Greetings!

Says who you can't layer in summers? With the gorgeous trend of sleeveless blazers mushrooming in, I'm totally ready to take this to the next level. I love the way sleeveless blazers look effortless and classy at the same time!

Tip: These blazers look best with trousers, jeans and shorts.

I paired my blush blazer with a pussy bow blouse (which totally saves me from accessorizing on my neck! :P) and black ripped jeans to give a strong base to my outfit.

Tip: Sleeveless blazers look gorgeous in white, blush & navy colors.

I kept the color palette very light, crisp and fresh. While some may feel the colors to be very formal, I still love the clean look it gives.

Accessories are imperative. It makes you look perfect and well dressed & I wore a watch with a bracelet to add enough touch ups. Topped it off with nude heels to stick to the color scheme and a clear clutch to add the required drama.

If you're a blazer lover or even not, this one, you should probably have goals to add to your wardrobe.

Hope you liked the outfit!

Until Next Time,

Dushala.

Kimono/Belt/Necklace/Rings - Thrifted | Dress - Singapore | Shoes - Westside

Hey Hey!

The weather is soaring high with each passing minute and we can barely get our pants on. That's when a summer dress and a kimono come into the picture. It saves you from the heat and your look is still on point.

Kimono's are great for layering in summers because its lightweight and loose fitted, won't make you sweat buckets and well, they're just perfect.

Tip: They're great for covering up super skimpy summer dresses.

I paired this printed kimono with a white summer dress to keep it airy and fuss free. Accessorized with a colorful necklace and rings.

Did you know: Even if you pile on just a stack of midi rings, you still look completely accessorized.

I finished this look with a belt and a pair of wedges which have been the ultimate summer shoes since forever.

Tip: While everybody will be wearing just their kimonos, you go the extra mile to wear it with a belt!

The look that I shared with you today is super simple because that's what you do all summer; wear breezy dresses, slap on bright lipsticks and be unbothered about la vie.. isn't it?

Quick Pairing guide

Day : Pair the kimono with shorts or maxi dresses for the ultimate boho look.

Night : Wear the kimono with a bodycon dress.

Thank you for reading!

Much Love,

Dushala.

Hey Hey!

The best part about summer is you can carry off even the brightest color with grace & the moment I saw this skirt I was already prancing around wearing it (in my head). For this post, I chose to style this super bright pencil skirt (jussst look at it!) pairing it with a printed shirt blouse.

Tip: Mix brights with lights to get a balanced chic outfit. (eg: orange with light blue)

This comes as a no brainer that for super hot summers sleeveless blouses are your best bet & I personally like them collared. There's something structured about it.

Tip: Prints will easily give your outfit the character it needs. Watch out for unique ones.

Accessories were kept to its minimum with a multi layer necklace which is so versatile and perfect for summers (since it doesnt cling to my neck).

Tip: Be it for indian ethnic wear or casual western wear to a more formal wear, a multi layer necklace like this can save you heaps of time on accessorizing.

Tip: Pencil Skirts with flats go great but ankle strap heels are for a perfectionist.

Until Next Time Lovelies!

Tropical Days

01:39

Hey Hey Everyone!

With my one and only one super talented photographer being sick, I was totally handicapped to do any posts. Nevertheless, today I begin my summer outfit posts series! Summer is officially here, so say hello to maxi's and more of maxi's! I am going to create outfit posts based on fresh summer trends to try out this year & first I'm going to go all green.

While the entire world is going all pastels and white make them go green with jealousy by wearing tropical prints in the latter color.

Tropical prints are a no brainer for summers and they instantly get you in the groove to battle the heat stylishly.

Tip: Look for palms, jungle prints, wild flowers and there are so many others to pick from.

I paired my jungle print crop top with a maxi skirt. Repeat after me: easy-breezy-maxi. I kind of love the entire idea of creating my outfit around one color & this gorgeous green maxi matched perfectly with my top.

Tip: Ditch the usual whites, brights and blacks for maxi's. Look for richer colors like leaf green, mustard & fuchsia.

Coming on to accessories, I wore chunky pearl earrings, which have a little indian touch to it. Bearing that in mind, I wore a kundan watch and a pearl bangle bracelet to add up to a mini arm party.

Tip: Accessorizing is very important for any outfit but in summers, unless you're off to a place with aircon, totally avoid necklaces. It's going to take the life out of you. Rather replace them with chunky earrings which can still do the trick.

Hope you liked these tips and will try it out too!

Until Next Time,

Dushala.

My Heart's your Valentine

Hey hey!

Being just in time for a Valentine's Day outfit, there's no style guide I need to give you to dress up for this cheeky day except for one word "red". While wearing red is too mainstream, Valentine's day feels a bit incomplete without it.

Tip : You can tone down red only with white. Always remember this if you don't want to look over the top.

I paired my red skirt with a kiss print sleeveless shirt to give the perfect love-y feeling. I did accessorize enough with a statement oriental necklace, a ring, earrings and a glittery belt to prep up my outfit.

Tip : If you're not a jewelry person, you can just wear a statement necklace and be just done.

I carried a sequined clutch bag which absolutely matched the color palette of my outfit and signed off with red heels.

Tip: Always always remember, even if your outfit is so-so, you can look fabulous if you carry the right bag and wear the right shoes.

I'm sure the outfit looks mushy enough for a few but Valentine's Day is being all about it, don't you think?

Happy Valentine's Day!

Until Next Time,

Dushala.

Shirt/Cami - Thrifted | Jeans - ONLY | Necklace - Zahra Jani | Shoes - Westside

Hey Beautiful Beings!

What's a wardrobe without denims? Incomplete. I love wearing denim on denim, doesn't it give a retro feel to the entire look? Today's look is kept colorful, retro-ish, and super simple.

I wore an embroidered denim shirt (just look at that gorgeous thing) with high waisted jeans.

Tip : Opt for studded/embroidered denim shirts for a breakthrough from the plain ones.

To add a quirky element, I added a laser cut pink camisole. Kept accessories to its minimum by wearing just a statement necklace which matched my outfit perfectly. Visit Zahra Jani to buy her gorgeous accessories at peanut prices!

Tip : Wear a statement necklace with any outfit and you're so ready.

To match the cheerfulness of the colorful shirt, I wore these coral flats.

You know, I saw these exact ones in Aldo just in another color. But got these only at a fraction of the price from Westside (yay! *happy dance*).

Quick Pairing Guide

Day - You could pair a denim shirt with a denim skirt!

Evening - Denim on denim with a sequinned cami inside.

Until Next Time,

Dushala.

Greetings Beautiful People!

This is my first post for the year and I wanted to start my journey with the most favourite print, ever, the polka dots! This print is a must have for each girls' closet, I mean what's not to love? I fell head over heels in love with this polka dot skirt the moment I saw it as I could literally vision myself living in these and styling it in endless ways.

Tip: Polka dot skirts are collectibles! The moment you see it, buy it.

I paired this adorable skirt with a numbered tee, because I loooved the net detailing on it. I kept the entire look pretty cute-sy and hence finished off with white plimsolls, a tan crossbody to add a bit of color to the outfit and accessories to its minimum with a watch and a couple of bracelets.

Tip: Numbered tees and white plimsolls are high on trend.

There is absolutely everything you can pair a polka dot skirt with. Wear it for daytime, brunch or even as formals. It's a classic example of versatility.

Tip: When in doubt of how to accessorize, club in a couple of bracelets and you're set!

Quick Pairing Guide

Day - Pair it with a pussybow blouse & flats for a super cute look.

Evening - Just throw on a blazer & heels with it and you're good to go!

Hope you enjoyed the post :)

Until Next Time,

Dushala.
