Dungarees 101: How To Rock Dungarees

Dungarees 101: How To Rock Dungarees

Hi guys,

Today’s post is quite different, it is not the usual OOTD post, but a post dedicated exclusively to Dungarees. Let me tell all about dungarees, the history, how to dress it up, dress it down.

Starting with the history of dungarees, they have been around since the late 1700’s. Dungarees were worn by farmers, slaves and the likes since they were inexpensive and not prone to easy tear but also carried a stigma of low status for the same reason. Women started wearing them during World Wars coz it was the perfect material for those working in factories. They came back in fashion in the 40’s and 50’s starting with children wear and since then, they have been quite famous and IN and OUT of fashion.

Dungarees are back again in fashion and they come in different types and styles, from shorts to skirts to trousers style, denim style, suspenders, ripped denims, etc. They can be paired in a million ways and can be dressed up or dressed down. Dungarees are easy to wear and super comfortable. See a lot of dungarees here on StalkBuyLove.com

Although they have always mostly been associated with casual style, today I am showing you how I dress up my basic black dungarees for a formal, evening look!

Also we shot this small lookbook 🙂

Dungarees 101: How To Rock Dungarees, Indian Fashion Blogger, Outfit of the Day, Dungarees for evening formal wear

I am wearing this basic, black trouser style dungarees with a simple white crop top and dressed it up with my trusted black blazer and nude heels. I added a pop of colour with this pastel pink Kate Spade bag. My current favourite wood watch from Jord watches completes this look!

I love the look and feel of the wood watch, they work with both casual and formal wear and look quite unique. Jord watches have free shipping worldwide, they customize the watch for your size and have 1 year warranty. Do check out the site mentioned above to see more of their pieces.

Of course, we can’t forget the casual way when it comes to dungarees. I am wearing this denim skirt dungarees in a fun, casual way with a white cap, the ‘Rose Chic’ rose pink back pack and holographic silver shoes. The white tee has red sequin heart on the elbows 🙂

I wear my heart on my elbow 😀

This is more of a ‘Back to School’ kind of look and it was so much fun shooting this.

OOTD: Casual Half Tuck Military Green Shirt

OOTD: Casual Half Tuck Military Green Shirt

Hi guys,

A new OOTD post today. It was our first wedding anniversary on Sunday and we went to the Rivergate Resort in Karjat. I can’t believe it’s been one year, I have no idea where time is flying, the year was mixed actually. The first half of the first wedding year went into the accident, recovery and the repercussions. It is very, very difficult to get out of it mentally more than the physical recovery. I still fear crossing roads, still mind my every step and over cautious about everything. The accident nightmares every night don’t let you sleep.

Anyhoo, it’s gone and done now. I want to start my 2nd wedding year like it’s the first year and it’s a fresh start 🙂 We shifted to a new place and everything is new. I hope we can keep things happy happy. I was wearing this casual military green shirt half tucked that day and I shot this outfit.

I paired the shirt with my blue Forever 21 denims and my favourite nude brogues. I kept the overall look very simple and my new Michael Kors navy blue sling bag and the rose gold watch completed the look.

Shirt: StalkBuyLove
Denims: Forever21
Bag, Watch: Michael Kors
Shoes: Footin

On my lips: L’Oreal Paris Infallible Lipstick in Forever Fuchsia

I hope you liked the outfit, do let me know in the comments below 🙂

OOTD: Black Striped Shirt Dress, Silver Loafers

OOTD: Black Striped Shirt Dress, Silver Loafers

Hi guys,

I wore this to the LYN #ShadesOfGrey launch on Tuesday at the Taj Mahal Tea House in Bandra. I love stripes and shirt dresses are my current favourite.

This was the perfect combination of both, while I loved the same dress in white which was anyday more smart but white being see through, I had to go for black. Only problem with shirt dresses I always face is if I go for a bigger size so that the buttons sit properly at the bust, it’s quite loose overall and if I go a size smaller and it’s perfect overall, it always stays a bit open at the bust :/ Sigh. I know a double tape can solve that problem but with this dress, it was just not staying stuck! Also it comes with the matching cloth belt which can help you give the straight fit dress some definition. Sadly the dress is a bit short when you sit, taller girls can wear it like a shirt, I will add leggings the next time.

Anyhoo, coming to this gorgeous silver loafers which I absolutely love but totally hate coz they gave me my life’s worst shoe bites ever! I was in terrible pain and couldn’t even walk, just when my leg got twisted and my right operated leg got a jerk 🙁 It was paining terribly for an hour and then while walking and climbing stairs. The pain is less in the mornings but by night it increases, I hope it heals soon!

So I paired this black shirt dress with silver loafers and this nude Accessorize clutch, it has metallic gold accents which I love! The theme was grey and I had worn a casual grey t-shirt dress before coz that was the only grey I had, but thankfully this dress arrived at the last moment coz I was at my mom’s place, this dress was a saviour!

OOTD: 80’s Frills Dress

OOTD: 80’s Frills Dress

Hi guys,

A new OOTD today, this week I attended the Grazia BeauTea Party at The Taj Mahal Tea House in Bandra. It was a small meet of 6-7 bloggers and the Beauty Editor and Art Director of Grazia India. It will be covered in next month’s Grazia magazine which is the ‘Beauty Special’, so do grab your hands on that 😀

Anyhoo, this is what I wore. I am loving this red frills skater dress, it is so so comfortable and the frills make it look super pretty. Also it was a common style in the 80’s and has made a comeback and why not when all the styles from 70’s and 80’s have 😀

I paired it with my black fringed sling bag and black and gold ankle strap sandals. Finished with my current favourite Michael Kors rose gold link watch.

OOTD: 3 Outfits I Wore Recently

OOTD: 3 Outfits I Wore Recently

Hi guys,

I am back with the 3 casual outfits’ post. See more HERE and HERE.

This time, I covered three outfits which I wore to events/meets recently.

Outfit 1:

It is the same outfit I wore HERE, this time with different accessories and bag. I love this floral midi skirt and since it has red roses, this red crop top matches perfectly with the skirt.

I paired it with a simple gold statement necklace and my Daniel Wellington watch. The highlight of this outfit is this beautiful Suede by Devina Juneja wristlet. The Shaded Ring Weave Wristlet is made with lightly hand-shaded leather in subtle gold and silver. I love the shaded ombre effect and the gold chain is perfect to replace your bracelet. It is easy to carry around and looks so pretty.

I wore this at the The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea Range launch recently. Did you guys see the vlog yet? Go HERE.

Crop top: HERE
Skirt: HERE
Watch: Daniel Wellington
Wristlet: HERE
Shoes: Shown HERE and HERE

On my lips: MAC Ruby Woo

Outfit 2:

The 2nd and 3rd are more casual ones, I am loving my new Levi’s 711 Skinny and living in them practically. I love how these are super comfortable. I always stayed away from skinny jeans coz I am neither thin nor tall for the skinny jeans to look good on me, Levi’s changed it all for me! I still can’t believe this skinny jeans not only flatters my body but make my legs look slender and nice. This is the first skinny jeans I absolutely love and they have other ranges like 311  Shaping Skinny and 312 Shaping Slim which look even more flattering and I can’t wait to try those.

I paired the skinny with my simple white tee and a black and beige Himachal print jacket. The jacket is currently on sale and only worth Rs.448/-! It is perfect for your dresses too and adds a light layer and keeps you warm. Since the entire look was more or less monochrome, I added a bright pop of color with my current favourite orange bucket bag. Bucket bags are back, ladies! I love how this bag is huge and fits my world in it (including my camera) and I carry it along comfortably. I love the orange and golden tassels hanged on the straps. The only thing is, I wish it came with a longer strap too, which usually comes with a bucket bag and makes it more convenient to carry. I finished the look with gold strappy flat sandals by Do Bhai from Myntra.

Denims: Levi’s
Watch: Daniel Wellington
Bag: StalkBuyLove
Tee: Marks & Spencer
Jacket: Oxolloxo
Sandals: Do Bhai (Myntra)

Outfit 3:

The third one is a simple, everyday outfit. A basic aztec print top with roll over sleeves, paired with Levi’s 711 Skinny again. I completed the look with a Daniel Wellington watch, black fringed bag and black studded ballerinas.

Denims: Levi’s
Watch: Daniel Wellington
Bag: StalkBuyLove
Top: Femella
Shoes: Steppings (From Fashion & You)

On my Lips: Oriflame The One Matte Lipstick in Pink Raspberry

I wore this outfit for the Asus Divas Meet recently at ITC Grand Central.

OOTD: 3 Casual Outfits (Part 2)

Hi guys,

Remember the 3 casual outfits I did last time (See HERE). I think it’s a nice idea to bring together some daily wear casual outfits and many of you liked the post, so I thought of continuing this series.

Here are another 3 casual outfits which I wore recently in an event or for a meeting or here and there..

Outfit 1:

The first outfit is this lovely blue,brown,white printed dress which has a tie-dye kind of effect. It comes with a belt which accentuates the waist and fits perfectly, also has a flare at the ends, love the way it falls. The dress is from Oxolloxo and it costs only Rs.518/- 😀 Steal, isn’t it? The sleeves are bell shaped and slightly long for me, I prefer folding them 🙂

I paired it with my black tasseled sling and tan brogues. For accessories, my favourite Daniel Wellington watch and layered silver dainty pieces.

One is my name pendant and the other is an infinity with love, both are from The Lieben Store on Instagram. Do check them out for some cute accessories. They have these small necklaces and rings to cute hair bands and wrist bands and a lot of other cute stuff.

Outfit 2:

Second outfit is this bright coral sheer shirt with metallic gold pointed collar clips.It is from a new Instagram store called ES Collection, they have simple but classic pieces and that can be customized to your size,also a lot of sizes are available. The best part is they are quite economical too.

I paired it with white straight fit pants and black studded ballets. My Daniel Wellington watch and MK Mini Selma sling completed the look.

I wore this outfit for a casual meeting. On my lips, I have the Maybelline Rebel Bouquet Lipstick in REB04 which matched perfect with the shirt co-incidentally.

I had this pretty white midi skirt with red roses print on it. I paired it with a red crop top from a red co-ordinates set and a vintage looking leaf statement necklace. My Daniel Wellington watch, MK sling and gold ankle strap heels completed the look.
