Prints are really big this season. Well, in my wardrobe atleast. I remember a conversation with my cousin round about the time I started this blog where she was asking me to get some prints in my life. Yes, my wardrobe consists mostly of block colored outfits that I like to layer with crazy accessories. She on the other hand is a big fan of prints and is one of the key reasons why I'm playing with prints now.

Flowers on my clothes always seem to remind me of flowy curtains or motherly bedsheets. I've never been a big fan of them on my clothes. The fact that I even bought a pair of shorts that had flowers on them is surprising to me. Frankly, I couldn't resist how soft and comfy they looked and since I was stocking up for summer in the midst of a surprising cold spell, I guess it was a case of wishful thinking.

Boy am I glad I bought these! They've filled a major void in my wardrobe. They're printed, a decent length, comfy, fitted, oh, and they're from Asos. I wear them all the time when I'm home and they've been through the washer a few times already, without any damage to the print. Definite plus for me!

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.









Do you like dressing up in outfits reminiscent of a past era? What outfits do you like from the yesteryears? Talk to me about them in the comments below. You can also talk to me in various other ways mentioned in the Contacts section above! 

I wrote my last post (you can read it here) about dressing for girls who don't want a Marilyn Monroe moment when they're out and about town (that's quite a real possibility thanks to the windy rains we've been seeing!). Here's another way to dress along those lines.
I bought this playsuit last year before a trip to Goa with the family. While I haven't really worn it much after because mom's not really a big fan of it, its a pretty good outfit to wear on a casual Saturday. (Although living in India means anything this short will earn you lots of stares, but oh well).




The playsuit has tie up straps on top, which means you could easily throw this on over a swimsuit without much fuss(major selling point when you're dreaming of beaches). The little bow at the waist is just a cute little touch. I kept the look simple because I can't stand the heat that is follows heavy rains! Do you have those times when your travelling during rains and everything's drenched, then it stops and you've got a sticky, icky feeling? Please tell me you do!

Anyway, that's it for today. You can go through my old outfit posts here. You can show me your favorite summer outfits by sharing them with me on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest or Bloglovin! You could also share your links in the comments below! I love hearing from you! 

Anything with polka dots and pretty bows makes me feel instantly girly. Here's a little sneak peek into my affair with polka dots!

This clutch is my go to for weddings because I can't be bothered with fancy ones when I have to worry about wedding wear (but more on that later)! And black goes with everything doesn't it? DOESN'T IT?!?  Anyway, stay tuned to see the entire outfit. Till then, if you aren't already doing it, you can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest or Bloglovin!
