STYLE DECODED | T-SHIRT + PENCIL SKIRT


The fashion world is constantly overflowing with new trends, different styles, prints, patterns, colours and oh what not. Isn't it just too hard to keep up with everything? I know, it's a task. Hence making it simple for my lovely readers here is a new section for you guys STYLE DECODED. This new section will offer you styling tips, how to mix match trends, how to wear different styles and a lot more. Keep an eye on this section for your style fix.

This week's feature on STYLE DECODED are casual tee's and the very chic pencil skirts. Pencil skirts have always been looked upon as formal clothing and something that a lady would wear to work. They are indeed a classic chic piece and  look extremely sexy but lets agree to it, we have almost always ditched our pencil skirt for a mini or a maxi one wanting to keep it casual. But do it no more, team up your pencil skirts with your casual t-shirts and give them a casual yet classy look. Here are some ways to style your pencil skirt keeping it casual:

MAKE A STATEMENT 


Make a statement with SLOGAN T-SHIRTS and STATEMENT NECKLACE. This is a cool and classic combination that brings together two all time wardrobe classics: the TEXT TEE and PENCIL SKIRT. A statement necklace is just what you need to add on to the chic-ness of this look. You can wear this outfit to a lunch or a casual event. Throw on a leather or a denim and jacket and complete the look with a pair of high heels. You can also wear this outfit to work, just replace that jacket with a blazer and you are good to go.

KEEP YOUR CASUAL COOL


Just hanging out with your girlfriends but still want to look fabulous? Bored of your usual look with the same old denims? Want to look different? Dig that pencil skirt out of your wardrobe and team it up with a loose CROPPED T-SHIRT.  You can even KNOT UP your normal TEE as a substitute to the crop top. BLING IT UP with a long chain and complete the look with a pair of booties. Throw a jacket or an over sized sweater over it if you can't fight the chills. 

ANOTHER NIGHT OUT


This version of the tee and pencil skirt combination is my favorite. A SEQUIN PENCIL SKIRT seems like a must have in every girl's wardrobe after looking at these outfit ideas. Teaming up a T-shirt with a sequin skirt seems just right as it tones down the bling with it's casual-ness. This is the perfect combination of SEXY and COOL. I am totally obsessing over this one and cannot wait to get my hands over a black sequin pencil skirt.

Hope you guys enjoyed the post. Let me know in the comments below what do you think about this STYLE TREND. 

Until next time STAY FABULOUS!

HOW TO GET THE BOHO CHIC LOOK








 So when I was asked to style a Boho Chic look as a part of my assignment at FAD International, India with LCS (London College Of Style) I had a lot going on my mind. I looked up for references and inspirations like the Olsen twins as you can say I am totally obsessed with their style, the reason why I had a whole blog post dedicated to them. In the process I realized that bohemian is all about embracing your own personality. Every Boho chic look has individuality to it. There are no rules of getting a Boho Chic look right. Bohemian style may be described as a trend with certain looks to follow, but it's really all about following your own inspirations.

About the look: While styling this look minimalism was what I kept in mind as I wanted to style a much wearable boho chic look. I pulled this outfit from mine and a friend's wardrobe. A pleated skirt with a tint of orange that stops just above the ankle and a white crop top seemed just the right combination. Fitted clothes don't really go well with bohemian style, so flowy silhouettes are the right choice. I used minimal accessories, a colorful stoned chain and just one earring that gives the whole look a not so perfect finish. The John Lennon vintage glasses just added on to the look making it look quite hipster. For shoes I chose cheetah print sneakers, something that not many would expect (aren't those pink laces just too adorable?). And that was the whole point of this look, to be a lot more individualistic, original and to not be perfect. As I believe "Life does not have to be perfect to be beautiful".
