Office Wear Kurti- OOTD ft. Triveni Ethnics

Think 'Work Wear' and a wardrobe consisting mainly of western formals such as shirts, trousers and skirts n blazers will only come to your mind. Business Suits have been the common workwear for majority of working women in the past. But for the ones, who are not likely to change the way they dress in 'comfortable' ethnics, the good news is that Kurtis have been adapted at most workplaces to create smart professional look these days. The trend of stylish kurtis is fast catching up across the nation, all thanks to decently crafted designs which are high on trend as well as comfort.

The best thing about kurtis is that the wearer can experiment in endless ways to customize everyday look due to ample choices in cuts, patterns and fabrics. The beauty of styling a smart office wear kurti is that you can never go wrong! Just make sure to be mindful of the kind of workplace that you are working at. There is no exception to this rule and one can seek a great many choices to match the one’s personal fashion sensibilities.
Since there is no strict dress code at my workplace, I recently got myself a tail-cut kurti for workwear for the first time with a hesitant feeling of its acceptance due to its length, fit etc. I decided to go for minimal accessories but only a timepiece on my wrist. And I'm delighted to share that my attire got me many 'thumbs ups'.

 

Today, when I wore the same kurti again, I thought of sharing a quick cheat-sheet on how to choose and flaunt officewear kurtis gracefully-

Dos 

• Choose the fits that are comfortable. A body-shape friendly fit will facilitate easy stretching and won't interfere in free movement of your body during work.
• The embroidery or patterns should be very subtle. You should make the selection minutely so that the outfit gives you an elegant and sophisticated look. 
• Choosing the fabric of the kurti is as critical as other aspects like fit n stitch. The fabric should help to regulate body temperature, especially for the humid season when the days break with an atmosphere charged with sweltering heat. The flowy and breezy fabrics like Cotton, Georgette, Chiffon, Voile are more breathable & can be worn round the clock for long office hours.

Don'ts

• The designs should not be too revealing to distract colleagues and attract negative attention.  
• Avoid looking overdressed at work. Not wearing blingy accessories and ditching heavily embellished clothes is the key!
• Do not opt for an in-vogue attire that doesn't fit your body frame. 
• One can afford to be a clumsy dresser at office, so play with your look only when you're safest player at enhancing your inherent beauty. Don't wear jazzy or gaudy clothes that makes you look out of the place at a sophisticated corporate environment.

To leave a positive impact on everyone at work, always make smart choices....because -

"you are what you wear."

Casual Hoodie from WSDear - OOTD

Hi Everyone

I'm back with an OOTD after really really long. Recently I ordered a casual hoodie from WSDear for my go-to look because I always prefer comfort over fashion. And at times, it's a good change to see myself in loosely-fitted clothing different from curvy, figure-hugging outfits.

Here's how I paired the Korean Ulzzang Casual Hoodie Zipper Hooded with print jeggings. 

The hoodie has nice detailing of diagonally adjusted copper-toned buttons and zipper in the front. Pockets are must-have in my casual wears, so I liked the hoodie for its stuff-sacks on both side.

The fabric is ultra-light and it has fleece on the inner side, so the hoodie is ideal for fall winter season.

I ordered the hoodie in Size M as I was skeptical of their sizing, it's bit bigger on my lean body type. But I can always layer it on the top of another piece of clothing underneath during cold winters to make it fit better ;) 

Hoodie: WSDear
Jeggings : Local Market
Bag : Koovs
Footwear : Limeroad
Eyewear : Won in a contest ;)
On Lips : Soultree

I'm ready to shop some more trendy yet economical clothing from WSDear store online for upcoming summer season. 

My Love Affair With Sarees : In association With Sareez.com

Most Indian women love flaunting their beauty in an elegant saree on different occasions. When I wear a saree, its like defining my style to the world and let my saree do the talking. The grace of a saree is not in its pattern or fabric, but how elegantly you carry it makes all the difference. I'm always mesmerized by the look that this unstitched length of cloth creates for me.. The quintessential nature of a saree simply lets me enjoy the luxurious richness when I walk down the parade... For my eternal love affair with sarees, I'm always looking for charming sarees that suit my mood and taste. To make the best of this season, I shopped from one of the most popular Indian ethnic wear online store Sareez.com..

Why Sareez.com?
Having a multitude of choices from so many shopping portals, landing onto a perfect place to buy Indian attire has been a task. But I loved the fact that Sareez.com specializes in not only sarees (unlike its name), but also had wide range of Kurtis, Lehangas, Suits, Gowns and much more for women.
There is a separate kids wear section where you may find traditional dresses for your little princess as well.

Those who think that this store is meant for women would be pleasantly surprised to know that Sareez.com offers great variety of menswear too, that includes Kurtas, Sherwanis, Turbans, Mojri, Waistcoast, Blazers etc. So the whole family can sit together and have fun making purchases here.
Most of the times, when I buy sarees online, I get the blouse and petticoat stitched myself after I receive the ordered stuff. But on sareez.com, I just filled in a form to give my measurements and received the custom-made blouse stitched for me with fine stitching, fitting and detailing. If you wish, you may stylized your garment with pretty borders, laces or latkans available on the site itself.
Thumbs up for the excellent service!!

My experience:
My first choice while buying a garment/outfit for myself is always something in classy black color. There are times when I manage to resist my temptation, but generally I end up buying it in desire to make a statement at social gatherings. So again, I felt attracted towards this Black and Thulian Pink Bhagalpuri Silk Saree. The saree appealed me with its zari thread, resham thread, floral work, leaf work, keri work and patch patti border work. The well-fit blouse and petticoat with neat finishing came along within the pack. The saree has seriously added the zing to my wardrobe...

I decided to create an OOTD with this handpicked saree with minimal accessories to steal the glances ;)

I would sum up saying that my distinct craze for sarees is never ending and its increases my glamour quotient while staying rooted to the traditional wear of a rich-cultured nation :)

OOTD in Exuberant Saree from Triveni.com

The time has come to adorn yourself in beautiful ensembles for festive season. An Indian beauty deserves to style herself in traditional dressing to redefine the aura of her femininity. 

For me, this festive season is most awaited time of the year because while I am overloading my shopping bags with some lovely outfits, makeup and  accessories for different occasions, I get to buy one extra for my b'day too that adds to my festivity ;) So this year, when my b'day is just around the corner, I had been desperately looking for a charming piece of ethnic attire that is elegantly wearable with not much embellishments; be it a pair of salwaar kameez, saree or even a kurta paired with leggings. Luckily, I got an invite from triveniethnics.com to do an outfit post and I instantly grabbed the chance ...

Triveni envisions a world where Grace, Dignity and Identity are expressed through the vibrancy of ethnic apparel. With a mission to enable & inspire every individual to experience, understand, respect and explore cultures through personal experiences of ethnic apparels, Triveni presents a blend of sarees, lehangas, suits, kurtis, gowns, jeans and accessories for fashionable women. Hey! the Menswear and Kidswear have also secured an essential place on this portal.

Now, coming back to what I chose to dress myself in... Sarees are one of the most sensuous and appealing attire for women and I adore them so much. Nothing matches the charm of a woman clad in a majestic appeal of a saree. After so much of brain storming on what fabric, pattern, color can help me flaunt the beautiful side of me; I zeroed upon a pretty half-n-half saree.

This saree is in premium quality haux georgette fabric in my fav color theme. I can't tell you how much I love a combination of red, black and white in my outfits. There are many of my dresses in this combination in my wardrobe and now there is one more addition. ;) Infact the monochrome wavy print pattern includes those cute polka dots that took my breath away. Its for the first time I got to have polka dots in any of my saree. 

The intricate thread embroidery in the border with an eye-catching patch work on the front makes this saree really class apart. 

An array of glistening colors in the saree can dazzle any occasion, when you complete the look with tinkling bangles to complement your favorite ceremonial & festive saree. 

Draped in this saree with rich motifs and regal hues, I'm super happy that I chose an Indian garment that always remains in vogue.
