Personal Style | Daily diary: edition 3
The more attention I pay to my daily dressing, the more I realise the effort that goes into it. As I work in an office environment and meet people constantly, I realised that I can't just throw on the first thing I feel like. Those sweat pants and tank tops just have to wait until the weekend. Also, unlike an outfit shoot for Style File, there's more activity involved. And by activity, I mean real life - schlepping it in the train, walking to the station and sweating in the sun. With that kind of busyness, there's no time to teeter in high heels, wear an impractical dress or flaunt a full face of makeup. Every woman who steps out every morning will know it to be true.
But that's the beauty of daily dressing - it is real and relatable. It can withstand the searing sun, streams of sweat, plenty of walking and still ensure you look groomed. And while it may not be as glamourous or airbrushed as a shoot, it's realistic and practical. In the 3rd edition of my daily diaries, here's how I keep it real.
Possibly the boldest look I've worn in ages, I wore this merger of print mixing and colour blocking to a previous Lakmé Fashion Week edition. The location made blending into the crowd easier and actually turned out to be very comfortable!

Give me a sun dress with my favourite print on it and I'm sold! Since my blue FitBit has been my recent obsession, expect it to peek through in future outfits too. Minimal accessories and a pink lip were all I needed for a Sunday lunch.
The absolute joy you can see on my face is all because this was my first day of vacation back home. It was the most wonderful time, where all I did was relax and take in the sunshine - hence the off shoulders and sliders.

After demolishing a season of Goliath in a single weekend, it was bound to inspire me in the week ahead. So when I had to attend a formal 'do; I, obviously, channelled my inner Callie Senate and paired my freshly cropped hair with high waist trousers and a sheer blouse.

This has got to be one of my favourite looks in recent times mainly because of its chic yet casual vibe, which is very me. While I kept the palette in black and gold, the denim jacket and red lip definitely added a cool girl edge.
