KURTI TWO WAYS

- November 29, 2016

Hello Everyone. So here I am sitting on the bed, which is nothing new and on to my second cup of coffee. I was feeling so lethargic and gloomy but I had to push myself up because I had to get this blog ready for you'll to read. So that was basically my life update and now let's get on straight to another outfit post.

Traditional clothes and the colour yellow are the two things in which I am so not comfortable. Might sound strange because after all I am an Indian and we celebrate thousands of festivals. But to be honest I am so not like that. I do find ethnic wear like Kurtis, Saris very beautiful and exquisite but I am more comfortable in shorts and tank tops. That was me blabbering about ethnic wear and now I will come to the colour yellow. I have always felt that yellow just doesn't suit me and I personally find it to be extremely bright. For me there is nothing like lighter shades of yellow or darker shade, I believe that all shades of yellow can be described in just one word " BRIGHT". It's weird coming from a girl who likes lipstick shades like reds and purples but then I don't usually experiment with clothes. There few specific colors which I always go for when it comes to apparels and shoes.

So one fine day I received a package from Jabong and I then realized that my mother had ordered something online, again. There is no stopping my family when it comes to online shopping. I was pretty much in shock when I saw that she had ordered a yellow kurta. It's safe to say that no one in my house has any interest in such bright colors. Her reason was that she wanted to experiment with new colors and new patterns. She practically forced me to try to this on and who am I to straight out deny my mother. And Thank God that I tried it. I had one of the biggest revelations ever. Not only did I realize that Yellow suits me but loved this particular Kurta to the T. This Shakumbhari Yellow Printed kurta is snug in the right areas without it being to fitted and is beautifully structured because of the huge slit that runs down in the middle. The Aztec print and the black buttons gives it a different dimension.

According to my preference I decided to style it few different ways. First I styled the kurta right into it's ethnic habitat by pairing it up with black fitted leggings as I wanted the structured flow and slit to show off it's presence. I used a Gold detailed necklace as a headgear because that is what I usually do with chunky piece of necklaces and as well as the gold along with the yellow kurta gives a royal and bronze look.

If you want a more everyday, causal look then just wear a pair of jhumkas either silver or gold, I personally prefer silver and with a pair of heels you are good to go.

The other way I styled is by transitioning it from a Kurta to a Dress. It might raise a few eyebrows but it is very simple to do. Just add few press buttons along the slit as to how much you want it to be open and that's about it. It is absolutely wearable and not very risque. I loved the way this dress turned out. It shows off just the right amount of skin through the slit and is incredibly classy.

If you want to wear it for a beach party and want to add the extra amount of oomph then just add a bandana. Bandanas are making a stunning comeback and are just the best way to save your hair from any sand and dust at the beach as well as an amazing accessory to wear when you are having one of those bad hair days. Not just that but they give off a very carefree vibe without trying too much.
