Bows, Quirky accessories and Mixing Prints | Indian Fashion Street style Look

Enlivening tired government officials residential housing, is this street art murals in Lodhi colony , Delhi, which reflects the fun, unpretentious vibe. Settle in around near one of the graffiti walls , take out your camera, and the street children would come hovering around you to see what's happening.

This engaging exhibit of the Minnie mouse hairband, created so much confusion, that for a minute it was difficult for the photographer to figure out what was the agenda of the shoot ? The graffiti, me , or the children . It was a veritable zoo, with these children asking me to lend this hairband, which obviously belonged to my daughter, and as chance would have it, she accompanied me for this shoot for the first time. From window frowns, to raised brows to casting sidelong glances, she gave me indicators of heat in all possible ways from the vicinity of our car, as one of the boys posed along with me wearing my my daughter's headband.

Clearly as you may see , he was having a ball. From distracting us, to murmuring occasional nonsensical  Bollywood numbers, he tried everything to let this shoot never happen . Look he even photobombed me !! All he wanted was this headband, for peace to prevail. It was a fun merger of fashion with the actual street world, which made me realise that fashion is about the common people. And its the common people who make fashion uncommon.

He was glad to accept my offer for letting me wear that headband on his greased hair. After his small rendezvous of  being Minnie mouse , he returned to being human after this brief taste of fashion. 

I think he turned out to be Oprah for me to make me understand that the fashion Gods lies in the smallest of things like a headband. It re-iterated my belief that quirky accessories should be given a try while choosing an outfit, which work wonders like a green olive in Martini, shaken not stirred (007  style).

Minnie Mouse Inspired Hair And Outfit

My Blogging pace has gone for a toss. I remember posting twice a week in the initial days of my virtual  journey. Somehow in my endeavours to present a story and a look with an idea which has not travelled to mainstream blogs, it takes a little more involvement than it does now than before.

In my pursuit for better presentation , Its now become a habit for me or a strategy of caution to work with niche brands, that could not only add value to my blog, but also add value to you all who come here for a weekly catch up with me.

I wore this look for one of the days at Amazon India Fashion week Spring Summer 16. The idea of the double bun was De-Novo , and the eccentricity from the hair had to be matched with the exaggerated shoulders of the tee.

I know you would say I am kidding, but I did my hair in under two minutes. Although this typically resembles a very Minnie Mousish vibe but I think it's kinda Re-imported . I wanted to advertise my talent ( sounds commercial ain't it ?) into something that alludes to my inner style /voice . And then there are debates on why bloggers should work for free, while here I am labouring my ass off . The creativity that is suspended in one blog post, from shooting, to scouting locations , to makeup, to every sweat that trickles down in this half a day process counts. Then there are behind the scenes job that no one ever considers . Countless hours in editing pictures, double that up when your wifi has a mind of its own, and then replying to each and every one of your comments. Phew, it takes time hence coming back on the note we started this post. 

But do you know the catch ? I am pretty confident about and proud of what I do, and want my posts to send a positive message. Every style should tell a story,and every story should outmode other. And if half of you think what I am doing is right , then I am in seventh heaven :)
