Summer's here

|| Top-Sarojini Market, Delhi || Jeans-Zara || Gold bangles-Hill Road || Clutch-Sarojini Market || Neckpiece-Vero Moda || Heels-Thrifted || On my lips-Lady Danger by MAC || 

An extremely basic summer outfit, put together keeping in mind my need to express my style, yet not too loud or over the top to grab unnecessary eyeballs. Black basic jeans, with a lovely green top picked up from Delhi streets last november, prepped up with gold accessories and a popping shade of orange on the lips and nails.

My idea of a dream summer outfit would be a bikini top and a pair of super mini shorts with plenty of bohemian accessories. But lets face it-we live in India, who are we kidding.

Also, as the crime rates against women in this city are rising faster than the temperature levels, there's a lot of pressure from all ends to dress "appropriately" while stepping out.

On such occasions, stick to the basics and glam up the look with statement accessories or bright, fun lipstick shades, or work a way around fitting both in, as I've tried accomplishing here.

Hope everyone's having a pleasant summer. :)
