When MissMalini asked me to send in something on wardrobe essentials I thought – this will be a breeze. Well, I ended up giving it a lot more thought than I imagined I would!
As Coco Chanel said, “I don’t understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little, if only out of politeness”.
So what are the must-haves? Personally, it is never about what’s “in” or “out” but what you’re feeling at the moment. I’m an “EmotionalDresser” – to quote Patricia Fields – (Carrie’s Stylist from SATC) You must have apparel that displays all the different sides of your personality.)
My wardrobe is a mixed bag – from pussy bows to power shoulders! Snatches of all the places I’ve lived in and traveled to – bustling Bombay, easy going Melbourne, contradictory London, busy Bangalore and fantasy lands I inhabit at different times!
Lace – even if just on a collar – makes me feel uber feminine.
Neo-sport for when I want to let my hair down, bring on the laughter, a margarita with my BFF, pop by a haberdashery and look good while doing it!
Soft details in pastels for when I feel pretty & peaceful with my world.
When I want to be transported to a different place I just thrown on my Vintage — and pretend I am in a different era.
For days when I’m meeting someone important at my studio or just to give my work day a lift, these smart wraps and statement pieces make me feel beautiful yet professional.
An LBD when I want to feel special and… an LBD from my collection to pamper my soul!
