Today's outfit post was supposed to be posted almost a month ago, but somehow I never got around to editing the pictures. Well, better late than never I suppose.
If you live in Mumbai, you probably travel a lot by public transport. Unless your a Millionare. Or you have super wings that nobody knows about and fly to work. Or you have the patience of a saint in the city's traffic.I currently use pretty much all the top ways to travel in this city (read train, bus, walking, auto, etc etc). Trains usually have people of all classes traveling together, and many of my friends ask me how I can stand the stares when I wear slightly revealing clothes on the train or the bus. Well, a little bit of smart dressing can help imho. If you travel using public transport and dont want people to give you the "what on earth is she wearing" or "man that's too much skin" look, just use that layering trick we all hear about. No, we can't all have personal bodyguards to protect our modesty, but then, that's why we have tons of coverups no?




I love this little dress/tunic thing but I always fret about the length. One way I wear it (whenever I'm not taking the car) is to pair it with leggings/tights. A cropped jacked covers the arms and you end up with a totally public approved look. Loose the jacked and tights when you get there, and you're all ready for that pool party you've been dreaming about for weeks.





How do you tackle the "Wear what I want" vs "Wear what people want" dilemma? Tell me in the comments below. You can also find me on FACEBOOK!

Remember when I did a review of the Elabore store a few weeks back? How I was highly impressed with their collection and promptly made a wishlist! Well, I received an order from them a few days ago and felt it was only fair to do a review of their customer care and delivery.

So the folks at Elabore Store were kind enough to send me a scarf to review. I didn't know which one they were sending, but I'm quite happy with the one I got. I don't usually go for bold graphic prints in scarves, preferring to use them to add pops of color to everyday outfits so this piece was a welcome addition. When I saw this print, I had a vision of pool parties (I do seem to dream of water a lot these days don't I!) and wearing it as a sarong. So that's exactly how I styled it!

The first thing I noticed when I opened the gorgeous gift wrapping (yay!) is that its exactly like the pictures on the site. This is important when it comes to colored/printed items as some sites don't show the actual color which leads to disappointment. Thankfully the people at Elabore Store deliver everything that's written on the box, and then some.

Delivery was fairly quick and I received it in three days from the date of ordering. Talk about quick huh!? Oh, and it came in this pretty wrapping paper. If you didn't know already, they provide gift wrapping service for no extra cost! Yay!! Solves all you're gifting problems right?! Anyway, I shall let the outfit do the talking about how pretty the scarf is!









I would definitely shop from here again. They have some truly unique pieces and their services are quite good. Have you bought anything from them? Yes? Tell me in the comments about you're experience.
