Newfangled Nuances

Blazer - Zara | High waist jeans - Only | Tank top - Local Boutique | Platform Heels - Zara | Sunglasses - Prada | Lipstick - Mac Ruby Woo  

  Off lately I have been favoring high rise pants a lot as you all have seen in my recent posts.Since monsoons seemed to have taken a break a few days back I promptly came up with this look and found an excuse to wear denims. From trousers to skinny jeans and even shorts, all of these styles come with a high-waist alternative and are available in a wide spectrum now a days.Most of us might think its such an odd trend.Once you discover which styles suits you, you can experiment with different patterns.

   When paired rightly they can be more flattering than you’d think.I have previously paired these high waist jeans with a crop top, which you can check on my Instagram profile.One can see the versatility of high rise pants by the variation of the looks I have created and that is the reason this style has become my new favourite. I have paired my high rise pleated trousers with a blouse here creating a illusion of a jumpsuit.The same pleated trousers I have paired with a crop top in my previous post.This style is surely a boon for petite girls because it gives a long, lean look and helps in creating an elongated frame. 

  After a really long time I am back to layering blazers on the blog. Its not time yet to get the fall blazers out, at such times a light weight thin fabric blazer is a suitable alternative. This white blazer is one of my recent sale finds. I was not very keen on picking up a white blazer but the long lapels, the blazer's length and especially the light fabric which makes it very monsoon appropriate caught my interest.

 Also, I have never paired high waisted jeans with a long blazer hence I was eager to try this combination.To complete the look I have added a casual tank top, my favourite silver stacklaces (a word for stacked necklaces which I recently came across on Instagram) and platform heels. In case you want to know more about the stacked silver necklaces you can read this post Stacking Statements.

Hope I have given you enough reasons to steer away from low-cut jeans and enough pointers to embrace the high waist style.

Back to the Roots

Crop tops have seen a major revival.These cute crop tops I don't think  are going out of trend any sooner. Everyone seems to be too comfortable with crop tops.Crop tops in my opinion when styled correctly can be versatile and flattering.I have already styled a cute crop top with a maxi skirt here and also a cropped shirt here.This time I decided to pair it with high rise pleated trousers.To make the look stylish and chic I have added statement accessories and heels.To turn this look into a casual one, one could go sans any heavy jewellery and add flat sandals and a tote.

Sometimes while putting an outfit together selecting a neutral item and later working bold pieces around it is an apt way.When you have a nice bold print, mixing it with a neutral piece helps in maintaining subtleness in the outfit.

I didn't settle for the regular conventional solid, floral or logo crop tops, something bold which would make a statement was what I was looking for.Seldom you come across pieces with Indian ethnic traits which remind you of your roots and yet can be carried so effortlessly in a western look.The striking modern take on these ethnic symbols grabbed my attention.The rich fabric and the vibrant colour make it more appealing. With such crop tops you can go both traditional or western.

You guys already know what a midi rings buff I am.This beautiful statement midi ring is the newest addition to my midi ring stash.

Teal Tale - Part Deux

This is something new I am trying here.No there is no part deux to the teal tale what I had told you all over here.Sometimes when a piece is a centre of attention in a blog post it becomes a little difficult to reuse it.Hence I thought of doing these mini posts whenever possible in which I will pick a piece which I have already used in a previous post and style it differently.If I have done a polished look then il show you a more casual take on it and vice versa. Its just about generating more outfit ideas.

Here I have paired these pants with a neutral top and to maintain a casual look I have gone minimal on the accessories, just a chain necklace and black bag.Black or a white top are basics they can go with all coloured pants.Other combinations with these teal pants would be red or pastel yellow,Cobalt blue and in prints Red Plaid,leopard print,polka dots, BnW aztec print will look good.So here we go I have given many options in case you have a blazer, dress or a skirt in teal which you need to pair or layer you can keep in mind these combinations.

Styllogue turns One

Dress - Marks & Spencer | Bag - Steve Madden from Jabong.com | Pearl Bracelet - Zara | Shoes - Zara | Lipstick - Mac Ruby Woo

June marks 1st anniversary of Styllogue and ever since I started writing the blog it has been a roller coaster ride for me.Right from my understanding for fashion and styling to trends,colour palettes and other facets of the blogging and fashion world.My decision to blog was not a planned one and I have to say it was not a very easy one.Its a personal opinion but I guess the more passionate you are about a particular thing the more nervous you are about the results it will give.Having said that I always wanted to share my love for fashion and with some coaxing and trust from my loved ones I finally gave it a chance.It is my attempt at putting my voice out there through Styllogue in the midst of all the noise the world has to offer.And I want to thank all you lovely readers for reading and following my blog.I'll keep it short because I can go on and on about how elated I am about the blog becoming a year old. 

And now coming to the outfit, the moment I saw this dress I fell in love with it.Usually we tend to ignore stripes because most of us have striped tshirts, shirts and some even have blazers and so do I but I wanted a striped dress.I skipped a similar one with only black and white stripes and picked this one.To complete the look have added very few accessories a pearl bracelet and a black sling bag.

Neutrality

Neutrals are those colors which form the building blocks of your wardrobe. They are very much trend-proof and flexible.

Basic neutral colours are black, grey, white, navy blue, brown, beige including hues and different shades of these colours.

Neutrals does not mean dull colors.Yes ladies lack of colour does not mean lack of style.As I said previously neutrals are the building blocks and most of the time we use neutrals to build our outfits.But constructing an outfit with neutrals only thats exactly what I have tried to create here, a very simple outfit with neutrals alone.

Black is such a classic colour and looks good on everyone.Those black skinnies, jeggings everyone will agree are you most versatile piece.

White another very versatile colour. Pair it with bright, neon, neutral tops or bottoms and it will look good with everything.

Beige now this colour is my personal favourite.I have already styled this colour in two different outfits here and here with totally different colour palette.

Adding a chunky necklace or bright coloured shoes is an interesting way to add some colour to a neutral outfit.

This here is my take on neutral colour blocking.

Teal Tale

Blazer-ASOS | Pants - Forever 21 | Tank Top - Sonia Kalapi | Bracelet,Rings - Forever New | Clutch - Local Boutique | Sunglasses - GUCCI | Lips - MAC Ruby Woo

These teal pants are the closest thing that I own to coloured pants.When I bought these pants I had actually gone out looking for emerald green pants ,emerald green being the pantone of the year and all you see.I had seen the beauty blogging front going gaga over emerald green so I thought of incorporating it in my wardrobe.

But in my chase for emerald green I stumbled on these gorgeous teal pants and when I compared these teal pants with emerald green I was more attracted towards these teal pants.

Teal is such a sophisticated mixture of blue and green.I usually wear it with a white , black or a beige shirt/top keeping the look pretty much simple adding just a few accessorises and focussing more on the pants.Here I thought of jazzing up the look just a little bit by adding a beige blazer and a butterfly prints tank.

Keeping up with fall trends you can check Fall/Winter trends here which includes prints and hues of blue and green.

If you have already tried siren red,electric blue,mint or pastel coloured pants or are not much into these shades you can try colours such as teal,burgundy/oxblood,brick,olive green.
