Its All About Fringing

Fringes are all over the runway this year. Fringe is adorning everything. Right from the jackets, to hanging off the hemlines of pencil skirts (just like the one I am wearing in this post), it's showing up as a print-like embellishment on sweaters, and it's completely covering dresses.  

 Though fringes might seem like a trickier trend to pull off, it works really well on clothing as well as on accessories like handbags and shoes. No matter how pretty they look, in real life fringes can be tricky to pull off. Too much can look like a costume, and too thick can look a bit too boho. So if you don’t do it right it can look a little vague!

I personally take a cue from street style and incorporate it into my wardrobe in the form of a pencil skirt that playfully reveals some skin from the knees down or throw them up causally under my kimono pairing it up with a comfortable camisole and shorts to create that perfect ootd. Fringe-accented tops and accessories are also easy to wear with basic pants.

I would love to see how you guys are keeping up to this prevailing trend. Tag me on Instagram and show me your fringes.

Flannel Love

It’s a mad, plaid world.

Apart from florals, plaid was considered one of the trademark prints of the 90’s. This country girl-inspired pattern is a popular choice nowadays. I can wear plaid all year round. Its one of my favourite prints. Plaid shirts, or flannel shirts as some people call them, are so versatile and can be worn in a million different ways. And don’t forget that they’re comfortable, cozy and usually inexpensive.

Here is my look!

Flannel Shirt: Hues (Bandra); Skater Skirt: Forever21; Sunglasses: Local Kiosk; Nude Wedges: Zara
Bag: Only

I decided to tuck my flannel into a high waist skater skirt as it defines your waist really well, and doesn’t show too much skin. Nude Wedges and classic sunglasses play on the contrast between the preppy, tucked in shirt and the distressed skater. You all know how I love skaters. The reason I love them way too much is because They’re easy to wear, they can be made casual or more dressy and they’re comfortable. Skater skirts are so versatile! I love all of the options they bring along.

I am planning to start blogging about food recipes and fitness from next month. I am so exited to share this new space with you guys.

Reimaging!

Dress: Mango; Floral Trench Coat: Zara; Shes: Zara; Earrings: Vintage

When I talk about reimagining clothes, I'm not even talking about crazy things like using dresses as skirts or altering a garment or anything like that. I'm talking about simple things.  I had such a limited view of a garment that the way I saw it on the rack was the only way I understood I could wear it.  What I learned from my stalking escapade was that I had more control of the clothes than I thought, even without alterations.

 Don't take a garment at face value.  Don't disregard an item because it's too baggy or too long.  Play around with clothes and see if you can make them work for different scenarios. Just like the way I am playing this coat with my casual red dress. These two pieces are so versatile, trust me I can pair both of them in 10 different ways. As you can tell, there are a LOT of options you can use to make a garment work for you.

Also don’t be afraid to wear light and colorful hues, you can a la Blair Waldorf. – pastels are one of fall’s surprising trends so feel free to use a piece or two from your spring and summer wardrobe for your layering needs. Being a girl has its perks and disadvantages. For one, shopping is much more fun because women’s style and fashion is more varied compared to men’s and there are more style, prints, patterns, colors and designs to choose from.

Until then, go play with your clothes!
