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. 



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 💜

The Face Shop – Real Nature Green Tea Face Mask Review

Hey Guys! Hope you all are having a good weekend. I have got a new skincare product review for you all. So, recently I got my hands on The Face Shop Real Nature Green Tea Face Mask. I have been a huge fan of Korean skincare products and rituals. Their products are a result of extensive research and innovations, with gentle ingredients and are really effective on skin.  The Face Shop   is a South Korean cosmetic brand which was launched in India, last year. They make their products from natural ingredients and oriental medicines and are quite popular among beauty enthusiasts around the globe. The Green Tea Face mask is a  thin fiber mask sheet that is soaked or rather say drenched in an essence with green tea extracts, suitable for sensitive and other skin types. It claims to clarify and soothe the skin irritated by environmental stressors along with making it supple and soft, giving it a refreshing feel. It does not contain any added parabens. You...

L'oreal White Perfect Range - Day Cream Review (Part 1)

Image courtesy: Chic & Co. I came across the L’oreal's White Perfect Day Cream on my hunt to find something that can reduce pigmentation and imparts even skin tone with instant glow. Products that claim “Fairer” or “Whiter” skin do not attract me generally, for I stand by the belief that every skin is simply beautiful in its own way but a radiating effect in a cream is what I always desire for. A night cream along with it was a planned buy as I was looking to include serums in my night care regime from long. Since them both came in a combo offer, it was worth a buy! It’s been 4 months I have been using both the creams and feel to have invested enough time to come out with a genuine review. I am only talking about day cream in this post, for night cream deserves attention of its own, which will be showered in the subsequent article. About L'oreal White Perfect Day Cream "Tested on Asian women, who claim to notice one drop in melanin block, the pro...

Sephora Pearl White Face Mask - First Impression & Review

Hi loves! Hope you all are doing great. With back to back dolling up sessions during all festivities, our skin suffers huge! My skin gets drier than normal, with flaky patches and no charm, demanding extra attention to be showered. I am a great fan of sheet masks for the fact that they carry the essence of luxury spa feels to be devoured at your comfort. Also as I am a big fan of Korean beauty rituals, masks make perfect sense to me for; they are highly moisturizing and imparts beautiful glow to skin. The Pearl Mask from SEPHORA Collection was an impulsive buy while I waited in a long queue at the checkout counter. After looking briefly at the selection of masks available, I grabbed the Pearl variant simply out of curiosity. I have used masks from other brands before and was excited to try this one. For the price it retails for (INR 400 per mask sheet) it ought to do me some good. This mask is supposed to be for perfecting and brightening. I definitely noticed a...
