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.

Birthday OOTD: Lace LBD

Birthday OOTD: Lace LBD

Hi guys,

So my birthday was on 22nd and I was in Jaipur that time, I just wanted to share my birthday outfit with you all.

I wore this lace little black dress from StalkBuyLove and paired it with everything gold. Also gold and black was appropriate for the Christmas and Party Season. I am so obsessed with this dress, I would have worn it for New Year Party for sure, sadly no plans :/

I paired it with gold tassel earrings, rose gold watch and a glitter clutch. Also stacked some gold midi rings and my trusted black and gold ankle strap sandals.

We clicked this at Nahargarh Haveli in Jaipur where we were staying for 3 days, it is an old haveli refurbished into an hotel. There are similar other hotels in Jaipur like Nani Ki Haveli, Alsisar, Virasat, etc.

Our first two days were at Zone By The Park and I would be doing a separate post about it, coz the experience was mind blowing.

Dress: StalkBuyLove
Earrings: The Trunk Label
Clutch: Gifted by Maybelline
Shoes: Shown HEREHEREHERE and HERE

On my Lips: Lakme Absolute Matte Lip Pout in Pink Fantasy

I am so glad hubby did not blur the pictures this time, unlike always 😀 I hope you liked the outfit, do let me know in the comments below 🙂

Indian OOTD: Vikram Phadnis for Nakkashi Double Layered Anarkali

Indian OOTD: Vikram Phadnis for Nakkashi Double Layered Anarkali

Hi guys,

This outfit was long, long overdue like it has been months that the shoot was just not happening. At first, the stitching, etc. took a lot of time since the outfit was semi-stitched and the jacket was completely open. Then co-ordinating with the photographers was not happening and I was occupied and then I shifted and what not. Finally we went to Jaipur and I thought it was the perfect location for this outfit, so we shot it there.

This semi-stitched anarkali dress is from the ‘Nakkashi’ line and designed by Vikram Phadnis, it was also a part of last year’s Lakme Fashion Week.

Vintage Desi basically makes designer labels much affordable and within the reach, it’s perfect for wedding shopping and the current wedding season. You get everything from clothes to accessories to jewellery here.

I also did a small outfit video..

Let me tell you a little more about this outfit: Top: Double layered top with lycra georgette and sequin embroidery net fabric
Jacket: Chiffon net jacket, cord lace with sequin highlight
Dupatta: Chiffon beige dupatta with elegant border
Bottom: Beige color heavy crepe palazzo with badla zari embroidery work on navy velvet on border

It’s priced at Rs.9450/- which is pretty good for the work, fabric, quality, design plus the brand label. Though it being semi-stitched makes it a little difficult to customize for yourself. Like here you cannot see the palazzos because the outfit is not for my height and the jacket is way too long and even after some customization, it was not possible to cut the work below or open it completely and re-stitch it. If you completely open the entire material, it will turn out to be very expensive and than it being semi-stitched will be of no use to you.

Even after wearing heels, the work at the palazzos cannot be seen unless a person sits or twirls or something like that 😀 Anyway, I absolutely love the beige and gold color and self sequin work. The navy velvet border on the palazzos make a beautiful striking contrast. The jacket is separate and can be worn with many other different outfits. The outfit is totally worth the price!

I hope you liked the outfit and pictures, do let me know in the comments below. Also definitely check out Vintage Desi for the current wedding shopping or anything Indian wear from jewellery to outfits to accessories. You can even sell on the website.

Mumbai Bridal Diaries: One Stop Destination for the Brides-to-Be

Mumbai Bridal Diaries: One Stop Destination for the Brides-to-Be

Hi guys,

If you have been following my bridal series, you would have seen a lot of posts related to my wedding. I complete one year of my wedding exactly in a week 🙂

I know exactly how a bride-to-be feels and the thousands of mixed emotions she goes through. And planning her own perfect wedding is what every bride dreams of.

I myself have gone through numerous blogs and wedding magazines, taking inspirations for hair, makeup, jewellery, different kinds of ethnic wear for trousseau,etc. Every bride wants to be different coz things get repetitive easily with styles getting very common these days.

With just weeks or months left until the wedding, a bride’s heart is filled with excitement and anxiety. With the big-date getting closer, you may find her wishful and enthusiastic one moment and then getting nervous the very next second.

I would be sharing a lot of more bridal posts on fabrics to buy, how to plan your trousseau and engagement makeup, etc. So stay tuned for more on my Mumbai Bridal Diaries 🙂

All Shops, One Site: Shopalike.in

Hi guys,

I came across this new website recently, shopalike.in. It brings together items from all the websites at one place. It basically is one common platform to shop everything from all websites and check all the available items online at one place together.

They have all the websites under one roof from Amazon, Jabong to Flipkart, Snapdeal, etc. Website is divided into categories like Men, Women, Children, Shoes, Beauty, Watches, Accessories, etc.

The website is very easy to navigate and the sub-categories within every category are very helpful. For e.g. within dresses, there are sub-categories i.e. dresses divided by occasion, length, style, colors, brands, sizes, patterns, price, shops, material, etc. This makes shortlisting dresses very easy & you can shop quickly as per your requirements.

There is also a separate ‘Sale’ section where all the offers and discounts from various websites are clubbed together. I really loved browsing the website and even tried shopping and it was a breeze.

Their tagline goes ‘EVERYTHING. MILLIONS OF PRODUCTS. EASY. DON’T SEARCH, FIND! AFFORDABLE. GET THE BEST DEALS’ perfectly describes the website. They also have their own app for Windows, Android and iOS phones, so you can also browse and shop anywhere and on the go.

Absolutely recommend checking out Shopalike.in, it will definitely make your online shopping experience a breeze.

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

OOTD: Roses in Galaxy

OOTD: Roses in Galaxy

Hi guys,

I am back with an OOTD, this time it’s this pretty black dress with pinkish red roses on the bottom half. It’s an old dress I had got from Done By None but never untill yet.

I created this case for Asus #Zenfone on their #Zenlooks app here http://bit.ly/1Q1ohRK, it is a galaxy inspired look with deep galaxy colors and some stars in between.

I wanted to create an outfit similar to the case inspiration and I found this dress in my wardrobe which perfectly matched the black and deep pinks and reds in the galaxy.

I kept it very basic and simple and went with a basic rose gold watch and a tan sling. I completed the look with my favourite black and gold block sandals.

I also added this floral pink tiara coz it went beautifully with the dress 🙂

Dress: DonebyNone
