Outfit Confession..--Today I am wearing..

 

Like I shared in my last post Graphic tartans are back this Fall..  Today I planned to wear a Shirt wid a Tank-top .. Shirt's collars are folded  in a way to give it a look of a blazer.. (for early morning classes u need sumthing warm n Comfortable.. after all its Delhi winters..) To add color it this look i used a Pink color Tank top n pink flat Ballerinas(my most fav) and a belt to stop the collar from folding and to define the waist.. n a Vintage Bag .. That matches wid the belt.. not making it odd..!! i kept it simple.. didn't accessorize it much  coz I was dressing up for my classes. odawise wud have been wearing a watch n my fav studs atleast..

I generally prefer no-makeup look for college..but i always wear my lip balm..(VOV , Body shop or Fab-India..) n a moisturizer atleast..

Thats it.. for the day Divas.. see you soon..

Confession of the Day..Graphic Tartan

                             Graphic Tartan
Dress it up..  Pant it down.. or just The Chic Poncho ..!! 

Plaids and tartans went big and bold this fall, with designers finding more inspiration from in-your-face rustic weaves than the understated checks of seasons past.. 

 I absolutely love how Kim K has used the same digital print in the dress n the Poncho..( perfect  the escape the chill.. )
The print being different does not make tartans obvious.. but quite Chic  and classy in d dress..which is so Kim.. & the Poncho is my personal favorite ..already looking so warm n chic at the same time..


If opting for Plaids n tartans make sure you sport it a lilall different than usual this time..be it in a different print ..of skirt..dress..pant or Poncho..


So.. this was a quick fashion update.. made real quick.. as m short of time..  submissions n assignments..keeping me busy ....
Thats it for the day Fshionistas..
 &
till my next post.. like I always say..Do it as..
Coco Chanel..-" I don't do Fashion.. I am Fashion.."

Confession of the Day..A quick sneak peak into This Fall's hit trends....

1) Minus the Perfect pair of shades worn by the Kardashian Clan.. I really like the poncho Kim is wearing..!! Poncho have come back with a bang.. n are here to stay this fall..Retro yet stylish.. Boho but Chic at the same time..a must have piece of clothing.. just sport it over any sweater or warmer.. n glam it up wid  perfect accessories..!! n u are ready to rock.. *_^

2) Black blazer is all u need  .. perfect for almost every occasion.. wear it over a dress or pants or over a casual denim n Tee.. just like Pipa...
she wears it for shopping.. and also for a day at work..in the pics below she is seen sporting the same blazer but at different occasions..!!

 3) The Tuxedo Look..with a feminine touch..is a must try.. Black n white is the way to go.. with RED lips n that outfit u are ready to Rule ..!!

4)Colored Pants .. in different colors is also a trend that is making its way in the fashion scene real strong.. already a Hit among the celebs ..!! make sure you atleast have one of these ..!!

5) Channel your inner Shaft with coats that reach all the way to the floor. These Duster Coats look impossibly glam, especially when paired with the textured, filmy separates shown on the runway.

6)  From Tron-like athletic Stripes to horizontal Hamburglar patterns, the stripes in the fall collections with bold and graphic.

So.. thats about it Fashionistas.. many more Confessionz to come about fall fashion.. beauty .. hair n skin care.. stay tunned.... been busy with exhibitions but soon gonna unveil my Jewelry Label.."Shaily From Delhi" -by Shaily Khera ..

Confession of the Day-style tip-"How to get that Gypsy Look.."

                                 I had a Boho Day.. ;)

That's what i wore to College today..

{I am wearing-- [ Top- "Shaily From Delhi-by Shaily Khera" ] [ Skirt-from my own closet/gifted..i don't remember..] [ Belt- Dilli Haat] [ Bag-sum stall, Kamla Nagar mrkt, Banglow Road][ Footwear- Stelatoes ] [jewelery- stupid cupid.., sum stall GK...] [shades- Ray Ban]}




Getting this look is easy.. m sure all of you have that one Maxi skirt u bought ages back.. n don't want to wear.. well take it out of that Closet.. n wear it high on your waist wid a full sleeve T-shirt ..( like i did..) or  a lose cotton tunic or top..wid balloon sleeve..( that adds the Boho element..) .. a beaded belt or a scarf for color blocking on your waist.. and team it up wid a nice jhola bag n Kolahpuris or Gladiators.. n to finish d look.. keep your hair messy or braided.. wear all the chunk that u have.. but don't over accessories ..

Here I am wearing everything that a wanted to scrap or give away once .. like that skirt.. which was laying in my Closet for over 6 years.. doing nothing.. So, u can also create this look.. all u have to do is look inside your closet ....

I am a Gypsy at heart.. Living away from Delhi for sumtym.. n traveling sure has evolved me into one..
My personal style is Boho.. not because i want to look artistic or gypsy or whatever.. but because there has always been some a Gypsy element in my sense of style..


Also because..it has sum element of history.. that always attracts Me.. The Clothes are colorful.. comfortable.. and is mixture of various ethnic clothing styles..as well as historical costumes..


Bohemian style consists of loose, colorful clothing and has appeared as boho chic, hippie style, and Aesthetic dress. With their long flowing hair and rich, though threadbare fabrics, bohemians stand out in a crowd representing a colorful counterculture based on creativity, poverty, and an indifference to social structures and traditions..


Thats it for the day my dear Fashionistas..
  &   till my next post do nit as.. 
           Coco Chanel.." I don't do fashion, I am Fashion.."

Confession of the Day -A Fashion Tip - Trick them with that perfect dress.. *_^

      At my College Fashion Show!! 

M wearing--l Dress- Delhi to London, Kamla Nagar l shoes-nude wedges from Neutralizerl Watch- Aldo l Jewellery- Silver studs , Handicraft store,Sun n Sand, Mumbai..,Silver rings-my own collection..l makeup- Inglot l
 

This look fetched lot of compliments that day.. who sayz u need to be size -zero to wear dresses .. All you need to know is what silhouette suits ur body-type the best .. rite cuts , silhouettes and colors does the magic.. A women needs to know her body-type..love it and understand what suits it the best.. every body has imperfections.. and we need to learn the art to hide it...! ;P
That's what you call the" Art Of Dressing.."

Like if you have a really nice n curvy waist.. highlight it with a dress that defines your waist and highlights it.... For the bodytypes like me..that is if u r slightly on the chubbier side..always wear hour Glass Silhouette ..(tight from your waist )

 

 Types of Silhouettes that can help you find that perfect Dress..

Ball Gown: A great dress for petite, full-figured, pear shaped, and thin women. This dress is usually very full and Cinderella-like. The dress flares out at the waist (example below).

Empire: A great dress for petite women who do not have a definite waistline. This style is not recommended for women who have an hour glass figure. This type of dress is where the waist line is raised above the natural waistline. In the pictures below the waistline is right below the bust. This is not unusual in empire  type silhouettes (example below).

A-line: This gown can be worn by all body shapes. This dress tends to be fitted at the top and then flares out towards the bottom, creating an A-shape (example below).

Princess: This gown can be worn by all body shapes. However, the princess cut can have panels that are in the dress. This style is very similar to the A-line silhouette, however, it has vertical panels that run from the neckline to the hem creating a clean lined look (example below).

Sheath: This dress is a great choice for thin women. This style is not recommended for short or full figured women. It tends to hug the womans figure and has a defined waist (example below).

Mermaid: This dress is a great dress for women who would like to display their curves. The dress is very fitting all the way down to the hips and then begins to flare out. This dress is not recommended for short figured women (example below).

Do you scrap ur ill-fitting denim jeans :( ?? not anymore!! *_^ ..

                         Not anymore :) 

        **Don't throw them!! I have an idea  :)**

       **************How?? *************


      **Take a look at my picture below..**


.. Ripped Jeans ^_^ Once a Sign of Poverty, then a Symbol of Rebelliousness, but now Fashion Statement..~_~ which rulled the Fashion scene from 70's -90's.. and are back with a Bang ..!!

My Ripped denim jeans.. that I wore yesterday for college..

 As I always say,"Every shopping has a reason.. and every outfit has a story..its a mystery and we being women are on a mission it find it and solve .." In the picture above you can see me wearing a Ripped Denim Jeans..This Lee denim.. I wanted to through badly a few months ago.. n now can't imagine my wardrobe without one.. This one has sum serious history.. I bought these last year when i was in Mumbai.. from the biggest sale season of the year(July)..and like a shopaholic i was looking for just anything to swipe my card for.. and i found these on a rack , as if these were just made fr me.. as if they have just been waiting for me..
But as the feeling of Yayy!! I did shopping ..sinks in .. n you realize wtf did I do with my money.. :( likewise ,I realized O_o what a waste of money it was.. and suddenly I was hate everything about my denim :( .. from color to fit (the fitting part was actually rite.. it didn't fit me properly.. like it was borrowed..or is from my fat school days..) and I could not stop cursing my idiot friend ,who made me believe that I made the best decision.. just to get rid of another shopping spree wid me (typical guy)..
So, here is the real story.. 2 months back I got my knee bruised by not seeing  a big pit in front of me and falling in the same ); (clumsy Me.. typical Gemini).. after an injection and a few days of bed-rest.. i cud not dress up ..like I usually do.. so I Decided to Rip my old Levis.. for a visit to Gurudwara Sahib..where I cud not(obviously) dress up in shorts..Then it was a simple Horizontal Cut on the Knee area of my denim..with a scissor n blade ..Its when I Realized wearing them is not bad at all.. infact they look really nice wid sporty Tee's and tunics..(all u hv to do is accessorize them well).. 
Later, when I ws just about to giveaway the lee(the one I am wearing in the pic above) I thought of ripping it Vertically between thighs and knee area of the denim..like in  parallel lines (to avoid attention from my thunder thighs ;p  )..And it turned out to be quite a Denim.. ^_^

( I am wearing-- Denim: Lee, Tank-top: sum stall,GK , Halter Top: Pantaloons, Bag:Woodland, Watch:my Dad's, Bangle: Stupid-Cupid, Shades: Vero Moda, Shoes: Shoes n More{Model Town Mrkt} )

*Things to be Kept in mind before buying a Ripped denim Jeans or ripping a Denim jeans-

*have heavy thighs or short height..  never go for a denim ripped horizontally above your knee it gives attention to all the wrong areas..making u look fat and short....go for a simple knee ripped denim..

*Want to give your self a little height with these ripped denim jeans.. go for the ones with vertical -parallel rips between thighs and knee.. only if you can carry these off!!( it shows a lot of your skin.. '_^ )

* never forget  to look for the ripped detailing on the back pocket or side pocket.. for a finished look of the ripped denim..




* If doing it yourself make sure you mark the cuts first and then use blade or scissor.. make the cut slightly smaller than the mark as the lose threads from the cut will increase and expand the size of the cut with time..


* For better result and exact look ,wash the denim after ripping it off..it makes the denim look more natural..and effect is also better..   

Though, Ripped jeans are mostly seen on celebrities or are reserved for designer brands. Ordinary wearers are no longer seen as rebellious , its more of a trend or fashion statement now.. I personally like to wear them to college.. movies..shopping..outings.
 
 p.s.- why spend a bomb to buy a ripped denim..your Closet alawys has that one denim you wana thourugh.. use that .. why only wear a boyfriend's shirt or a Blazer when u can also flaunt a Boyfriend's denim jeans from your own Closet.. ~_~ 

My Favorite It-Girl Kim Kardashian is usually  Spotted in Ripped denims jeans when she is traveling ..!!

**Aonther Cute thing you can do with your Old Denim Jeans **
My friend Parul's Sister made this cute Clutch out-off an old Denim jeans.. she used a zip to close one end..n tailored another.. added  colorful buttons  to make it funky and cute.. ^_^
 

 

** A little sumthing that you should know about Ripped Denim Jeans.. or just Denim Jeans..**
 Denim Jeans have come a long way since 1870's ..if we look at History of Fashion..Starting in the 1950s, jeans, originally designed for cowboys, became popular among Teenagers..
Then came the unusual .... In 70's People were spotted wearing Ripped..Torn..Slashed Denim Jeans..
Torn denim jeans have traveled a long way in our Fashion History....There’s a lot to learn about ripped jeans by glancing at the Google News archives. Generally speaking, ripped jeans were fashionable in the music crowd from the 1970’s onward, but the masses did not see the style until 1984 or so. Ripped jeans were explosively popular until the very early 90’s where they were put on the back burner..

{* It Girl Madonna among many other Fashionistas , who was seen wearing these Ripped Jeans in 1990's..}




 So, this was another Confession from my Closet.. will be back soon with more ..   ~_~
