5 days, 5 kurtis!

Hi guys! Hope you're all doing well.

The past five days have been super hectic, but I am back with another blog and this time I took up the challenge of "wearing kurtis for an entire week"!

Yes!

I had to be in college, attend lectures and meet a couple of friends here and there. Amidst all this, I wanted to look good yet be in my comfortable state and this post sums up what I wore and how I styled my basic cotton kurtis!

DAY 1-

Going to college is never exciting for me, especially after a long weekend. I decided to wear my favourite indigo and whites to beat Monday blues in the most comfy way possible.

I wore an indigo print blue cotton kurti with my favourite white palazzo pants. The high slits of the upper are perfect and give an illusion of a tiny waist. The flared white palazzo pants go well with the straight-cut kurti. These open-toed floral flats give the required pop of colour and let your feet breathe!

To complete the overall look, I decided to keep my hair open, wear silver Afghani earrings and opted for a black basic tote

Outfit details:

Kurti & Palazzo pants- Self-designed

Silver earrings- local market

Black bag- Miniso, CP

Floral flats- Street style store

DAY 2-

For the second day of this week, I decided to sport an Indo-fusion look.

I wore a black kurti with jeggings. To break the monotony of black, I wrapped a multi-coloured stole around my neck and carried a mustard coloured handbag-sling. 

These colours make the otherwise-boring black outfit pop up and appealing. 

Outfit details:
Kurti- Fab India
Jeggings- Bare denim from Pantaloons
Juttis- Delhi Haat, INA
Sling- Trade Fair, Pragati Maidan

DAY 3- 


For the mid-week look, I decided to wear an A-line kurti and made two side braids for a neater and well-defined look. 

Instead of wearing leggings or pants with the kurti, i wore it as a dress and added a belt over it. I ditched earrings and opted for a couple of charm bracelets. 

These black shoes went quite well with this basic khadi textured kurti and i carried a black handbag to complete the look.

Outfit details:
Kurti- Ajio
Tassled sandals- Westside
Charm bracelets- Adorn(on instagram: adornbygunjan)
Belt- Pantaloons
Black handbag- from Hong Kong(gifted)

DAY 4-


For the fourth day of the kurti lookbook, I thought of being a bit experimental and mixed different pieces from my wardrobe.


I found this coral peach floor-length A-line kurti which dates back to my school's teacher day and I decided to bring it to some use and wear it with a black shirt. 
Yes, a black shirt over a long kurti! 


I wore a black satin-net shirt over this solid coloured kurti, tied a knot in the front and wore my black-tassled slip ons and carried a basic black tote.

Outfit details:
Kurti- Miku Kumar
Shirt- Ajio
Black shoes- Street style store
Bag- Miniso, CP


DAY 5-


I've been loving flowy A-line kurtas because-
a) they are super comfortable and i can sit, walk, run and even sleep during lectures in them; and 
b) they give a perfect silhouette and structure to my body and makes me look tall and lean.

For the last day of this series, I decided to wear this long multi-coloured kurta. 
The kurta has just the right amount of flare, and the colours and patterns give it an appealing and a bohemian look. I wore my black palazzo pants and tied them a bit up so that the bottoms could be partially seen.
I wore my tan juttis, carried a black tote and wore a belt over the kurta to complete my Friday look.

Outfit details:
Kurta- Trade Fair, Pragati Maidan
Palazzo- Ajio
Juttis- Delhi Haat, INA
Belt- Pantaloons
Bag- Miniso, CP


That was it for this week. Hope you loved what you read and saw so far!

Outfits for the college going girl!

Hi there!

Welcome to the first ever fashion look-book/blog. Starting this blog and documenting my personal style has been a long-planned dream(and it finally seems to hit the reality!). 

Talking of this blog, I have compiled my top five favourite college outfits that are comfortable and easy to carry, simple to recreate and ideal for every college going girl. 
All the outfits listed below are an amalgamation of Indian as well as western wear, and are comfortable and lets you breathe even in the hot summers. I have tried to be as versatile as possible and incorporated different clothing items like skirts, leggings and even ethnic wear like palazzo pants and Kurtis! 

I hope you like all that is specially curated and kept in store for you. 
Happy reading!


LOOK 1: GOING THE ETHNIC WAY!


Fun fact: I love Indian wear as much as I love my skirts and crop tops!
A simple kurta with well-coordinated bottoms can never go wrong. For this look, I have selected a mint chikan-work kurta and worn it with black palazzo pants, silver Afghani earrings and a pair of floral flats!

This outfit is perfect for your first day to college as it is elegant yet minimalist. Chikankari embroidery is so much in trend these days and looks stunning when worn in any form. Wearing cotton palazzo pants is so much better than jeans or leggings as they are airy and comfortable. 



You can attend your lectures, go on a lunch date with friends or even attend family gatherings in this look! 

  

Outfit details:
Kurta- Sarojini Nagar
Palazzo- Ajio
Floral flats- Street Style Store
Silver earrings- Local market


LOOK 2: LET YOUR SHOULDERS DO THE TALKING!

Off-the shoulder, cold shoulders and tube tops are a one time investment and they last you forever!
These tops let you flaunt your gorgeous shoulders, make your collar bones visible and enhance the overall appeal of the look.

For this look, I have paired the same black palazzo pants from last look with a pink and white floral skirt. Yes! I have worn my skater skirt as a tube top and the floral pink-white vibe of the skirt gives a pop of colour to the otherwise basic outfit. 
With the skirt-top and pants, i have paired black multi-coloured tassel sandals. Since I wanted to highlight my collar bone area, I didn't wear any accessory and just carried a basic black tote and let my hair lose.

Outfit details:
Skirt(worn as a tube top)- RIO
Palazzo- Ajio
Black tassel sandals- Street style store
Black tote bag- Miniso


LOOK 3: ACING THE FUSION LOOK!

Skirts and Kurtis make a perfect combination! They make you look trendy and provide a perfect balance of westernised clothing and age-old traditional wear.

For this look, I have chosen a turquoise kurti and paired it with a basic black mini skirt. The kurti looks and matches perfectly with the black skirt. Both the garments have a self-design and that adds up to the overall look. 
For footwear, I wore my black tie-up sandals as they come just above my ankle and look perfect with the length of the skirt. To complete the look i wore my silver jhumkas as they vibe well with the traditional look of the outfit.

You can mix and match your basic cotton kurtis with skirts and look trendy in college without going over the top!

Outfit details:
Turquoise kurti- Avaasa
Black skirt- Forever 21
Black tie-up sandals- Street style store
Silver earrings- Local market


LOOK 4: SPORTY YET CHIC!

This look is perfect for the girls who don't like dressing up and feel the most comfortable in their tracks and leggings.

For this look, I chose black basic leggings and paired them with a bralette and threw on my Dad's black-white shirt. I have added a brown rope belt on the top of the shirt to give it a neater and structured look. 

The black white checkered shirt looks perfect with sleeves rolled up and acts as a perfect shrug on the top of the bralette. 
I wore my brown combat boots to match with the colour of the belt. They have the perfect heel height and are non-slippery, water resistant and comfortable to run and walk around in!

Outfit details:
Black-white shirt- Study by Janak(Dad's wardrobe)
Black leggings- Pantaloons
Black bralette- Romwe
Brown boots- Street style store
Brown belt- Pantaloons


LOOK 5: PLAYING THE BLACK GAME FOREVER!

"I have enough of blacks"- said no girl ever. 

Black is the most easy to carry colour and looks perfect on all shapes and sizes and complexion. Half of my wardrobe has everything in black and trust me, I won't mind investing in more. This colour is not just fun to experiment with but also tones down your body and makes you look leaner. 

This outfit from Empress Pitara is perfect for the summer season as it is comfortable and the fabrics used are breathable. Despite being black in colour, it keeps you cool and makes you look stylish with its design. 

The palazzo pants look perfect with this printed tieable jacket/cape. The ambi print on the jacket looks very fresh and enhances appeal of the overall black outfit. My favourite thing about this entire outfit is that the jacket is removable and you can pair it up with leggings or even jeans and skirts!
