outfit of the day

 

     Hey guys! I want to quickly share with you what I wore to the recent Drops of Youth launch event. A little trivia of sorts before that…did you know that Ritu Kumar actually started her design journey from Kolkata. She opened her first boutique out here way back in the day ie a good 20 years or so ago. My Di was a lover of designer clothes and would buy stuff only from the boutiques spread out in the city. Back then there weren’t mass clothes brands per say. Ritu Kumar was her favorite and I remember going to the Park Street store quite often. This jacket I’m wearing is one of my sister’s Ritu Kumar pieces and was probably a part of a suit set. I love the detailing on it with its intricate Indian patterns and those rich blue hues.

     I had my eye on this since quite sometime and finally got the perfect opportunity to wear it. Inside I’m wearing a basic combo of a top and jeans which complement this jacket perfectly. I have been playing with the idea of doing a 30 days – 30 looks kind of a post idea since sometime where I wanted to show how versatile certain pieces can be and how to get the best looks and combo out of them. Let me know if that sounds interesting to you and I will start on it pronto. I picked up these huge earrings from Westside recently and I love how classy they look! They just draw your eye but still retain a certain subtlety to them (well I consider them subtle 😛 ).

     Overall I felt the look to be a little too dull (yes you know me) as my bling element was missing…so what better way to jazz up the look than with some glitter heels from Steve Madden. To finish the look I pulled my hair up in a doughnut bun, slapped on some Lime Crime Pink Velvet and was ready to step out. The eye makeup that you see in the pics is what the SA at the event did on me after my lovely eye massage. After some chit chat, nom nom’s and impromptu dance moves later the night came to an end…and with that so does this post. Do let me know what you think about it? Accessories make a world of difference to any outfit so don’t be afraid to try out a couple of combinations to land on something that sits well for you. I will be parked here to listen to what you have to say about it 😀 Peace out!
