No More Print Shaming!

Wearing prints from the same colour family are so last season and since its 2016 I believe, fashion has emerged in a new and more refined way. In this era people would do anything to put a stop at the stereotypes and go out of their way to stop all the 'shamings' that they have previously encountered by  doing blog posts, posting videos, pictures etc. So here I am to stop print shaming. 

So, what is basically print shaming and why people are oppose to the idea of trying completely different prints in different colours? It's basically because we would end up looking fat and bigger than our true size. However isn't the idea of fashion to play with different patterns, prints, fabrics, styles, design and accessories? So, I don't know why people are oppose to the idea of trying different prints in different colours and patterns! If you are worried about prints making you look bigger than what you are try different accessories to divert the attention from the large print and making your whole look proportioned and balance.

Check out my pictures below to let me know about what you think about my mixing of two different prints in completely different colours. I opted for dotted pajamas and check print top.

If you are heavy in the top just like me, divert the attention away from your prints by opting for big top handle structured bag in light colour. I opted for beige top handle structured bag from Aldo. 

As I have mentioned accessories are key element in your outfit that could do wonders and even make you look lean, try unexpected colours when it comes to accessories. Go for lighter accessories if your prints look darker. Wear light colour accessories on or near the narrowest part of your body! For example since my hips are narrowest part of my body I went for powder blue shell cuff bracelet to divert the attention away from my print and make my body look proportional.

Blending your accessories with your print is also the trick to be fashion forward and lean..... Go for accessories with colours that are similar to your prints. Not necessarily you have to go for same colour accessories as your printed separates but wear something that blends naturally. It's a trick to make the prints look surprisingly good. I opted for light green statement necklace which blends with my printed top

In my outfit there are not three or four but six colours (black, brown, beige, powder blue, Crimson, light green) and they surprisingly blends making me look leaner and proportional. The trick is not in the prints, cuts, shapes and silhouette but on the accessories that are adorned which executed well.

Let me what you think about my outfit!

Head To Toe Purple

Purple symbolises nobility and today I went for head to toe purple. It was just like any other day and it's been a long time I don't wear knee length dresses. So, the first thing that I picked out from my messy wardrobe was a purple dress with drapes near its waist.

Here are 6 reasons to love a purple knee length dress.

It is elegant and the colour makes anyone standout. No matter what your skin colour is this shade of purple is a striking colour. It is mostly suited for people who are brown to dark skinned.

It surprisingly makes bright accessories to stand out.  What I did was add an element of surprise to my purple dress: statement long necklace.

It doesn't require putting much effort. I decided to apply no make up and only lip balm. It worked wonderfully. The colour grabs the attention and so less attention is given to your face.

You can go for matchy shoes. I went for matchy shoes knowing that it wouldn't look trashy. Matching accessories are hard to pull off and it takes a lot of guts to go for this trend. However this shades of purple in solid colour keeps you safe and fabulous.

Knee length is perfect length and you can get away with this length from church to groceries, to date to parties and almost everywhere.

Solid purple colour gives you confidence and you can go for mismatched accessories. A rich colour like this one had boost my confidence and I went for silver cuff and antique bracelet in crimson.

Look Of The Week: Meeting His Parents

Hello!!! Fashionholics! 

It's weekend! Starting today every Saturday I am going to bring Look of the week. 

What you are going to find here is an easy solution to what you would be wearing to a particular occasion, event, on weekend or just on a casual day. 

So, today, "my look of the week" is.......drumroll.....drumroll......."Meeting His Parents" 

So, many of us who are meeting our date's parents have encountered this situation of fretting over whether to go conservative or dress up according to what your boyfreind thinks is right. Well, some of us would go extreme and dress up like plain Jane to impress his parents. On the other hand there are rest of us who do not care about whatever people think and would bring out the inner diva by opting for something unexpected! So, what happens in the end either we end up being overdressed or underdressed.

 Do not fret it's time to take the matter in our hands and bring about a permanent change in the way we all dress up when meeting his parents. 

So, I take it as a challenge to come up with a style solution for all the Fashionholics out there.

So, the first question you ask.........

Should I go for conservative?

My answer: Yes, but with a touch of modernism

Second question you ask.......

Should I go for trend or basic?

My answer: Balancing both

Your Third and final question might be......

What should I wear when I don't know how his parents are or what they prefer?

My answer: timeless pieces with a touch of your very own style statement.

So, I am here to give fashion advice to those of you who are invited to meet your boyfriend's parents for the first time. Well, the situation is pretty pressurized for those of you who do not know the place where you would be meeting them. 

So, my step by step fashion rules are: 

1. A timeless peasant style blouse in solid colour is perfect

2. Too many bracelets and accessories are distracting, so a big no no.

3. A statement necklace is a yes! Make sure it's not clashing with your top....you want it to be visible.

4. Since midi pencil skirts are feminine and conservative,it's an appropriate choice.

5. Mixing prints are fun! Go for a printed skirt and printed bag like this polka dot one below.

6. When choosing your shoe go for basic colour like black, white or brown in comfortable material 

7. If you are on the shorter side, prints that are vertical are mandatory for you ( check out the skirt below) 

8. To be on the safe side contrasting colour always works than clashing one like this yellow skirt and Crimson top.

9. Remember that platform elongates your leg and are comfortable to walk around.

10. Add your own style statement....it can be orange lips, polka dot bag, moto jacket...etc.

However if you are not a skirt person, go for dress pants, cigarette pants or even culotte, the trick is to balance one trendy item with a timeless one. Always go for heels until you know that the place you are going to meet them is an outdoorsy one. Finally the biggest and the most cliche fashion tip is known by all of us....it's to be yourself and smile. 

So, this was the very first look of the week....hoping to hear from you soon. Let me know what you like about this weeks "look of the week" and also what other "look of the week" you want me to blog about.
