Kitschy, Kooky

November 11th, 2009 at 3:12 pm . by Priyanka

Wearing prints isn’t the easiest thing to do. Especially wearing a mix of different (and overwhelming) prints/patterns but, when done well it’s bohemian, fun, statement making and makes kitsch starved souls like me smile. Of course, when done none too well only means an unmitigated WTHey’ish disaster. Not in this case though; love Sabina’s look.

Conventional wisdom would have perhaps dictated pairing that crazy jacket with a more neutral dress/top but love how it works with that dress. So refreshing. If I changed anything, it would have to be the hair. Not working for me at all.

    i love the jacket and dress but not worn together.

    sabina should never wear her hair up.

  2. S.M says:

    The dress is ok but nothing else works for me.

  3. Preeti says:

    Who is that jacket by? Seems like every actress of B-towns yesteryears on there.

  4. Anjali says:

    What ???? No way does it work with the dress .. you guys are loosing it :P
    Juss kidding … (not about the jacket thing tho !!!)

  5. gwen77 says:

    LOVE LOVE LOVE THE DRESS!!

    but not sure i would be brave enough to wear that jacket…it’s a bit too much to take in!!

  6. gwen77 says:

    by the way does anyone know who the dress is by? i love it!!!!

  7. Pri says:

    any better pics of the jacket? such a guilty pleasure!

  8. Mim says:

    There’s definitely potential here, but I’m not digging the footwear. They seem too aunty-like for such an edgy combination. Who’s the jacket by?

  9. Najina says:

    P & P after reading your comments on people’s fashion sense I wonder whatkind of fashion sense you have if have one at all…

  10. koel says:

    What is in the print on the jacket? It is pics from old movies or pics of her family members? Can somebody with better eyes (or glasses) tell me !

  11. chickenlittle says:

    the look is incomplete, but why n how i cant put afinger on it.

  12. MojitoLover says:

    I love love love the dress! Can we have an ID on it puh-leease? And the hair just about kills her look…pity ‘cuz anything simple would have looked good.

  13. SS says:

    P& P..pls say you are kidding…the 2 really dont look good together…”WTHeyy’ for me !!

  14. Maze says:

    The shoes are worse than the hair. I think this is kitsch gone bad.

  15. RJoshi says:

    neah … cmon !! this is clearly a WTHHey.. not bohemian at all

  16. Sharin says:

    oh man I want the jacket

  17. Rezia says:

    I love it! What a sublime moment of style!

  18. charan says:

    I am not liking this look. Its not an eye sore, but that doesnt mean it works.

  19. Sej says:

    Please please say you are joking. Some kind of an April 1st type thing in say November? This is one of the biggest WTHeyy’s in recent times. Dear Lord.

  20. Arati says:

    I am wondering who all the ladies are on her jacket…. madhuris and sridevis? haahaa… that’s a good way to attract people by wearing such jackets….

  21. crab says:

    Love the dress. Love the jacket.Definitely not together? They clash so badly that i’m positively cringing.

  22. annie says:

    This is neither edgy not kitschy but more likely WTHEYY!!!!!!!!!!

  23. koel says:

    What happened to you P and P ? I thought you had a good fashion sense. I agree that there can be a difference of opinion but come on guys this jacket looks like many movie posters on a Pan Ki Dukan.
    And the hair are atrocious.

    The dress is plain OK. I remember many wearing version of that dress growing up when we used to get our frocks stitched from my mom’s old silk sarees.

    The complete look is way too Tacky !

    • koel says:

      I meant wearing many and not many wearing…

      See ! what have you done to me !

      • Disappointed says:

        After reading your posts complimenting Sophie’s sequinned trash bag, Priya Tanna white bedsheet and now this hot kitchy mess, I am starting to wonder wether YOU are qualified to comment on other people’s style sense.

        • deewani says:

          I don’t know abt sophie or priya tanna’s outfits, but koel is right here..this outfit right here is plain wtheyy as mentioned by other commentators as well…

        • gaga says:

          @disappointed…u disappoint me.
          u have no right to put people (koel) down. we all have our opinions, that’s what makes the world more interesting.

    • pdaervo says:

      again, fasion is completely arbitrary
      I don’t get your criticism- you can disagree, but what kind of “qualifications” would you use???

      I would suggest The Satorialist if you really wanted to be inspired by mixed patterns and fresh looks; but P&P still do what they are good at- and I agree with them most of the time :)

      • koel says:

        I agree with you @pdaervo, Sometimes I get very emotional because I am really a big fan of P and P ’s work but when there is so much disagreement between me and them then that frustration takes the best of me..

        I think people do have different tastes and that is the reason why the world is not so monotonous…

        Again , I still disagree with P and P on this one but guys please ignore my comments on you…

        Come to think about it I did not hate the saree version that much. Sometimes it has to do with the whole getup of the person as well and I guess the hair in person with the jacket looked too Behanjee Chaap to pull off that look…

        • koel says:

          Plus @pdaervo what “qualifications” are you talking about ? I am just a middle aged woman, having a good time by commenting on celebrities clothes on the platform that actually posts my opinions unlike my husband who just know how to say ” Hmmmm” , “Achha” , “Uh-Hnnn” at regular intervals..

  24. shreya says:

    Please don’t call it bohemian if anything! The footwear with the dress?? That hair??? A jacket with actresses (in kind of wedding deck-up) pasted on it is too tacky to be edgy! The look is over the top!

  25. Saya says:

    Not working.I vote for WTHeyy too.

  26. pdaervo says:

    that’s sort of an awesome jacket
    …but not with the dress yo
    or the hair, or the shoes D:

  27. belle desse says:

    I’m sorry, but this look just does NOT work. I love the jacket and the dress, but induvidually. How in god’s name do they work together. And that hair has to go.

    The jacket i would wear with a black silk knee-length tank dress (I love contrasting textures and fabrics) that’s completely unembelished and plain and a pair of metallic stillettos in coppery gold.

    The dress with sky-high neon pink pump and a pair of silver chandelier earrings .

  28. Megha says:

    the jacket is fun and the dress is cute
    but i dont see them together at all…and she doesnt pull it off either
    the hair is terrible and so are the shoes

    that jacket definitely has kitsch written all over it
    trying to figure out who the faces are…the only one i can ID so far is Kajol – second picture from the top on her left

  29. Fashionluvver says:

    This is not even a WTHey, it’s a WTF.

  30. Kiwi says:

    Huh? P & P–sometimes I really am taken aback! this is not working.. I like the dress. Don’t like the jacket-her hair, bag and shoes are completely off… its a tacky outfit though Sabina herself never looks tacky.

  31. kitschy gal says:

    I’m all for kitsch!!! and this look is 100% awesome.
    lol… ur right… its JUST so refreshing to c somebody so totally confident to carry this off. she looks fab

    Now if only you could tell me where cud i pick up that jacket from and i’d be on my way!! :D

    you rock, sabina!!

  32. dinks says:

    are u guys serious???? its EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW for me!

  33. sania chaudhri says:

    Halloweens over Baby!!

  34. suraima says:

    Pleeeease, where can I find the jacket? Me want it!!!!

  35. ananya_s says:

    as for dat dress, as seperates it’d work…2 carry dat jacket u esp need a lot of guts…
    i cnt believe it, i used 2 love dis sabina female earlier, bt nw wid every passing day, her pics prove dat she seems 2 b losing it…

  36. Swapna says:

    love the jacket ..but she could have paired it with something neutral … anyways i love the jacket.

  37. TumHum says:

    LOL!!!…what is she wearing …its WTHEyyy

  38. ash says:

    I think the hair is fine, in tune with the theme of the rest of the outfit, crazy!!

  39. lulu says:

    Those sandals are hideous…maybe some edgie closed shoes in a neutral shade would have completed the look…plus i dont think the dress compliments her her body type…makes her look heavy on top and the legs look disproportionately skinny…Uggghhh for me!!!…though i like the dress and the jacket individually..

  40. gwen77 says:

    anyone find out the label/designer of the dress yet?

  41. D says:

    I love the ikat print dress much more than that jacket. Who is this dress by?
