We are almost at the end of summer and hot weather which can run different emotions in different people. Autumn is my favourite season of all so i am a happy person. Cant wait to infuse my wardrobe with some fresh autumn appropriate pieces. Although i have been shopping quite a lot of indian wear, salwar suits and stuff for the coming weddings in my family and the line of festivals around this time of the year but i need to look at the high street stores/ online for day to day wear.
Todays look is one i shot in beautiful greece and works well for end of summer style inspo. Rocking a beautiful pair of embroidered shorts is not a bad idea before it becomes cold to have bare legs. These shorts are from Miway fashion a brand i discovered before my Greece trip and i have to say i loved ever piece i picked and wore. Perfect for effortless chic styles and moving with the fashion trends, a win win.
Black and white are always a winner and as i always say when you have a neutral outfit you have the opportunity to infuse many details. I wore a lace bodysuit top with my embroidered shorts and thought of having some fun with the hair.
What i wore- Shorts Miway fashion, Bodysuit- Asos, Sandals- Zara, Hair tie- Asos
Sorry guys for being away from the blog this month, Vaibhav was unwell and i couldn't focus on anything except getting his health back to perfect.
Hope this look helps you with any late summer holidays and if not holidays just to end summer with a bang.
Thank you for stopping by, see you with my next!

Shopping for occasion wear can be quite an intimidating task as we are usually not in the habit of shopping for them. It will be right to say that all of us can do with some help. A special occasion be it a cocktail party, a formal dinner, a meeting, a black tie event, prom, the races, a wedding function, etc. deserves a special outfit. In my opinion a special dress works best. I wouldn’t ask you to go all out and create a full wardrobe of occasion wear clothes if you only attend a few of such events in a year but i recommend that you keep a couple of pieces, pieces that fit you perfect and you feel great everytime you put them on.
When shopping for occasion wear dresses here are a few points to keep in mind.
- Go for more classic styles than trendy styles if you are only going to have a couple of pieces in your closet. Occasion wear is not cheap and you obviously want the dress to serve you for a few years so going classic is sensible.
- Stay away from prints. I have seen quite a few fab printed occasion wear dresses but prints don’t work for all occasions so its better to invest in solids.
- While colours look stunning i would suggest you stick to neutrals (black, white, nude, grey) , metallics (gold, silver, bronze, rose gold) and pastel shades of pink and blue or your favourite colour. The reason is neutrals, metallics and pastels are more versatile, wearable and work from events be it in the day or night. Having said that there is one other colour i would love to recommend, midnight blue, gorgeous gorgeous, works for any occasion and be it day or night.
- Go for detailing like textures and embellishments. Think lace, crochet, pearls, sequins, tulle etc.
- While a maxi can be a tad bit formal and a mini tad bit casual the midi is the perfect balance and works well for all ages.
- Although i wouldn't recommend splurging on something you only wear a couple of times a year, its worth spending a tad bit more on quality considering the occasions you will be wearing the dress on.
- Last but not the least choose the one you feel absolutely WOW in, if you are just going to have one spend your money on what makes you look good and feel good.
I have a few formal events coming up so i was browsing online for occasion wear dresses and absolutely loved the collection on Quiz clothing, gorgeous metallics and beautiful embellished pieces holding on all the points i mentioned above. Also ASOS has a great collection and today i am sharing my favourite occasion wear dresses from my online stroll.
