Multi Functionals!!! From Work to Play


 

Christmas is gone & we all are looking forward to the New year but for as far back as I can remember, I've always thought of December 24 to Jan 2 as 'The holiday season' and  I am sure lots of people share this sentiment. Some people are lucky, as their Companies close down for the year and all these days are free for them. For some of us, we still have to work in between even though I am not sure just how much work gets done. This doesn't change our mood however, as as we're still in the holiday spirit and the End of the Year party invites are still pouring in......how do we go to work & go to play; all in one outfit?



Not everyone one has the luxury or time to go home and change before attending the many holiday/work parities or social gatherings with friends. So instead of forfeiting an invite, here are some key outfit pieces that will help you seamlessly switch from work to play.



 
Simple! Break out the semi-formal clothes and rock them! Chiffon tops, Tulip dresses, Smart pants......what have you! Choose flattering pieces that can be accessorized effortlessly........Change the earrings, add a chunky neck piece, add a bracelet, change your shoes, remove the blazer , add a sparkly belt........The list is endless.
So don't let going to work this season dampen your spirit, or make u reject party invites, just switch this around. Enjoy your holiday ladies.........@ work or @ play!!!

Palazzo Pizzaazz

Palazzo pants are wide-legged pants that cut loose from the waist down, and give the illusion of a maxi skirt....They are Leg-lengthening, Uber-flattering & Stomach flattening. (Everything a lady wishes for )***magical***

Are you tired of Skinny pants, tight-fitting jeans? Feel like wearing something Comfortable,  Classy & Elegant?.......ROCK THE PALLAZO!!!

Palazzo Pants splash variety & style to the wardrobe, they are indeed a must-have!. Despite these positive attributes of the Palazzo Pants, its a difficult trend to pull, as it needs to be carefully styled to get the desired effect.

STYLING THE PALLAZO

  • Reach out for high heels for that maximum glam effect.Except you 're super tall, avoid wearing flat shoes. PPs should always graze the floor.
  • PPs are baggy, so its important to stay fitted at the top, otherwise the outfit will look out of balance and become a big mess.
  • Accentuate your waist with a belt, keeping the blouse tucked in.

  • Crop tops are a good pair with PPs

A Riot!.... of Colour




 Color Blocking is a term used to describe the combination of essential solid colours all in an Outfit. Some people say this trend is last season but I beg to differ, This season, we've seen a lot of our favorite Celebrities, color block in some of their outfits. Designers such as Gucci, Alexandre Herchcovitch and Miu Miu have created a great collection this season, and it’s all about Colours!



Katy Perry and Rihanna are famous for their colour blocking skills and as a matter of fact, Katy Perry can be seen on the cover of Elle Magazine working a Gucci outfit, and color blocking from head to toe with an Blue shirt, Green blazer, and Purple pants with a gold belt to match.............Awesome Combo!   
           


We can almost see the tiny beads of sweat forming on your forehead from trying to figure out the Scientific calculation behind stacking solids on solids to create a Chic colour paradigm with clothing.  The easiest way to figure this out is to first know the most popular groupings of solid colors and then....................



 

  













Ohk.....ohk!! those are the rules.....but if u just wanna have fun, just combine colours that are pleasing to the eyes and don't clash so badly. Some people recommend combining a light pallet colour with a dark one while some others say combine feminine n masculine colours. Whatever you choose though, one tip to remember is knowing the colours that complement each other;that is why the use of a colour wheel is very helpful.

Colour blocking might sound fun,but you can't just pile up any colour that you have in you wardrobe....... I did that once and boy! I did look like a clown! You don't want that Ladies........trust me! While you wanna give off the sunny feeling of having just seen a rainbow, you definitely don't wanna look like one!







As for your feet,Shoes are another hot trend for color blocking, even though it isn't as recognized as clothing. We see a lot of two-toned shoes that make a statement on and off the red carpet, they make your feet pop and add a spring to your steps.



 

Trust me, u won't be able to resist stepping into a party this season with them! So block your clothes or block your Shoes, just ensure you have loads n loads of fun because what else screams FUN better than Colours? I mean just ask Indians about their Holi festival! *wink*
