Winter Styling in Indo ethnic Velvet jacket with a modern twist

Hey you my lovely readers! Here's to bidding goodbye to Dilli ki sardi with this last post in the season's clothing which I have been long procrastinating & keeping it due to publish. Finally bridging the due gap with an Oomph! ;)

Hint the look & details here for both formal & ethnic winter styling in a velvet jacket.

This another stunning & classic velvet jacket is again from designer, Regalia by Deepika's collection , as I already mentioned I picked several outfits from their exquisite collection at their store in South Ex. (Address & contact details mentioned below).

This jacket has a slightly Indian ethnic look & was created by designer also keeping in mind to pair it with usual dhoti pants/ ethnic bottoms, in winters for Indian wedding season. 

However as I saw this particular jacket, it just rightly clicked my creative sense & breaking the regular style ethics I instantly thought of pairing it in an unconventional style with a slight westernized/ British twist. 

             

I have paired it with a black formal skirt & stalking, if you are the one to love experimenting with looks at different occasions then this combination can be worn at any official event or at any formal dinner date or even at a Indian cocktail/ reception, for a typically unique style statement.

Additionally, It can also be teamed with formal trousers (basic pencil pants) for more simple look at any similar formal occasion.

The fabric is high quality warm velvet in deep purple shade embellished with bold buttons in golden giving it a perfect classic touch. (find in the zoom shots) 

Also for multi styling purpose, if you are planning to attend any wedding function in winters & are one to prefer dressing all shielded in cold weather & at same time want to stay high on your style quotient then teaming this one piece over your ethnic bottoms (dhoti pants/ lehenga) will perfectly rescue you from the harsh winds & weather. 

All you need to play around is with balanced color combination & carry it with a right amount of confidence. Nothing can beat that!

Indo-western from Regalia By Deepika

Heyllo peeps! The Indian wedding season is already here & so is the trouble to find those perfect outfits for the occasions.

As I discussed in my last post, fondly I have bought few outfits from the designer studio named 'Regalia by Deepika' ( http://www.regaliabydeepika.com/ ), after witnessing their stunning collection at their South Delhi based store.

Where my last outfit from their studio was a top in Western cut & style, this another gorgeous one from their designer collection is an Indo-western outfit which  I mixed & matched to create a minimalist yet that classy Indian look, according to my mood.

Since the Indian wedding saga has already begun & we Indians have not just one main event but several pre & post wedding functions to attend, so for one such Cocktail party to attend, I wanted something ethnic yet modern at the same time, for which I could finally stop my search down here choosing & selecting this stunning 3 piece outfit from their studio.

What I adore about this outfit is its simplicity & the subtle color combination of shimmery off white blouse & wine skirt which makes it all the more elegant & graceful to be worn for an evening. The asymmetric skirt with front cut gives a feminine & classy look. And the dupatta with little embellishment adds that perfect Indian touch to it.

Peacock print & tail top from Regalia by Deepika

Love to all my oomphilicious readers, hope we all are doing good. Lately a lot has been running in my head in terms of experimenting with styles & I have quite a new posts coming up in line for which I am visibly happy & excited to share.

Keeping up with our oomph syndrome, I was wanting to play around with some Indian prints & flows while giving some westernized touch to the look . So I was looking around for a designer or a brand who can help me achieve my style & motive. Since previously while working & networking with certain designers & maintaining a cordial relationship with quite of them, I hopped through my personal contacts & considering my present requirements in styling, I recalled one of the designer based out of Delhi, who has some versatile collection in both Indian & Indo-western wear. So I decided to visit them at their studio named 'Regalia by Deepika' ( www.regaliabydeepika.com ) in South Delhi.

After going through their exquisite collection at the studio, I couldn't resist picking up not just this one but several other outfits at a go considering the upcoming Indian wedding season is also knocking at the door & I have few functions to attend. 

Also to my expectations of keeping my look minimalist & elegant at the same time, I could actually find & pair some interesting outfits here as per my mood & different occasions.

This one outfit which I picked for me as I  found it really interesting & distinctive is peacock print & tail top. The most interesting part in selecting this top as I stooped my eyes on it was first, it's beautiful ethnic print of peacock feather design all over & second & the most interesting part was it's flowy tail style with one side off shoulder & other side free flowy sleeves. 

The funniest part I experienced here is that this outfit is bit tricky to  wear & it took  me a while to understand from a merchandiser there as to how to get  into it, this uniqueness made me all the more excited to try it.

As you can see the look & flow, I was  totally impressed with the way it wrapped   around me. The stunning & feminine peacock print & this tail flowing on the ground, is something which makes it a unique statement piece in a fashion savvy girl's wardrobe. 

If you are the one who are bored of the regular lengths & styles & are willing to experiment with your look then an outfit this is a must try to break that monotony. Since I was searching for something distinctive, I found it here in this outfit.

Just in case you loved the outfit but doubt it as you cannot carry this long tail everywhere & anywhere ( I too had while buying but wait for the smart style fix figured out....read on..) then a quick solution to this doubt is by multi-styling the same outfit in a totally chic & casual avatar for already arrived winters. ( Look below)

  

  

All I have done in this look is simply wrapped around the flowy tail part from the back & tucked inside my jeggings by giving it an asymmetric look & worn my denim jacket over it ( can be tried with any leather jacket too keeping the color contrast in mind), to invent a regular winter look out of it.

Isn't it another OOMPH styling with the same outfit by creating this uber stylish look, making it a doubtless & a worthwhile investment to purchase?

Desi Swag in flare pleated skirt

Heyllo! Igniting Oomph Syndrome after a longggg gap. For all the lovely readers of my blog, some of the amazing followers & my constant motivators in life, always appreciating my work, going forward I am trying my best to keep up with frequent postings...I'll make sure I do! ;)

By the way, after Instagram the blog has its Facebook page too now... much OOMPH haan ;) hit the link (https://www.facebook.com/oomphsyndrome/) & be a part of my oomphilicious fam .......

Back to the deets of this post which is all about bringing that desi OOMPH in a semi-ethnic pleated skirt with flair. If you are one of those girls who like to or want to experiment with their existing clothes by recreating a new look in them then I hope this post will help. Also this might solve your outfit syndrome of 'what to wear?' at next coming up wedding season, at least at one of those functions, I wish it does. :)

I bought this skirt some 7-8 yrs back from a store located at GK M block market in Delhi & hardly wore it once or twice & then like those many other clothes it was also dusting somewhere in my wardrobe.

https://www.facebook.com/KARAN-Grover-Photography-177624365768423/

Since I always loved this beautiful sequinned skirt from my collection, I always had in the my back of mind to team it up someday in an interesting way. It was then when I had to attend one of day's function from a friend's wedding diary & I had no new outfit ready that I thought of the experimenting & styling this skirt in an ethnic way. Fortunately, against my doubt of getting it altered first for a waist fit, it fitted in perfectly as I have lost weight.

So instead of teaming dupatta with usual suit & salwar, I teamed it up with this skirt & a blouse which I got designed & stitched in contrast keeping the color & print of skirt in mind. The off white & golden colored blouse with green mirror accessory (I sourced from a local store) hanging on the back dori went beautifully in sync with the flare pleated skirt in ankle length to complete that desi look.

The skirt is ornated with golden sequin work over the prints which enhanced it's ethnicity needed for the occasion. I accessorized it with a pair of simple jhumkis in copper golden color.

Also, the wide flare & multiple pleats in the skirt creates a visually beautiful twirl/ ghera, bringing out the femininity of the whole outfit.

Fabrics: the skirt is in cotton fabric ; blouse is designed using brocade fabric in a golden self design.

Creating different looks:

So all the gorgeous girlies hinting from the look, must know that any such sequin skirt in flare, other than this ethnic styling can also be teamed up with a simple white T shirt/ shirt or with a contrasting top for a semi casual day outing look, I have already tried this skirt with a white T shirt & a casual top too. ;)

So next time you find any such skirt with flared pleats & some Indian bling, don't think twice to grab it as it can be one of your wise wardrobe investment for styling in multiple ways & at different occasions with a swagger ;) 

I would love to see how you recreate this look &  what's your take on the desi swag styling in skirt. 

Multi Styling in a Red Dress

As the color Red itself has so much OOMPH, a red dress is another must have in any fashion freak girl's wardrobe.

If you are the one who has little too much obsession for this color & has a favorite short red dress hanging in your closet which u have already worn it twice or thrice but are bored or skeptical of repeating it again then this post is all about spreading that red oomph again by multi styling in a red dress.

Here are my 3 looks in which one can carry that single red outfit in different styles at different occasions, without being conscious of repeating it again:

LOOK 1: Simply teaming it with a black waist belt & high heels to bring out that balance in red look. 
The dress was purchased long back from Splash store in Pacific Mall, Delhi.

     

LOOK 2: Teaming that red dress with a short shrug over it to give a new skirt like edge in same style. A shade in grey or a black jacket/ shrug like this would do perfect pairing with this look. 
Shrug is from 'Vero Moda' collection.

LOOK 3: Top-like styling in that same red dress by tucking it inside a high waist palazzo pants to create a more formal & classic look.

I purchased these pants long back from 'Zara'.

Keeping the color balancing & contrasting in mind, that's how you can smartly do multi styling & can wisely repeat an outfit, never missing on that OOMPH ;)

Phulkari embroidered dupatta, a vibrant OOMPH! 

Another outfit from my Indian ethnic collection. This is about highlighting a plain black Pakistani style kurti by adorning it with ever beautiful bright colored Phulkari embroidered dupatta. Lately I have been quite obsessed with this gorgeously woven embroidery & it has undoubtedly been one of my most favorite purchases which I have already worn twice, yesterday while celebrating the festival of Lohri & once before at an Indian wedding function. 

Phulkari which literally means 'flower work' has its origin etched in the culture of Punjab. Thus this Phulkari embroidered dupatta also added an oomph to my festivities & turned out to be my perfect #ootn for celebrating Lohri all Punjabi style. However, not limiting to its origin, it has sprang up like an evergreen style statement in all over Indian as well as Pakistani fashion too.

As you can see the floral design & colorful shades of this embroidered dupatta can even make mediocre look exquisite. Thus I have styled my Phulkari dupatta with a plain black Pakistani kurti that I got exclusively designed with some cut styling trends in front & back (leaf cut shaped neck & kite cut in back). The heaviness of threads, colors & mirror work in this dupatta is enough to accentuate & highlight any single & dull color, making the whole attire look vibrant. For more girlish look, its preferable to carry it with blacks & whites to balance the look as the work on dupatta itself has so many colors speaking out. 

So for this wedding season, all the dolls who have been seeking the answer to their most commonly used statement- 'kya pehnu?' despite having a wardrobe spilling with clothes (a usual thing with all of us :P ), you can copy this simple yet vibrant look to bring out that ethnic oomph, all you need to buy is an evergreen Phulkari embroidered dupatta. (I bought it from Chandni Chawk market, Delhi)

P.S: Well you can also create some casual & bohemian looks too with this piece & since I am still not over with my obsession for this dupatta so fashionistas stay hooked on Oomph Syndrome for you will definitely see me playing with it, creating such different looks & statement, in my future posts. Till then lots of love & vibrant vibes to all the readers & followers :)
