Enough has been said about the Classic White Shirt, well sometimes enough is not enough. I cannot get enough of white shirts and my love for having fun styling them is …. I do not even have a word to describe how much fun it is….so let’s just say I love white shirts.

Actually I love the Colour White, Pure, Pristine and Classic always. It looks good in all seasons, white is never too white for winters or too harsh for summers, just a bit high maintenance during rains though, I don’t mind that I guess.

So I have these lovely baggy pants that totally give a very vintage feel, they even have self stripes too. They are high waisted and cinch perfectly on my waist. I paired them with my white shirt from Top Shop. Just for fun I layered my shirt with a black tank from Forever 21 .

Just like any other Girl, I Love Shoes…be it Basic, Flats, Boots, Statement Footwear, Blingy ones…just bring them on. Today’s mood for me was vintage and what better shoes to pair my baggy pants and crisp White Shirt than classic Tan Brogues. You must have noticed that I am a little partial towards my Brogues, the deal is they are pair-able with whole lot of garments and are comfort wear goes without saying that I absolutely keep repeating them with outfit after outfits.

Foot Wear are very Important to complete any outfit , you should give my blog post on & footwear every woman should have. Make sure you invest in basics before you start Indulging in experimental shoes. As a Style Coach I have experienced that , That Is one of the major problem that women face, They some times do not know what do they want and what needs to be discarded from their collection. Let me know how you liked my take on it.

Coming back to my outfit of the day, It was a easy breezy comfy look, yet a smart style statement in its own way. I wish Baggy’s come back in and become part of everyday fashion soon. I rolled my sleeves up a tad bit more to enhance the vintage quotient.

How would the hair be left out of picture, my go to hairstyle suited the best with my look today. Puffs in the front and middle parting, how vintage can it get.

How do we seal the deal here, simple a Red Lipstick. Period. I do not even need to explain why, right!!! Mac works for me, which is your favourite Red….

I had fun dressing up today, share your style stories and style queries with me on [email protected]….ciao…

It started with a whatsapp picture posted in a friends’ group with a caption that Urvashi has fractured her foot…..really…I couldn’t believe , she seemed fine and OK a couple of days back, now suddenly I get to know this…. she is an active girl with jam packed diary….well!!!…. those of you who do not know Urvashi, to begin with she has more visa stamps on her passport than a whole lot of us put together, she travels to 2-3 countries every month and lives out of a suitcase literally and to imagine her foot cast in a plaster…pretty unimaginable…and whenever she is back in the city she has a rocking social schedule…cast in this scene is pretty pretty unimaginable…… right!!!

I rushed to see her as soon as I could and she didn’t care enough how much it hurt, not word about her pain , just a bit about how it all happened…what she was most worried about was that what will she wear all through as the cast would limit her fashion options…..we women will be women after all…..right….hugs and chats later yours truly and she decided to put together a fashion post, How to be Fashionable with a Cast on your foot.…. I styled her and she was my muse for that day….

While you cannot put Urvashi down or out for long, she has been hopping all over house on one leg and making sure she attends as many lunches and soirees she can within the complex….she is working as diligently as ever..her bedroom has become her office and all her meetings are on Skype ….she definitely has a spirit so wonderful that you are nothing but inspired….

Besides being this strong, confident and well travelled girl she is also so fond of everything that spells fashion and style….and when you have your truly for a friend it goes without saying that we had to have some fashion fun …and also prove a point that ….that cast should not limit you to not play dress up and have fun….I raided her closet one evening and styled these looks…Her Husband Saurav joined in the fun..helped me with the pictures and we almost ended up competing with each other as to who got the better shots….here goes….the shots!!

Look 1: Urvashi has lovely hair, God Hair Spa(ed) and Ironed her hair…she has fine highlights and loves that they have grown in length now, keeps her hair open always with a side parting and side bangs… so I decided to keep it open but opted for a middle parting for her, neatly pinned at the back , it made her look a different and she loved it….we chose a shimmery dress that she had ordered online (that’s what she has been doing these days….shopping online like all stores are going to run out of clothes by the time the cast comes out…he hehehe ),which was easy to slide on without her being bothered about the foot… raided her accessory bag , found these fun big earrings in red and dull gold, and we were ready to rock the first look….she had such happy gleam in her eyes doing this….for you all to see…

Look 2 : Next on was her chevron print long skirt, which she told me she always wears like a dress..how very creative of her…so it was worn like a dress (also that with a cast on she wouldn’t be able to wear a long skirt which would have bothered her in walking and could have caused a stumble had it got stuck under her foot), I tied her hair in a fun hairstyle , changed the liner to winged , a lot of blush later….here we have ….see she is enjoying it all…

Look 3: She doesn’t wear buns….so I had to had to make her wear a messy bun which she absolutely loved, added a bunstick for a little fun..took a chunky chain necklace and wrapped it like a bracelet around her wrists…voila she was ready to get pictures done….she was already perfecting her poses by now… for you to see…

Look 4: Military Green , cinched waist with metallic gold belt …messy hair…vintage earrings….do I even need to even say any more…..here goes….

Look 5: Pair of white summer shorts…they were a little too long for my liking…so I folded it couple of times and voila we had the length I wanted for her….a tank and a summer jacket on …paired with a stash of bangles with her hair tied in a side braid….and she was ready to rock the look….

….next time you know someone who has fractured their foot direct them to this post ….even better have a fun girly time with them trying out all the things they can wear then….borrow style tips from here any day…..in case of any style queries you can always write to me at [email protected]
