outfit of the day Archives - Cherry on Top

Hi, guys! Happy Tuesday to all of you. This is going to be the first OOTD of 2017 and I am really excited about it. I have not done an outfit post in a long time so, I think it would be exciting to you too! Today’s post is in association with Indian Bow Tie Company which is a brand that makes the quirkiest bow-ties from different fabrics and they are extremely stylish.

Let’s start this post by writing a little bit about the brand, Indian Bow Tie Company. As their website says, “Indian Bow Tie Company is an exclusive brand based out of Jodhpur, India. We offer you a wide range of hand-made bow ties. We’re a bunch of people just trying to provide a solution to anyone looking for the perfect bow tie for any occasion.” All their bow-ties are handmade and exclusively designed. You get a vast range of products to choose from. These bow-ties are made of different materials like cotton, satin and wood. Their products are so versatile that you can pull them off for any occasion from casual to formal and add some edge to your outfit. You can also customise your bow-ties as per your own taste. Check out their website to find a few for yourself!

In this post, I am going to show you how I styled my bow-tie that I got from the Indian Bow Tie Company. First of all, let me tell you a little bit about this bow-tie. So, this bow-tie is from their new collection which is the 2016 collection. I really love the snakeskin pattern on this. This particular design had been everywhere throughout 2016- from shoes to purses to dresses. I feel this design gives a very edgy and classy look to the entire outfit. This snakeskin bow-tie is made of pure cotton fabric and has buttons on the two sides as closure.

Now, to my outfit. I wore this full-sleeved oversized sweater and paired it up with a pair of slightly faded blue jeans. I really loved the colour of the sweater. I had worn too much black for the past two winters so I thought of bringing back some lively colours to my life (read closet). I love baggy, oversized sweaters. They are the comfiest thing in the world. This particular sweater has thickly knitted and keeps you warm and cosy.

The jeans have a great fit. They are not too tight or too lose. They are just perfect for me.

The shoes I am wearing are just regular sneakers that have some glittery effect to them. These are the shoes that I literally lived in since I got them.

The best thing about the Indian Bow Tie Company bow-ties is that they can be used in so many different ways. You can wear this with a basic shirt or a shirt dress to give it an oomph or you can wear it as a choker. It’s totally up to you. We have always seen a bow-tie as a formal accessory, mostly related to men’s fashion, but that’s not the story. There are so many ways women can flaunt a bow-tie, that too with style and class.

Summer is here and we all are polishing up our summer fashion to beat the heat and look fashionable at the same time. I am no exception. When it comes to choosing clothes for summer, I become very picky. Not all colours, cuts, and fits fascinate me. I like light-weight, breathable materials, soft, pastel colours and of course unique designs. Jabong has stocked up some extremely exciting items in their summer-store that cannot get unnoticed. I chose a printed blue dress from Lara Karen’s Spring Summer 2016 collection available exclusively on Jabong.

Today, I thought of sharing an outfit idea with you that you can wear on a regular basis- for brunches, shopping dates, movies, college and even for work. I tried to keep it simple and fashionable at the same time. Let’s jump into the pictures-

The dress by Lara Karen is made out of a very light-weight cotton fabric (however, I don’t think it’s pure cotton) which is really comfortable. It has the perfect length, just like how I like a daily-wear dress to be. The hemline is perfect for me, it makes the dress breezy and flowy. It has a mandarin collar which might be a little uncomfortable for summers but I like it because it gives a really formal, chic look. This dress has front buttons which I really like as I feel it is easier for me. Also, it has a small chain on the side. There is a cinch at the waistline to enhance the body shape which is great. This dress has short sleeves that go well with the entire look.

The bag I have paired up with this outfit is by a brand called Kiara and it is available on Limeroad. This bag is huge so you can carry your world with you. It is a perfect structured satchel which is great for work or college. The pastel baby pink colour makes it really chic and does not limit the usage. You can even carry it to the movies. Although you can use it formally but it does not look completely formal. I hope I made some sense. This bag has two adjustable straps making it easier for you to carry. The only thing bothers me about this bag is its weight. This bag is a bit on the heavier side.

The white sandals I wore are from Styletag. I got these last winter when they were on sale. These sandals are the comfiest thing ever! They fit perfectly, did not hurt and I did not get any blister which is usual for me whenever I wear a new pair of shoes. I thought white shoes would complement the outfit well and make it more summery as well.

I did not accessorize the outfit much only because I do not like over accessorizing my outfits in summer. I wore a watch which I bought from a thrift store. Not a branded one but it definitely goes well with my outfit. What do you think? The pair of round sunglasses I wore is from Lenskart.
