Finally I wore a cape today! I have been wanting to seriously wear this trend, without looking OTT.Today for a day out with my son to the mall and the movies, I wore this navy blue cape with an all black outfit and navy boots.I also wore a statement silver neckpiece.
and a selfie in the car…
ENJOY!
I love monochrome. But going all out may look a little drab. The best way to spice it up is by way of accessories.
Here I am wearing an all black outfit which I have accessorized with a multicolored stone necklace. It adds enough glamour to shift from a day look to an image makeover for an evening out.
This is easy fashion!
Hope you liked the look.
ENJOY!!!
Today while rummaging through my wardrobe, i was thinking of what to wear . I wanted to wear something striking yet comfortable. I definitely wanted to add some drama to my outfit.
It was then I thought of wearing something black and white. I always feel it is the best way to add drama to your attire.

Me in my Indian wear….
It is a sure shot way to catch eyeballs.
Simple, classy and fashionable at the same time.
Even though this look does not require much accessorizing,but you can still add some jewelry
To accessorize, you need black shoes or slippers and some silver jewellery. You can also wear silver slippers to add some more glam. This outfit can also be worn with diamonds or pearls, for a more sophisticated evening look.
ENJOY!
That is a universal problem I bet. Every morning staring at my overflowing wardrobe and at the same time staring at the watch ,has become the norm. I am sure the same is true for most of us.I had to device a quick fix for that , so that I don’t leave home exhausted. Following is my easy to do mantra.
1) Have a capsule wardrobe.
Focus on buying good quality staple pieces that never go out of fashion. These may differ from person to person . My capsule wardrobe is as follows:
Nude or beige upper.
A white shirt or top.
Black uppers.
Black lowers.
Navy lowers.
Little black dress.
A nice black trench coat.
A pair of beige flats.
A pair of silver flats.
A pair of ballet flats.
A pair of black pumps.
A pair of boots.
A daily wear neck piece.
A statement necklace.
A pair of studs in silver and gold. I have diamond earrings in gold. They go mostly with everything.
Silver and gold hoops for the evening.
A pair of chandelier earrings.
A black and a multicolored stole.
A nice diamante watch.
Morning Clutch or tote in nude.
Evening Clutch in black and gold.( black goes with silver outfits too)
2) Plan in advance for the whole week.
I do that most of the time. If possible ,I do plan what I have to wear each day of the week on Sunday. It saves my time and the mornings are less hurried. I also decide the accessories if they are going to be different for some particular outfit. Mostly I change my neck-pieces, but my bag and slippers remain the same during the day, at least for one week.
3) Try your outfits beforehand.
Now this has saved me many a time from being embarrassed because of a zipper gone wrong or for instance a tear on my leggings. Sometimes you can improvise your outfit if you try it beforehand.
4) Have an inventory.
This is applicable if you have too many key pieces like I do. I also write down the various looks I can create with my staple pieces. Again I save a lot of time because of this.
5) Have your ”must have” make up kit ready and and updated.
Also keep your evening and night make up items separate from your daily essentials. Things like shimmery eye shadow, illuminator and dark blushers should be in a separate kit.
6) Have some items to add drama to your outfit always at hand.
A blingy necklace, a cocktail ring, a quirky bag are some ideas of adding some drama to your attire.

7) Red lipstick
Another instant pick me up essential. My personal favorite is M.A.C. Russian Red Matte.
It adds enough drama to make heads turn.
So girl, get going and plan your capsule wardrobe.
Till next time…

My last post…”Why fashion?” ,set me thinking. It set me thinking about my place in my life and in the life of my near and dear ones. They love me and I love them , but I love myself more.You have to do that. Liberate yourself . And I am trying to do that via my blog. No doubt it is about fashion but more than that it is about me and you. I want to know you. I want to learn about your fashions and introduce you to my culture. There are Winds of Change all around and I want to be a part of it.So here it is….welcome to my world.
A small example of how I have incorporated this change into my life is by way of my favourite accessory…my neckpieces. Considering my profession(I am a doctor teaching medical students in India) I could not wear the flashy and in your face jewellery. So I literally got a ” SILVER LINING” into my daily attire by way of silver jewellery. And I must tell you how much it is loved by the people around me. So many compliments and ”WOWS” later I am sharing some of the lovely silver jewellery .
These are some of my silver neckpieces that look great with most of my Indian and western clothes.
Let me tell you they never fail to get noticed and appreciated.
So till next time. Loads of love.
