How I Styled White Shirt Dress

White and a Shirt Dress, well what not to consider it a classic, white is ethereal and a shirt dress is timeless in every sense…. you could wear it for years and you could wear it for your day to evening look….you can go to work or go shopping….

You can wear a shirt dress anytime, every time….all the time….!!! It is one comfortable piece of garment that is a must- must have in your wardrobe. If you still don’t have one…. My recommendation is to buy one as soon as you can hit shopping mall,  or even press that button to shop online….

I have this basic shirt dress in white that I wear all the time, the fabric is cotton and crumply cotton to me gives it more character of having done some thing substantial while I wearing it….

How could I let the white shirt dress be just that….sometimes its good to leave it at that….but yours truly was in mood to add more characters to my shirt dress story to make it more interesting…..

Here goes….

I have these lovely red coloured velvet Pyjama pants ….yes yes….yes ….you thought just right… I paired my shirt dress with them…. and lo and behold….it transformed into a maxi shirt top….. there is definitely some magic in mixing and matching separates from the different sides of the style spectrum…. and It is too irresistible for me to not try and have fun…..

They matched in their perfect mismatch…..the abstract was coming together… and I a partner in crime that day my dear friend Vishu…. I raided her accessory closet and we found this gorgeous kundan statement neck piece another perfect element to take the story forward.

The wardrobe raid didn’t stop at the necklace the lipstick too pretty to not try…..  well that’s why god made friends …..hahhahhaa….. so that you could write your fashion tales…..with some (things ) borrowed…….

I put my nude Dior sandals on , tied my hair in a top knot and I was ready to have fun…..

…… until next time…… adios……!!!

What I wore at Lakme Fashion Week

Fashion Weeks give you an excuse to go on a major OOTDing spree… I didn’t spare any reason to not do the same, I wouldn’t say I dress loud to call for attention , I like it subtle with a simple statement…..My style is being myself…..always…!!!!

At the  Lakme Fashion Week (Summer Resort 17) , this season was my ode to  Indian textiles and garments . I don’t  really plan as to what I will wear at the Fashion Week, I like to mix and match and wear whatever I am feeling like at the moment that particular day. Then there are some collaborations with designers  who are showcasing. Me being me , I  bring in my styling twist to every garment I wear….. I guess I just love being my own style coach as well….. hahahhahahaaa……so going back to my Outfit Of the Days……

OOTD Day 1 : This definitely was one such day when I just opened my cupboard and stood and picked three random pieces and put together the look. My favourite anti-fit Pants that just fit perfectly ….yeah they do….hahahhaha , hand embroidered bustier and a cotton bomber jacket and I was good to go.  It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes to get you through entire day of walking around  and I chose my very comfortable Printed brogues…..

 

OOTD Day 2 : I played a Muse to one of my favourite saree designers Shailesh Singhania.Front row seat called for a fun styling right. I Decided to give his beautiful Benarsee my own twist, cannot help it you see….. 😉 . My distressed Denims and peasant top became the Petticoat and the Blouse, I draped the gorgeous saree on my jeans….. Just loved his collection on the Runway and cheered on during his his show at the Runway that day. Shoes were again my trusted Rose printed brogues (who says you shouldn’t repeat……) nicely complimenting the Rose weave in the saree…..I finished my look with my round framed sunnies  and a statement neckpiece…..

OOTD Day 3: This day I had 2 outfit changes, cheering for 2 designers. First outfit was a linen dress designed by a dear friend and an upcoming designer Nishank Sainani , I loved how simple the dress was  and a perfect day time wear for a hot day, I styled it with a white shirt and a statement neckpiece. I  added a pop of colour on my lips to compliment the grey . Shoes were my patent leather Monks, again super comfortable to get me through the day….

 

Outfit 2: The second change was this flow(y )linen outfit that could also be worn inside out, by super talented designer Sanchita Jhulka. I have been following her work and her construction of garments is something else. She is a magician when it comes to making garments that can be worn inside out, back to front….. work of art . My twist was to keep my white shirt and statement neck piece on….How did you like how I styled it…!!

OOTD Day 4: Fashion week for me  wouldn’t have been complete without a Ka-Sha outfit,….. right….!!!!! I chose a saree from her collection fresh off the Runway, you have to see the saree to understand what a piece of gorgeousness it was. The frills added to the drama and I had random strangers walking upto me to tell me how beautiful it was. I wore it with a tasselled top from Ka-sha’s new collection and styled the saree unlike a saree , see how I draped the Pallu here. I teamed the saree with my tan  ankle length boots to give an the edgy twist. What do you think….

 

OOTD Day 5: Last season I was muse for the young and spunky Paridhi Jaipuria, needless to say that I fell in love with her less is more design sensibilities.She was showing on the Runway on Day 5 and I was there cheering her on, wearing a very summery shirt dress in silk linen and an interesting flowy element and blue bead detailing designed by her . As Pristine and weather appropriate it was , I styled it with my denims to give it my twist and for fun my blue reflectors and pair of Nude wedges……. how did you like it….
