops and blouses in chiffons' and georgettes'. Subconsciously I indeed am drawn to the mountain and chateau romances associated with these fabrics, but what majorly draws me towards them is the fact that sheer let's you add on to the drama keeping intact your femininity. IF worn right, sheer shows that you are a woman and proves that you are a lady. Plus, the fluidity with which these fabrics drape themselves to the body makes me love them all the more.

Summers have been about my obsession for Mint. With a change in the season I definitely am in no mood to bid adieu to this color. I am only excitedly embracing fall with it. Typically, I would have worn a lace top underneath this sheer shirt. But for this time around, I thought of allowing the spunk hiding in the maybe.I.exist little corner of mine come out on the stage and thus decided to wear a cropped tank top.

Mint and spunk...well I am forecasting 'Fall' for you already :) 

Wearing - 

Sheer Blouse - Gifted

Tank Top - Thrifted

Jeans - ZARA

Gladiator Sandals - Local Store (Chandigarh)

Clutch - ASOS

Ring - Forever 21

Cuff and Earrings - Thrifted

On my nails - Lakme Cremes (Shade 421) and China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint

The Highs And Lows : The Mullet

                                                                               

                                                                            

                                                                     

                                                                         

Mullet skirts and dresses were a rage this summer. These mystical, asymmetrical hemlines originated in the Victorian era dresses and gowns, and have been in trend since then - disappearing and then resurfacing with a vengeance at regular intervals. I personally had been crushing this trend but couldn't make up my mind as to what I should buy - a skirt or a dress. Adding to the woes was the summer fashion bell called the maxi. Hence, I decided to knock open a concoction of the three. And voila! As charming as the silhouette of a mullet is, it sure is enough to take you back to the Victorian era...and trust you me, a sweap of the fabric is enough to bring in those airs of royalty. So if like me, you too had been smitten by this trend - the fishtail's little party in the front and business at the back is your way to go!

Now, as I mentioned on my page there's is a quick D.I.Y to follow this post. If you haven't guessed it already, its my earrings. Attach or hook up two pairs in the form of a single earring. Wear it as a statement piece and add on to the drama...what say ladies??   

Wearing - 

Dress - TrimmingsAndLace

Belt - Thrifted

Sandals - Venus Steps (Delhi)

Earrings and Bangle - Mom's
