Bidding Summers Adieu - OOTD With Floral Shrug

Hi friends! I have been missing since a long time now. A lot happened over the past month and those of you who follow me on Instagram thanks for your support!

Before I ramble on about new changes here at Our External World let me first share a quick outfit-of-the-day. Summers have finally gone and while the weather is a getting a bit gloomy I decided to add some spunk to my day with a bright floral shrug. 

Outfit Of The Day - Floral Shrug

Its a navy blue shrug in Georgette with big fuchsia flowers. The fabric drapes around perfectly. I decided to wear a fuchsia tank top underneath and teamed it up with a pair of jeans and my favorite tan shoes from Clarks. A great outfit when you are headed out on a casual trip.

5 Ways To Style A Maxi Dress (For Different Body Shapes)

Maxi dresses spell comfort and suit mostly all body types. But if not styled correctly maxi dresses can look as if you are wearing a nightgown! Here are the 5 key tips on how to style a maxi-dress focusing on your body shape. 

5 Ways To Style A Maxi Dress (For Different Body Shapes)

1. Cinch that waist

Best suited if you have a straight body (or with weight around your tummy!) a belt adds shape. Make sure the belt is about 2-3 inches wide so that it can clearly give a 'break' in the straight shape of the maxi dress. I wore a tan belt over a Rachel Red Maxi dress. If you are lean then add shape to your waist by wearing an empire line. 

How To Style Printed Palazzo Pants For Work

I am back with another styling post. Palazzo pants are all over the place in terms of fashion. Plain palazzos, printed palazzos, cotton palazzos, flowy georgette palazzos, and the list goes on.

I recently spotted a pair of printed palazzos and bought them to wear to work. Palazzos are so much more comfortable in summers as compared to jeans or other pants. When you wear palazzos you have many options of how you can style them. Since palazzos are flowy you can team them up with a fitted  shirt. You can team a solid coloured palazzo with a short kurti. You can also pair it with a crop top if you have the body to flaunt it.

I wanted to wear my palazzo pants to work and hence decided to team them up with a solid fawn coloured top. The top is made of georgette while the palazzos are made of rayon. It has a button fastening like pants and two side pockets.

Head Over Heels - Summer Pink With Intoto Shoes

For me summers are all about peaches and pinks. For fabrics I love to wear light weight chiffons and comfortable cottons. Recently for a lunch out I decided to wear a coral pink dress and teamed it up with my new shoes from Intoto.in

I kept my hair open (had just washed them and I like drying my hair naturally without any heating tools, and with the kind of summers we have it takes about half an hour and the hair dries out without any help!

Making Father's Day Special

A father son relationship is always special. Father's take on all challenges to make sure their children are always safe, secure, and happy. This Father's Day I decided to do something different. I tried to capture some candid moments between a father and son. I coaxed my brother to agree to this so that we could have some fun with dad and make him do something he would otherwise never agree to.

So I became the 'candid' photographer of the day and we went clickety-click. My brother has dabbled a bit in the modelling world and was super comfortable with the shots but the fun part was seeing dad  having so much fun. I told him this was for my blog so he agreed as he is always very enthusiastic about everything that I do.

Firstly I chose a pair of shirts and some shoes for both of them. I sourced these from a new brand that has forayed into the world of men's fashion - The G Street. They have super affordable shirts which are stylish and trendy while the fabric is fine cotton that is perfect for summers. The clothes are versatile enough to work for the office going man as well as for the cool dudes partying the night away.
