Breezy Faux Winter!

'There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing. '
~Alfred Wainwright

Mumbai has been hot inspite of October being a promising month at least for some time.
December is when i can't resist doing posts on winter fashion.
So for the faux Mumbai winter, lets dress up in cosy and highly tailored outfits.


Match me with the sky

Top: Flowy full-sleeves tunics in synthetic fabrics or knits for cooler temperatures tailored to perfection.

Bottom : Tights in winter shades like black,indigo,magenta, violet or bold prints like leopard prints and even florals. (for Mumbai )

* Printed tights , available at Vero Moda.

In case of cooler climates, try the woolen tights.

Footwear: I know the footwear makes you wonder what it is supposed to be called and where it came from ! As the weather is 'faux', i call it a faux pair of boots. This is a 'sock sandle' where its sandal +leg warmer/socks and has a tiny wedge heel!

This suits Mumbai weather as it lets your feet breathe !

Though it may whip up extreme reactions, its upto you to love them or hate them!I await your reactions to this one :)

For a cooler weather , try leg warmers and a pair of black/grey/brown/ taupe/olive (suede ) flat/heeled boots to add the funk.

The oriental print in the tunic inspired a pretty addition of a pink Japanese Parasol with cherry blossom tree hand-painted on it !
Infact the Red- beads are a reminder of big ripe cherries !

I love all things oriental and cherry-blossomy :)
I will soon post the tiny oriental charms i treasure !
