Maxi Affair

 

Bag: Aldo, Top, Skirt and Shoes: Forever21

I wanted to do this post since quite a while but somehow it just kept on getting delayed. I did this shoot while I was in Rajasthan. As there clearly is nip in the air so this would be my last summer’s post for the year because of which I thought of ending the summerish posts with a Maxi Skirt as I feel a Maxi Skirt transitions effortlessly from spring and summer into the winters.

Do you think it’s true, or is it just me that Maxi Skirts are easy to style, are versatile and super feminine? Maxi trend has been around quite some time now, and for me it is the perfect definition of chic!

To style your maxi skirts for the colder months, focus on layering pieces to keep fashionably bundled and you’re good to go!

Colour Blocked Affair

Winters are approaching bringing along the trend of neutral colours, so before that happens I thought of doing a post on Colour Blocking.

Colour blocking is wearing a combination of different solid colours together in one outfit. You can pair two or three contrasting colours, at most four but you can't just pile on every colour you find in your wardrobe which might make you look like the human rainbow. It's good to anchor your outfit with a neutral colour like black, white, grey or beige. To find out which colours are complementary, the use of this colour wheel will help.

When colour blocking your outfits, try out these combinations:

Complementary colours: These are colours placed directly opposite each other on the wheel. Like yellow and violet in my outfit. 

Analogous colours: These are any three colours lined up next to each other on the colour wheel. Example: orange, red-orange and red.

T colours: These are colours that form a 'T' shape. Like yellow, purple and blue green which is there in my heels.

90 degree angles: Combine colours that are at a right angle with each other. Example: Orange-yellow and green or red and violet.

I decided to pair up yellow with violet i.e using “complementary colours” opposite to each other on the wheel, along with using the “T colours” combination for my footwear.
