Black and white striped skirt

I'm so excited to share this post with you :)

Hi guys! I'm so happy to be sharing this post with you. I had always wanted a striped skirt. So when Zaful's package came on Monday morning, I knew it was going to be A-okay.

Here's who must wear/own a striped skirt-

1) You love stripes, duh?- I love stripes and my wardrobe doesn't do justice to show that. But, in all fairness; I do tend to pick something which I don't have already. Youtuber Ingrid Nilsen loves stripes and that's when I noticed how much variety there is in a simple black and white tee! Thank You(tuber)

2) You follow 3-shade is bae philosophy- One must wear a maximum of three shades in one's outfit. Have you ever heard of this fashion rule? I have always followed that; even in my color-blocking days. 

Since stripes already have two colors, you can pick the third shade from neutrals like peach and beige to deep tones like maroon or blue. I chose electric blue since the outfit was dual-tone.

3) Solid is boring- I've always loved me some hearts and polka dots on me. On 6 days, I'm mostly print and colors so I have absolutely no qualms in carrying disturbingly concentrated prints or colors. It should look good on me and excite the devil out of me.

4) Body pop- If you feel you're not full from behind or bottom down then horizontal stripes must be worshiped to, every day! On a serious note, vertical stripes make you look taller, horizontal; broader. Logic.

5) Feel like dressin' up- On one of those days when you have practically repeated your closet thrice in a month (weird), striped skirt is one for you. The ratio of people wearing a striped shirt to skirt is as far as Jorah is from Daenerys! 

No kidding. A striped skirt can definitely turn some heads (experienced today at the mall).

Speaking of, did you know women's necks are more flexible than men's? Apparently, if you call a woman from behind, she would turn her neck whereas a man would have to turn his whole body.

Ah! The keeping an eye everywhere. 

But, hey; don't let me decide that for you. You are a better judge of what looks or makes you feel good.

I wore a white chiffon blouse with this polyester black & white striped skirt. This bubble-like appearance made me want to twirl all day. Check out my instagram stories for the dance.

I'm wearing these peep-toe black pumps after so long that I almost couldn't walk in them. Any tips on walking like a pro in these needles? They almost make me want to give up on them and their sisters.

Please help :( I don't want to be a fashion blogger who is forever in bellies or flats. (although, swear by them).

Pair of Apricots

Hello everybody

I saw this movie (for the tenth time now), Baby's Day out in which mommy dearest wears this elegant outfit of 80s and I knew I had to replicate the style some day. Although not entirely, I did manage to pull off one major part- Wide leg pants in Apricot!

Although, in today's world women can wear anything they want; back then, they were judged more of their boldness to wear an item and not the item itself. Today, if we wear a bikini we wouldn't be judged since times are changing. Earlier, adopting something very uncommon was uncalled for and the women daring to do the same were judged supremely. Yet, the same women were appreciated when came in monochrome jumpsuit or suit dresses. It was not about the skin-show but more about the choice of trend you are choosing to display! Yet certain women like Rei Kawakubo, changed the fashion world by merging different trends.

Here are 5 ways to wear wide leg pants if you're short like me :D, followed by my take on part-80s-fashion I'm carrying.

1) White it Right: One is obviously a white look. White gives you a certain charm which automatically makes you look matured & confident. People know not to mess with a lady who can carry white that well! You can keep the rest of the look neutral like I have.

2) Go single: No I don't mean without your man, although no harm right? ;) I have always enjoyed going colorful but there are times when I just don't find the need to go dramatic (or not) and stick to one color. This would definitely make you appear taller as well.

3) Heels: No points for this one. Whether your pants are ankle length or run beyond, peep-toes & pumps, respectively, add a flavor of sexiness to your outfit. Ofcourse, making you taller in the process.

4) Crop-tops: They divide the your torso, making it look lean which in turn makes you look lean. If you don't have that confidence to wear a crop top then you can wear any fitted top. Just make sure it is tucked in. It's an absolute no-no if you wear loose or long tops with it.

5) Print & ruffles: In my previous post I spoke about print-on-print dresses. The utter confusion on your clothes is definitely a plus point if you're short. On the other hand, the less the volume of ruffles, the better it is for you. If the latter is too cute to ignore then make sure they are away from your torso and you'd be fine :)

Feel free to follow or not?, all of the tips since you cannot look good if you're not comfortable with what you're wearing.

Not the Shade of Grey

I recently updated my status to "You focus on Shades-of-Grey, I do on Tinge-of-Red"

Isn't it true? It is so easy for people to say how you don't look 'fine' as per their understanding but so difficult to say one nice thing for once. It's not entirely their fault but ours! Nine people tell us we look fab and we smile and thank them. One says, your nose looks odd and we spend the entire day in front of the mirror with self doubt and loath.

I have decided to be kind to people and pity the ones who have negative to say about me without any genuine concern. :) Just one life; decision to be happy!

Talking about one life and being happy- Look what came in the mail today? These gorgeous bow red bellies. Just what I needed this week! These babies from New Chic, also come in Black & Dutch Blue. Check out the pictures and let me know what you think of this post :*
