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.

OOTD: Wear Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness

October is the month for Breast Cancer Awareness. Across the globe people wear pink to raise awareness. You can head on over to http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org to read more about the disease. 

I decided to pick out a pair of coral pink dungarees from Stalkbuylove.com when I saw their Pink Ribbon campaign for Breast Cancer Awareness.

The dungarees are made of linen which is such a life save in the humid weather. I decided to do two looks. The first is a casual day out with friends. You can wear the dungarees with a soft cream t-shirt, add a pair of heels and you are set.

The second look is for a more formal occasion - lets say you need to head out to a meeting. You can still raise awareness by wearing the same pair of dungarees to work. Add on a matching coral shrug, tie up your hair, and voila! You are ready to look more serious despite the bubbly coral shade of your outfit.

Hi friends, I hope the week has started on a good note for you. The weather is lovely, bright sunshine on an otherwise cold day is simply perfect.
Since winters are in full swing, at least everywhere above the equator, I thought of sharing a quick outfit post.

I recently got myself a pair of leggings from OASAP.com, these are snowflake printed leggings perfect for the season. They are called Chic Stripes with Snowflake Leggings. They are made of cotton blend fabric and are lined inside with a very soft light fur. These are extremely warm and great if you are headed outdoors in the cold.

I paired these with a short red shirt, a long brown sweater and black boots with comfortable heels.

You can go out on a lunch date with friends or simply stroll through your favorite markets easily in this comfortable outfit. And if you are headed on a trip then these leggings would be a great travel companion as well.

You can also team these leggings with a short skirt and long boots. If you prefer heels you can check out these Street Chic Lace-up Platform Boots.

Fashion Post - OOTD - My Floral Gypsy

Hi friends, I got so much love on my red carpet outfit post that here I am a bit more confident of sharing another outfit of the day with you. 

I am calling this summer outfit My Floral Gypsy

My Floral Gypsy - Flagstaff Floral Skirt & Clearwater Anchor Clutch

For a day out in the hot summers I opted for a light chiffon shirt in plain white and teamed it up with a bright bold floral skirt.

The skirt has a zippered closing and a smart plain pleat near the left knee. The length is just appropriate,  not too much of skin show and yet short enough to let your legs breathe.

I carried my phone and some essentials in this envelope clutch which has a nautical anchor pattern. I think it went well with my outfit.

For the feet I chose to wear my current favorite white sandals which I love for their ankle strap pattern.

Outfit Post - Cannes Film Festival - Budget Red Carpet Look?

I was really not sure of doing this post and am still not sure if I should be... I was supposed to create a look for the red-carpet Cannes film festival - I had this really pretty look in mind, a flowy gown, a fantastic up-do and almost neutral eyes with bold lips. First off I don't have any gown in my wardrobe - now I don't get to attend these fancy red carpet events so never ever had the need to buy one. So I initially thought a saree would be nice but then the only full outfit post I remember doing was in a saree so well... there I go ranting on again.

Cutting it all short - here is what I came up with

Enamour Mix-n-Match Collection Review - Let Us Have A Pyjama Party OOTD

Summers are here and while looking for a nice set of lounge wear I checked out the new mix-n-match range of t-shirts and capris from Enamor. The new range comes so cutely packed in little cylindrical plastic packets with a zipper on top. I saw them hanging in lifestyle stores and decided to pick one of these.

Enamour Mix-n-Match Collection Review - Let Us Have A Pyjama Party

I chose a coral  pink t-shirt and paired it with a green polka-dot capri. Things that made me pick this combo are the satin detailing on the neck and sleeve of the t-shirt and the gorgeous summery colors. I think pink and green just uplifts my mood whenever I wear it.

The capri is made of cotton and has a white ribbon on the waist. You can use this to tighten the waist as well in case it is slightly loose. The same ribbon is also used on the leg to add some detail (see the first pic above)

OOTD - How I Wore The Kanjivaram

I have never done a OOTD before so I am really anxious while posting this. Hope you all like it!

How I Wore The Kanjivaram

Last week I had to attend a cousin's wedding. Due to the winter chill I decided to opt for a Kanjivaram silk saree. Its my sister's and is a beautiful mehroon colored silk with gold work on the pallu and a small gold pattern all over.

Mehroon Kanjivaram

I kept my hair open and wore a polki pendant set (earrings are missing in the pictures as I wore them in the car on the way to the venue!). In my hands I am wearing diamond bangles and a diamond ring.

I carried my current favourite gold clutch in my hands (you can see more pictures about it HERE)

Simple Face With Pink Eye Shadow

I kept the face simple with a very light pink blush on the cheeks. On the eyes I wore a pink eye shadow with black liner and a hint of teal to create some drama. I wore a crystal bindi and for my lips I used a Diana of London Perfect Stay Lip Liner in Mehroon to cover the entire lips and topped with some gloss.
