Thistle & Weeds
















I'll tell you the easiest and safest way to jazz up simple outfits, anything from layered clothes to a plain cotton tee with jeans- 
  • Opt for a plait(either the basic one or a fancier style, if you're well versed with how to make one)
OR

 Any other casual yet interesting hairdo. Take a break from the usual 'leaving the hair open all the time' and experiment. If you aren't comfortable tying up your hair entirely, at least play around interestingly--pin up the top portion of your hair in cute ways/make a puff.

  • Wear aviators or a retro styled sunglass, they make for statement pieces and how! The primary aim is to pull focus onto the face and make the face look stylish, instead of the clothes.


  • Choose a bright shade of lipstick, advisably a good shade of red, something which prominently stands out and grabs attention.

Opt for a lipstick shade that will pop out and make a statement. Three of the shades that blend brilliantly with the Indian skin tone are:

                                        Red-                         

                      Peach-                    

Shades of Burgundy-                    
       
                                             

 I'm a person who doesn't fancy glossy shades when it comes to lipsticks, I keep it safe and a little toned down with matt shades. Also, for those who feel uneasy opting for a bright red or burgundy or anything very dark, peach is the safest option. It stands out and at the same time looks extremely natural.
