Is Your Closet Full Of Clothes But You Still Have Nothing To Wear?! - MissMalini

Cluttered v/s Curated wardrobeDo you ever feel like your wardrobe is packed full
of clothes, but you still have nothing to wear! We’ve all been there at some
point. Here are some pointers on how to avoid feeling that way.

 1. 70% of your wardrobe should be basic. By that I mean, white shirt, a pair of
    well fitted jeans, black trousers, white shirt, black jacket etc.

&lt;Sorry! This image is no longer available.&gt;

It’s been a while since I wrote my last blog… that often seems to be the thought
on my mind! It is not something I’ve done much of, or I am particularly good at,
so it’s unusual that I should be missing it. Well I guess I enjoy sharing my
love for style, and helping someone look well turned out!

Sometimes it’s important to make a fashion statement and let the world know that
you are a fashionista. Maybe, usually an understated one, but only by choice

Arshiya Fakih EappenHow can one not but appreciate the gothic, and rock-inspired
Soho fashion swagger, as well as Madison Avenue designer classics! Both so
beautifully inter twined in this city. Other than the endless flagship designer
stores on Madison Avenue, one must visit the Meatpacking District. Some of the
stores I liked there were AllSaints Spitalfields and Diane Von Furstenberg 
(DVF). There are tons of others that one can appreciate, all in line right
there.

wardrobe”‘less crazy”. I keep it really systematic. The outfits are separated
into categories such as, day, night, sports and beach wear. I keep my
accessories in labelled boxes, so I can find them instantly. As far as possible,
I try to get rid of one piece in my wardrobe, for every new addition. I’d be

I picked up the Gulf newspaper one morning (as I am now based in Dubai), along
with a magazine called Scene that comes with it. The cover story was Aishwarya
Rai Bachchan’s weight issue. I simply don’t get this! Not only models, actors
but even fashion designers have been endlessly criticized for promoting models
that are too thin, because it sends the wrong message.
