Navratri Wardrobe Ideas- Go Contemporary!


Cheers! The festive season is just round the corner! The groovy nine nights of Navratri is one of the most happening festivals in Gujarat. Colorful flares, oxidized jewelry and those lovely embellished dupattas- the market is full of amazing ethnic stuff these days. Every year, even if I don’t want to shop, I make it a point to walk through these colourful markets to take in the beauty and excitement surround this wonderful season.





Heavy chaniya cholis with silver and funky jewelry is the usual dress code followed during this time. But style is all about being different and most important- being You. So I tried some wardrobe variations that would be apt for Navratri as well as blend with my preference for simplicity.


The outfit that is shown in the pictures is a black cotton trouser and crop top coordinate. I draped a colorful dupatta over my shoulders and held it in place with the help of a stretchable waist-belt. I pulled out the outer edges of the dupatta so that my hand movements would not be obstructed and to get that contemporary slanting hem-line. Overall, it looked like a colorful tunic over trousers. There- my festive dress was ready!

 For accessories, I usually prefer golden and colorful jewelry. So I ditched the regular oxidized ones and picked up some golden accessories with colorful stones from my collection . It’s not necessary to have matching earrings and necklaces and hand jewelry, you can mix and match to create interesting ensembles. You can even experiment by using your jewelry differently. I used one earring as maang-tika and the other one from the pair as a ring. Finally, added golden chunky heels from Tic Tac Toe to complete my glam-festive look!


Since the Navratri celebrations begin after dusk, you can opt for smokey eyes like I’ve done in the pictures. But go light with the foundation or just use a primer and seal it well with translucent powder to avoid a dripping base after few hours of dancing.

For creating such looks, you can even opt for bright and colorful palazzo and crop-top or skirt and crop-top coordinates. But make sure you use a stretchable waist-belt and not leather or beaded belts for they won’t give a good grip to the dupatta.



I hope you liked my contemporary Navratri look. Like I always say, wear what makes you happy, for that is what makes you look beautiful!

Enjoy the festive season!

Love,
Bhavs

Diary Of A Single Girl

 Wednesday, 2nd March, 2022 It's already the third month of an eventful year! While entering 2022 with a sleepy head at home I didn't have the slightest idea what beautiful surprises were coming up, or well, the wonderful opportunities that I would be creating for myself. Today, as I sit under the morning sunshine on a cold sunny day in the Himalayas, the last sixty days of my life bring a feeling of exhilaration- the bliss of learning and rising higher. The tides of life can be much to handle at times. But it's supposed to be that way, else how would we find a better version of ourselves? In Search Of.... We're all searching for something- from materialistic possessions to true love and above all, a happy life. Well for me, my short-term goals were clear- beaches and snow....lolz...yes the travel bug. And why did I want these? Because they were a part of my ultimate goal of having a beautiful collection of memories of life. Goa February is a month that makes most singl

I Am Precious

“It’s always the right time to start being yourself…for in the chaotic journey of life, there is nothing more Precious than your real Essence” These are the days of podcasts and audio-visual content. But I find it liberating to write/ type down my thoughts. Hence this blog will always be special to me…after all, it was a Birthday Gift to myself in 2016! Talking about gifts, the idea of self-gifting always clicks to me. I see it as an essential routine of self-love and self-care, leading me to perceive myself as a special person (without being a narcissist). Losing Oneself in the Journey We all play different roles at each stage of life. Starting off with being a good kid, an ideal student, the perfect partner, the right employee or a successful entrepreneur, the best parent….too many expectations! Most of these roles involve other people and groups. And while these different set-ups can nurture absolutely well, being a part of groups can be taxing on one’s real self. The other

How To Create Your Own Fairytale

Image
Happily Ever After - these three beautiful words are written at the end of every fairytale. We’ve all been brought up reading and listening to these beautiful stories. The simplicity of these anecdotes still fascinates me and reinforces the hope of having a perfect world and a blissful life but alas! Most of the time reality is quite different. As we grow up, we tend to give in to the chaos happening around, letting the fairytale vibe escape away. We all go through ups and downs in life and over the years I have realized that fairytales don’t spontaneously exist- but they can be Created. Practically- a fairytale is just a state of mind. So while life goes on as dictated by the Universe and your destiny, you can script your story within its boundaries. With the strongest desire of living a fairytale life- these are my little attempts: Living in a realistic bubble When I was a kid, often I used to come back from school crying because my friends used to make fun
