Get Fancy With Recycling | Saree Got A Makeover

Get fancy with Saree
It’s not every day that your inner bugs, set you on a wardrobe cleansing spree. Well, seems like I get hit by them quite often and that is just not limited to my own dresser drawers but eventually take all family members in the trap. Also, there is so much to explore and find fashion inspirations beyond your own territories. Or else, how do you think I styled my brother’s shirt in one of the past series? (click here to read)

Turn saree into a crop blouse.
So one fine day, I came across my mom’s beautiful silk green saree with little intricate prints, spread all over 9 yards. It was love at first sight. Obviously I never saw her donning it and knew it was just a piece of cloth that had no purpose to serve.

Old clothing often just sits in our wardrobes, taking up the space we could be using for clothing we actually wear. You might think of tossing it out or giving it away, but how often do you really have the motivation to revamp them in something purposeful. Also the fact that textile waste is rising at alarming rates (give credits to the dynamic trends in fashion), we all need to do our bit to save the green globe. 

Saree in a coat dress

Chic & Co.
As you all would know by now that I love customizing and designing my dresses. 
Hence, I decided to revamp the gorgeous green drape, in a two piece set, consisting of a crop blouse and a coat. The makeover turned out to be absolutely chic and stylish. 

Chic & Co.
I absolutely loved the two way utility of the dress. Style the crop blouse alone for places where you need a glam quotient in your outfit. 


            

Want to exude more polished vibes? Go grab that coat and style with your formal lowers for an added sophistication. 

     

Here in the shoot, I styled the two piece set with a black bodycon skirt to help them grab all the eyeballs.

💜 Styling tip: Pair a clothing element you wish to highlight, with neutral colors like black, beige, gray, ivory, taupe or white that helps in shifting attention to brighter color palettes.



I further paired red thread earrings to my look for a punch of quirk. Black high heeled peep toes gave it an overall clean and glam appeal.  


I must say the experiment did turned out well giving me some major fashion moment. So what's the wait girls? Hunt down the forgotten sarees resting in stacks and let your imaginations run wild. 
Much Love
Hina Rehan 💜

Fabindia Charcoal Face Pack Review

Swearing by my Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram feeds, I can definitely say that activated charcoal products have become quite a rage in recent times and everyone is going gaga over them for all the good reasons. Apart from its deep cleansing properties, activated charcoal also treats acne and reduce pore size. They are also widely used for removal of black and white heads. I have been using Fabindia’s products from quite a while now.😍They make some really good personal care items. My favorites being Tea Tree Skin Toner , Rose Germanium Face & Body Gel Scrub , Haldi Chandan Mud Pack . Generally having a dry skin, my face tends to get oily at this time of the year when it’s all hot and humid. I already have heard about  Fabindia Charcoal Face Pack  from my friends who have tried it. Pumped up by the amazing reviews, I decided to try it on, this summers. Having purchased somewhere around March, this was bought in use only by May. About  Fabindia ...

Basic skincare routine in your early 20s

Why a beauty regime in my 20s, when my skin is young and healthy naturally!

Lipstick Affair : My Top Favorite Everyday Lipsticks

Hello loves! Hope monsoon is treating you all good. Let us all admit! When it comes to makeup, nothing excites us more but a Lipstick! I can definitely say that this one makeup product alone has all the power to define and rule your personality. What shade you are sporting can make or break your day and emotions too. Lipsticks are that disguised bff of ours who elates our mood in moments of distress! It does in my case at least 😁. They are just not a product they are investments, investments for our happiness (if that makes sense😜). I have been asked a lot many times over my Snap chat or Instagram as well as in person about different lip colors that I wear in day to day life. So there I thought why not to share with you all some of my favorite lip colors. The products that I am sharing here are a mix of drugstore and high end brands. I am a matte obsessed person and love to invest only in products that stay on for longer duration. Also I love to experi...
