Pocket full of SUNSHINE

Hi everyone!

Past few days have been such a pleasure to me. I read the book 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'  by Khaled Hosseini. I'm thrilled and excited at the same to have been reading it. The book brings such a wave of emotions and plight of the women in Afghanistan. More influencing feature was that the protagonist is a female, that in itself infused a lot of optimism to fight against the wrong and keep going successfully in adverse circumstances as well. :)

Coming to the post, I would like to add that this shoot took just a few minutes. As soon as my cousin arrived to see me this mid February, the first thing I did was to hand over the camera to her and put up my views as to how I wanted the pictures should come. The time was perfect, exactly when the sun was at the verge of setting down and I wanted to spare every single second and capture as many good pictures as  I can, for I had thought the little sunlight and its effects would go perfect with the pictures.

I truly adore those yellow jeans. Luckily one day, while I was just browsing through some clothes in a mall, I came across this polka dotted navy blue cardigan.

The cardigan with those balloon sleeves and two side pockets with a bow on each looked so feminine to me. Also the polka dots made it look very fashionable. Color blocking, which is a bold and fun way to dress, has been such a huge trend and so I couldn't resist myself trying it for once. I've gone with the 'Separate' technique to styling a color blocked outfit which is mixing garments of contrasting colors by teaming that navy blue, polka dotted cardigan up with the those yellow jeans. Also to complete the look I've used a neutral shade, white. I got a short sleeves white blouse so that it looks gorgeous and looks visually uneventful in relation to the rest of the outfit.

I had just wished the combination works well and hopefully the pictures were satisfactory. :)

The post is titled so.Thanks to my friends on FB to have come up with a comment like this. I liked it and could not come up with any other title better than this :D

Hope you like the post and the pictures as well.

Shades of white.

I had always wanted to team up my skirt, I got some time before, with something chic and something that  goes well with the skirt. That which balances the length of the skirt and all together looks classy too. Something that would be just so perfect for a day outing this summer.

I could not think of any other thing than a plain, white cotton shirt that works for all. The shirt looks chic and so elegant and at the same counts in the short length and checked patterns of the skirt too. A perfect attire for summer, worth trying hands on.

                       

As far as the accessories are concerned I'm wearing those wayfarer sunglasses I borrowed from my sister, which further adds to the attire. And no doubt, the black toe pumps accentuate the look. The brooch, of course, marks a tinge of softness to the shirt with the rolled up sleeves.

Happy reading. :)

My inner self & I

Fashion to me is something that portrays your inner self. It’s about how you feel the moment is. I love experimenting and living the moments. My idea of dressing up depends a lot on my inner state of mind. I would love to wear a salwaar kameez and flaunt an Indian look or the next I may prefer a minimal chic dress. I love playing with colors and textures. How well the nature has bestowed us with  its beauty in various natural forms and how the hues of the rainbow delight me.

Fashion in art. An art which when not worked and experimented upon loses its luster. Therefore I truly believe that one should keep experimenting with their dresses, the accessories, the looks, the hair or the make up as long as it adds to their growth, as long as it makes them feel comfortable and confident.

It matters the most if it makes you feel  BEAUTIFUL  and in some way makes you feel happy too J
