Chiconomical

Yes. I know this isn't really green in the true sense. But there was a slight confusion over the colors for the day. So I decided to wear something that would appease all part involved. Also, I'm currently in a rush since I'm (can you believe it?) going dancing! So this post has to be short!

This dress belongs to one of my very stylish cousins who is always on trend with her Indian wear. She passed this on to me after her marriage and I've treasured it over the years. I added the earrings and bangles (how cool are they!) and wore my glasses because my eyes basically kept spitting out my lenses. I still love how 'Indian geek' this looks! :P

Oh yes! It was a white Monday! I decided I'd go traditional for the day since it is a fairly colorful festival (no, mum had nothing to do with it, honest!). I paired basics that you can find in any Indian girl's wardrobe with a statement piece, aka my fabulous Anushree Reddy scarf! I have to say, I was totally floored by all the compliments I got for this scarf!! You may remember it from my post on Anushree Reddy's collection at Lakme Fashion Week. (If not, you can refresh your memory here).

I added these earrings from yesterday again (thank you so much Martyne!!) since I felt they went well with the whole gold, white and pink theme I had going on. All in all, an outfit that I'm extremely happy with, and one which you can replicate easily with things you already have in your wardrobe!

You can never go wrong with a little black dress...A little black dress will always be your friend. This surprisingly applies to all forms that a 'dress' can take. Even the Indian version of 'dress' aka, the Punjabi dress. I love how vibrant this dress looks when I wear it. Its such a beautiful marriage of prints and fit that everytime I wear it, it makes my heart sing.






This was originally my mum's dress, which I altered to fit me. I love the gorgeous dupatta that goes with it and how it doesn't need a lot of work to stand out. The block print makes it unique and while every other girl in the city is in a Punjabi dress, I feel its how you wear your dress that makes you stand out, even if your wearing the same print. (Although it does help, that this particular one is quite unique)

All pretty girls wear pink. That's what you hear when your kids, and that's just what Soumitra's collection represented. Only, you don't need to be a little girl to wear pink. This collection shows that you can be a lady and still rock pink.

Rich ornate style is the norm of Indian festivals. And its also the running theme in Payal Singhal's collection. Styles that can translate well from festivals to weddings with their gorgeous blend of bright yellows, deep reds and royal blues.
Take a look at my top picks that can be worn to almost any Indian function:

Anushree Reddy was my favorite designer on day 2. And not just because she gave us goodie bags! Yes, it was my first ever goodie bag at a designer show, but that doesn't bias me. She is probably the designers I would call if I wanted a pretty pink girlie-girl princess wedding. Yes, her designs are amazing enough to awaken the girl who just wants to get married side of me.

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.
