There always will be a couple of people who stick to black at an event, and this time it was Bhavna and Farah. Hated Farah’s outfit with the overdose of layers and pearls(notice the shoes yet?) and Bhavna’s dress is not doing anything for us at all.
What say you?

Shaina NC might be great at tying a sari but as a designer she surely dissapoints big time!
Just take a look at Sonali wearing one of the sari’s from Shaina’s new collection. As it is there is the overwhelming effect of the fake pearls on the sari but the overdose of the blingy ruby necklace just makes this whole ensemble so ugly!
Shobha De’s collection seems to be even more appealing after taking a look at this!

Soniya Mehra sure likes stacking those bangles with her LBDs. (Nevermind the fact that she might pair the LBD with pearls, patent red pumps and those bangles, or, an LBD with neon blue tights, grey printed cardigan and those bangles…)
Those bangles, inspired by someone you think?

It just might be! That is what “The Chennai Silks” claims this sari to be.
What makes it so expensive, you wonder?
Well, for starters, the silk sari has been woven with twelve precious stones and also features replications of 11 of Raja Ravi Verma paintings.
What kind of precious stones we talking about?
umm…emeralds, rubies, pearls set in platinum and gold are just a few of the stones that were woven intricately onto the sari to adorn the women in the paintings..
What will this sari will cost you?
A mere Rs 40 lakhs!
Quick! Better hide the newspapers and turn off the tv before your mother-in-law asks for one!

A lot of us are professional working women. We work in different environments. Some workplaces are very casual and some places are very formal. We still all need to have the following basic things in our wardrobe without question!
1. We do not get a job unless we all go through an interview process. So, the first important piece of your wardrobe needs to be a great SUIT jacket. A good classic black suit is a great way to make a first impression on your would-be employer! Since we all have different body types, definitely try a few different stores to find one that fits you just right. Don’t just go buying one because it is on sale. Big Mistake. Nothing worse than an ill-fitting suit when you are trying to make a first impression!

2 and 3. Traditionally, we always wear suits with pants, except, there is another option, the skirt. Nowadays, all suit jackets come with matching skirts and pants.

The best part of having a skirt and pants are that now you can wear them with the suit jacket for formal events and lose the jacket for a more informal setting.
When it comes to skirts, there are different fits. Some look great in a pencil skirt, while some look better with an A-line look. For pants, I totally swear by Express’ Editor pants. I can gain 10 pounds or lose 10, and they still look fantastic!
4. Every wardrobe should have a crisp white shirt! It goes with everything, even a good ol’ pair of jeans. A good tailored white shirt not only makes you look extra smart, but it can also accentuate your figure and make you look thin!

5. Another option to wear with pants or skirts is a good knit top. Its a little less casual but you can always dress it up with a pair of pearls, a scarf, or even a great brooch.

6. To finish up the clothes, always keep a cardigan close. I have heard many co-workers always complain (even during summer) about how cold it gets and then always wear an awful sweatshirt. With a cardigan at hand, you can always put it on when you are feeling chilly and not mess up your hair while putting it on.

7. Now that clothes are done, let’s move onto all our accessories starting with shoes. A good pair of black pumps are a great investment. You can wear them all the time once you find a comfortable pair with medium heels.

8. Last but not least, pair your awesome wardrobe with a great bag. Every professional woman must have one GOOD bag that you can use all the time.

To recap all the items, here is the checklist:
1. Suit Jacket (Preferably Black for a first)
2. Pencil or A-line Skirt (Depending on your body type)
3. Trousers (1 Black, 1 Gray and 1 Brown)
4. Cotton tailored shirts (Including 1 white and 1 black)
4. Knit tops (Any color)
5. Cardigan (Any color)
6. Comfortable black pumps
7. Functional work bag
What I listed are some basics that every wardrobe should have. Once you have a good basic collection (consisting of whites,blacks and browns), go ahead and delve into other colors based on the season.
As I end this post, I am attaching this other post that talks about how to accessorize with your work wardrobe. All the points it mentions are very very important! Read it here
