How to glam up your work look!!- Part I- Monday

So today...I feel like writing about fashion..... rather fashionable office wear! Yes having a blog named 'Xpressions Unltd' gives me the liberty to write about anything and everything under the sun! ;)

So coming back to office wear! Have you ever noticed the office going crowd in Mumbai? Somehow they all look the same in a salwar kameez with their typical handbags and lunch box or laptop bags or in a plain black/beige trouser with a plain formal button down shirt! There are very very few people who dress differently.... who make even a Monday or a Wednesday look glamorous! And no you don't have to be working at Vogue or a fancy agency like O&M to look glam! Yes we don't have great weather in Mumbai.. so that rules out layering cloths or wearing crisp jackets. And our fabulous transport system (read trains)definitely doesn't allow one to wear a pretty silk blouse with stilettos and reach office without a wrinkle on the blouse or broken ankle or heal. So for most of us its comfort over style.

So I decided to explore some options to glam up up my week... n not just look forward to that one Friday for which i will save up that perfect skirt or the pretty lace top.

So here you go:

Monday

I usually prefer to wear White on Monday! Don't know whats my fixation with white... yes its my favourite colour.. but ya...Monday means white! :-|

So a pretty white blouse with a grey wide legged pants with a killer pair of pumps with some accessories. You can add a splash of colour with your bag or even with your shoes. Below is a dekho:



White blouse: a crisp white shirt is a must have. You can grab one from Mango/M&S if not you can even head to one of the stores on linking road.

Grey wide legged pants- Promod, Mango, Zara.

Bag- The one in the picture is a Birkin.. but you ll get imitations of this at the bag store opposite Leena Mogre Gym, Bandra.

Accessories- Linking Road has got these owls in various patterns, colours! they are super cool...and cheap!

Shoes- Aldo, Tresmode if not good old linking road. Also check out this store called Shoe Society near Bonobo, Bandra.

Tuesday to Friday... Coming Soon :)
