WORKING the work clothes

Dressing the Corporate way NOW has a different meaning to it. Your work clothes dont have to say BORING, they can now show your personality and still be within the "dress code regulations. Let me state this up front, i do not think a dress code could or would increase productivity. However, since it does exist, why not look cute while obeying the CODE.

Your clothes say everything about you and they also help you put your best foot forward. So here are some of the designs i see are India corporate appropriate.

This above look is for the casual fridays in heavily airconditioned offices.....Love the print on print concept.

I love this dress. Regardless of the body type i think the color, style and fabric will look good. And since its hot and humid in Mumbai we can do without the stockings. And for those with an active life you can exchange the close toe pumps with open toed ballerina shoes.

Classic look!!!

This is my favorite. The Kurta top with its tye dye effect is amazing and the little sequence collar. Love the trousers too as it has a lil sheen to it. This would be a gr8 transition outfit form day to night. All you need to do is change the makeup.

This one reminds me of the concept of color blocking. ill put up more to show you how color blocking can be used in office wear.

Similar pattern 2 piece is a very stylised way to dress. You have to be careful that the designs are not too similar where they end up looking like PJs, or 2 different where it looks like youre wearing pieces from diff ensembles.

I love this dress, looks very Mad Men-ish also with the cute pumps and great cut a perfect outfit for the workplace. And if your office has a dress code against sleeveless you can always team this up with a shrug or cotton lycra jacket however based on your body type the lenght of the jacket shud be adjusted. Also if this dress is made in dull colors that might wash you out , you might give a very preacher's wife vibe...

The Nude pumps are probably the best fashion investment u can make. Dont have one? GO out NOW and buy it. I saw a gorgeous pair at TresMode on miking rd bandra near mcdonalds....expensive as hell but felt like a dream wearing any of their shoes.

Im soon going to do Indian Office Wear.....Looking forward to sharing it with u lovelies....

Fashionista in me (and no i didnt eat her)

It's the season to be wetttt falala la la la la la la and one of the conciquences to the monsoons is a dull and dreamy atmosphere. It can get really difficult to get outta bed and going about your days work. Though my friend Megha seems to get very happy when it rains. However, if youre the first kind and the rains get you down a bit, this post is just for you.

When I want to combat the dull dreary weather, i dress in bright colours. So not only would a bright pink top make you feel a whole lot better but getting fun nail paints wouold do it to. Below are few of the colors im using this season and i just adore the Jordana nail colors. The bright purple also goes with fashion designers color pick for the next 3 months. Take a look!

The Token Fat Girl

Dressing the Fat

Shopping! wow ! let's gooooooo....this is generally any fashion concious persons response to a shopping spree....However, if youre overweight (and i dont mean healthy) finding clothes , let me re phrase, finding STYLISH clothes is a freaking miracle.

There are some really fun stores , but it makes me think that since my size is not easily available , maybe my actual standards of styles and quality are lowered and easily accepting. I do realize that in a city like ours making tailored clothes is an actual option and yes i do find myself constantly taking that route. However, cuts and working with lycra blends are not one of my tailors strengths.

When i go out , i'm definitely not the only obese person in the room, so why is it so difficult to find stylish clothes for us. And here im not gender biased, i think men and women both find this hard. It's easier to find God, then a good pair of well fitted low waist lycra blend trousers for someone with a waist line over 35".

 

And the majority of the clothes make me feel fatter, if that is even possible. I do believe that the right about of your "Goods" should be covered , like the tyres , back fat etc..... however a full sleeve , turtle neck , thigh length , thick cotton lycra in kaka brown is surely not the only option for a fat person.

Yes i have some great peices which work very very well for me, from places like ALL, XMEX and even AND. I once found gr8 buys at Forever Young! and French Connection, though that was a one time thing. I'll post a few pictures soon. So you can see what i'm talking about. The point is , there is this who target group that clothing line designers are missing out on. Hopefully someone will sit up and realise that!
