Hello folks! We're on Wednesday and that means we've got some new style answers for your workwear woes! (wow that sentence has a lot of 'W's'). If you've been around long enough, you know I'm all for making a single piece work different ways and I think a lot of people have pushed the casual jumpsuit at the back of their closet when they're working cos they just don't know how to style it. Well we've got you covered girl! Today's look is all about bringing the casual jumpsuit out from the mothballs during the week and wearing it with comfort and style to that corporate meeting!



To create this look, all you need are some workwear basics I'm sure you already own. I paired my printed casual jumpsuit (that you've probably already seen if you're following me on Instagram) with a classic black blazer (which can be style in only a million ways like This, This or This) and a pair of classic pumps. Bear in mind that although I'm styling the jumpsuit with a stiletto heel, this outfit works just as well with a flat or a kitten heel or any heel you'd like.

The makeup is simple (cos well I don't know how to do fancy makeup to be very honest) and since we're right at the start of the monsoons here in India, I styled it for bonus with a monochrome umbrella (this is expensive but honestly it's survived through endless storms!). The jumpsuit is actually a very casual material and fit (it has a drawstring front people!!) but that's easily fixed to create a more polished look with a simple statement belt. Not only does it give you some structure and shape, it also helps distract people from the extra large burger you ate at lunch by highlighting your natural waist (Style Tip: slide it casually along your body to your tiniest part as the food baby starts piling on :P )



And that's your weekend wardrobe, going to the office, just like that!!

Oh, and because I've used a jumpsuit with a loud print that people have trouble styling on the weekends too, I've got two more looks for you that are a bit more casual and laid back...just in case you need to breathe some fresh life into your weekend wardrobe too!

So its been about ten days of madness and I haven't been able to do anything other than think and breathe medicines and hospitals. This little outfit is what I wore last week when my mom was in the hospital and I was busy running errands. Denim is the easiest thing to wear when you don't know your work hours, and when its a denim overall, its totally awesome. Read, no need to look for a matching top!! Sold!!

I also think this is a cool way to welcome autumn, okay...erm...its still raining here so technically, its still summer/monsoon down here, but, a girl can hope right? I paired this with a simple crop top and heels. Although I have to be honest, these had come off in a couple of hours and were replaced by my trusty kicks.

Okay, so this is becoming a little bit of an obsession now. I have been wearing a lot of my only mint item and dreaming of when I find the time and money to go shop for some more. Now I've seen quite a few bloggers do a little roundup of how they wear the same item different ways. So I thought, for my selfish sanity atleast, I could do the same, a look at three different ways I've worn mint in recent times.


Also, one of my favorite bloggers celebrated her birthday this week! (I can't believe how much you miss when your University jams your phones and your practically living there!) So here's a little shout out to the lady with amazing style, Martyne Hillman, of Going The Extra Style. Happy birthday girl! I love how we always end up talking about you wanting my hair! (I still wanna live in your wardrobe!) You should definitely give her blog a lookover if you wanna see some amazing style and funny writing! Have a great year ahead Martyne!! xx

Have you heard of Abba? My parents are both big fans of the group and I've grown up listening to lots of songs from the 80s and 90s. This means that I'm also a fan of the fashion trends from that era. As these have been making a comeback recently, I figured I might aswell use this as a chance to wear one of my favorite inspirations.

Looking through the window. Thats the inspiration of Anushka Khanna's line. And she delivers. She gives us everything from beautiful dawn to dusk shades, birds to windowpanes and even city and country skylines. I'm hard pressed to find even one garment that I didn't like because it was a beautiful story. A story told on the runway and it won't be the same story if I leave even a single piece out of it. But your you, I'm gonna try and narrow down my favorites.
