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

Polka meets Cold Shoulder

Hey all, it’s been over a week since I started blogging and thought it’s high time to post my first outfit look and share with you all my personal style. It’s a fashion blog, after all!😃  Before moving ahead, I would really like to thank you all for loving my work and appreciating it. For an introvert like me, blogging was not an easy decision. The fear of being judged or criticized and many other trivial things, overpowered my desire to be a blogger. But as they say “Follow your passion and don’t let anyone limit your dreams!”, I decided to take a step forward and wrote my first blog post, a month back. Ever since then things slowly started falling in place. I feel overwhelmed every time when someone drops me a text on my Snapchat, Facebook or Insta praising my work. Let me tell you guys, it gives me such a self confidence boost and motivates me to do better.💖  Although a week old, I am still new in blogging world and learning gradually the different aspects o...
