And more denim…

everyday style, fashion, Flat lay

Another no think pull it all together quick look for a casual day out, where you want to look just that bit put together is this all denim look. Mid wash jeans in a comfort fit, a soft denim shirt, roll the legs up to expose your ankles, roll the sleeves up to your elbows. These are old, old clothes I’ve had forever but never tire of, although by merit they should have been handed their golden watch and sent into the happy vales of retirement by now.

I prefer to combine denim with brown and tan accents, and that’s what I’ve done here. Add a tan rough stitched belt, a pair of high shoes, and a structured brown bag and you’re good to go. Yes, this is a laptop bag that I end up using as a regular bag most times–because I don’t ever work on a laptop–blame it on the dinosaur I’m, or the klutz I am, end up dropping it, spilling stuff on it, leaving it behind most times. After having lost a couple of laptops in the distant past, I now steer clear of them gadgets outside of the house, except for my phone, which I soon hope to be able to do without too, and switch to an ancient clam shell, push button version, so to finally get offline when I’m offline.

What is your go to full denim look?

As pullover season fades away

everyday style, fashion, Flat lay

A simple light cable knit pullover from H&M, soft old broad leg denims from Old Navy, so old actually that the Old in the name is actually God’s own truth, tan wedge heels that are good for running around while giving me the precious few added inches that I need, and a small white bag of indeterminate ancestry because I’ve had it forever and ever. This is a look that works in a rush for a casual evening out, and is comfortable and practical. Keeping the palette neutral and pastel works. The make up stays low key for this one–light brown liner and a nude lipper.

Don’t grudge me this last ditch bid to pretend that we have a winter in Mumbai.
