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.

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.

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.

Military Mode

A utility jacket is undeniably one of those basic wardrobe pieces and a favourite of the style soldiers and is also a great staple piece for fall.With the slight dip in temperatures now you can get your jackets and blazers out.
If camouflage prints are not your way then you can sport the military trend with a olive/army green jacket.

With this army green jacket you can go classic or be fashion forward. Whether in trend or not this particular style never goes out of fashion.

I added this light weight military jacket to my closet last fall.As you can see there is nothing feminine about the jacket like some jackets which are embellished ...etc.Hence to soften up the look and make it more feminine I paired it with skinny denims.I personally think such utility jackets were made to give you an immensely casual and comfortable look.Nothing much needs to be done the jacket does everything for the outfit.

Its a perfect layering piece for fall.If you are looking for sporting cammo/military trend you can even try cammo printed shirts.I have off lately spotted many cammo printed shirts in sheer,embellished,with spikes.

Do you have a military or army green jacket in your wardrobe if not you are missing a very versatile piece.
