Pleather Weather Part II

Happy Tuesday!!

How was your weekend guys? Today I will be continuing this post from last saturday's on how to style a pleather legging in five different ways. In the last post I had posted two looks and in this part there will be three looks. Hope you liked the previous ones.

Look# 3

For this look I paired my leggings with a teal coloured jumper. Teal is a colour created by mixing blue and green on a white base. Hence decided to put on a scarf that has blue accents on a white base added with yellow tassels. The base colours of teal in the scarf and the teal itself compliments each other, while the yellow tassels brightens up the whole outfit paired with the black pleather leggings, black boots and a nude coloured clutch (neutral colours). This outfit is perfect for a brunch or a lunch.

Look# 4

For the fourth look I just removed the Black Pleather Biker Jacket from the first look and added this batwing cardigan from the second look. It is really amazing how we can transform looks by just swapping an outerwear. From a Biker Chic look, this cardigan helped me to acheive a Glam Chic look for an evening out or a Girl's Night Out. I kept the whole look neutral with a pop of colour with my Red lips.

Look# 5

For the last look I decided to go the "Everyday Girly Look". Here I just worked on the upper part of my outfit. Instead of the top and the cardigan here I am wearing the same Flushed Pink Jumper worn here with a woven textured dark Teal Blazer. Also added a black Beanie to keep me extra warm. Changed the clutch to a multicoloured clutch with flush pink base so as to keep it connected with the jumper. The jumper has a round neckline and I have a round face. Hence to lengthen my face and neck I added this long chain with an animal print pendant.

Would really like to know how did you like the five looks with the same leggings and which one is your most favourite one.

Summer to Fall/Winter Part II - Mixed Patterns

Happy Friday!

How are you gorgeous people. Continuing my Summer to Fall/Winter outfit post series, today I curated a summer and a winter staple from my wardrobe to create this look.

Mixing pattern has been my latest obsession while creating an outfit. It's so much fun, but it can be risky as well if we don't do it right. A few tips that I keep in mind while doing so

1. Stay in the same colour family, or try to connect both the the pieces with one common colour. As in this outfit, I had chosen pink as the base colour which you can see in the floral print of the dress. The overcoat has light pink undertone as the base colour.

2. Break the Patterns a little by adding some solid detail to the outfit. It may be accessories, shoes anything, but the key is keep everything else simple.

3. Unless it is a matching co-ordinate outfit, avoid mixing the same pattern from head to toe. For example stripes from head to toe, or a polka dot dress to polka dot shoes and accessories. Probably a striped shirt with a solid coloured pants/skirt and shoes paired with a striped bag without clashing colours of the stripes of the shirt, would be a smart idea to achieve the mixed pattern look. However mixing different scale of the stripes is also a good idea.

4. The patterns that you choose to mix should not compete with each other. For example in my outfit I had chosen bigger cheetah prints as compared to the size of the floral prints in the dress. Keep the number of patterns to a minimum of two, one being a little understated than the other.

5. Mixing a pattern with a different texture of cloth is also a great idea for mixed pattern look. For example a plaid shirt with a leather pant paired with a fur vest/jacket looks chic as well as bold and well put together.

6. For a casual yet cute look go subtle while mixing patterns. For example a leopard print shoes paired with a solid coloured outfit and a striped bag is a great idea.

Hope my my Pattern Mixing mantras are useful for you.

Until next time keep it stylish....keep it functional.

Love

Berry Plaid

 Hello Lovelies,

Hope you guys had an awesome weekend! I went back to my hometown for the weekend with my husband. As the weather is changing now, I would suggest everyone to keep themselves warm and immune their system with loads of "vitamin C" coz my sweetheart had caught viral fever and I had caught a little infection. It's thanks to the timely antibiotics that we are fine now. I still believe that prevention is better than cure. This inspired me to take my light winter essentials out of the winter cupboard. I love this Grey top that I had bought a few years back, which has a Georgette front and a Woollen back and full sleeves. It is flowy and woollen, thus providing me the right amount of warmth that I may need in this weather in the evenings. This pair of Berry colour based Tartan/Plaid leggings is the hero of my otherwise neutral top and the blush faux leather vest. I believe a pop of colour is what it takes to put life into any outfit. Hence co-ordinated my lip colour with the berry plaid legging. As I have mentioned earlier, my love for ankle booties/boots here, Fedoras are also my favourite this season. It just adds elegance and femininity to your look. My go-to accessory to flaunt this Fall/Winter with any outfit.
Hope you liked this outfit pairing. I would love to hear from you how do you wear your plaids (in what form? a skirt, a dress, a shirt....) and how do you style it.
Thank you for stopping by..... until next time keep it stylish...keep it functional...
Lots of Love

OOTN Date Night

Happy Sunday!!

I hope you are having a great weekend. Today this post is all about, as the title suggests, what I wore for a Date Night with my Husband. It is one of my most favourite Dresses that I own till date. I love how it fits me like a glove and yet has a comfortable relaxed feel to it. The deep navy blue colour exudes a very simple, subtle, composed and elegant look of the dress which adds to the sophistication of the Lace element to a next level.To accessorize, a pair of black shoes and a clutch with a golden choker and rings were just what i needed to complete the look.
Hope you liked this OOTN (outfit of the night). Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your weekend.
Until next time...keep it stylish ... keep it functional.
Lots of Love
Anie.
