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.

Mixed Feelings

Kimono Jacket - Forever 21 | Tank - Charlotte Russe | Jeans - Zara | Bag - Forever New | Watch - Michael Kors  | Rings - Aldo | Sandals - Zara 

Many times you see a trend or a style sometimes in magazines or blogs or pinterest given it a thought, imagine yourself in it and then you feel it will not look good on you so you chuck and never think of trying it again.A few weeks back while going through pinterest I came across a kimono style jacket, thought about it for sometime and then chucked the thought.

Then a few days later I came across this similar kimono jacket and no I didn't fall in love with it at first sight I tried it and it did look good and exceptionally comfortable considering the temperatures.

Layering in summer with blazers is just an impossible task and for those like me who love to layer their outfits, these airy kimono jackets are a perfect and comfortable piece for summer layering.Here I have paired kimono jacket with basic pieces to let the kimono jacket take center stage.It can be a great cardigan replacement, while adding more interest to the entire look. 

Well what I said previously about rejecting something at first sight, we could be right most of the times as we do know ourselves pretty well but sometimes you can go ahead and try it like I did here.

The weather has been very hot since last few weeks and as you have seen in my previous outfit posts I have been mostly wearing light and comfortable summer appropriate clothing.I got this pleated skirt last year and had totally forgotten about this skirt until a Trendy Tuesday post about Pleats that I did on the blog's Facebook page reminded me of it.

Since pleats are back in trend what better time then now.Although this pleated skirt reminds of summer it works in almost any setting.Pleated skirts look chic in any length and colour.This type of skirt will make you look even more feminine. Pleated skirts, especially those made from soft fabrics are among the most stylish skirts for summer.

I find the colour of the skirt very lively, it has just the right amount of brightness.I have paired this beautiful skirt with a scarf print button up.

Such solid coloured pleated skirts can be easily paired with white/black tops or button ups and a pair of high heels to complete the look.To compensate for the brightness of the skirt I have added nude heels.The glaring sun gives you an excuse to invest in good protective sunglasses and so have I in these beautiful Diorline sunglasses.

Summers are very much settled now and the fabrics which I rely on in summers are cottons and linens and what better then a nice comfy linen trouser to save you from the summer heat.

As much as I love skinny jeans I equally love loose fitting and comfortable pants and now that the temperatures are heating up, wearing skinny jeans is not the best option.

A trusty pair of linen trousers is perfect for summers.The light fabric and loose cut of these trousers will keep you cool even in the hottest weather. 

For those crop top lovers such high rise linen pants will go perfectly with your beautiful crop tops. I have worn these linen pants both with formal and casual looks.

Here I have thrown in a basic yellow tee over those pants keeping the look pretty easy.Usually we pair blacks and whites with grey, seldom do we go for yellows or pinks.I steered away from any heavy jewellery and added some light pastel accessories.

Do skip those skinny jeans on some days and indulge in the comfort of such light fabrics.
