Do you buy new clothes every festival season? Is your closet full of clothes that you have heardly worn? It’s not just you but it’s like every girl’s story. So what is the solution? push them away further in your closet? Nah. I know that was a very pretty dress you wore last Diwali, but hey, no, you can’t repeat that chaniya choli this year too. But yes there is one thing that you can do. ReUse, ReMatch & Restyle your old festival clothes to create new looks for this festival. I think we all have a stylist in ourselves & sure we don’t have to burn our pockets to get entirely heavy clothes to flaunt every festival. It’s not just Diwali or Bhai Dooj but you can do that for any occasion like a wedding or a small party. Why You Should Recycle, ReMatch & ReStyle Your Clothes? It’s not just for festivals. Even if there is a nice pair of jeans that you love with your extra white chiffon top, don’t repeat it every week. Please don’t. You should try to recreate new looks. It actually makes you stand out in a crowd. It really makes you look more aware about styling. You will be the one stylista in your group if you can do that. How To Re-cycle, Re-Match & Re-Style Your Clothes? It’s not a rocket science, at least for the girls. They know it very well. They can just visualize colors, combination, patterns & style in their mind and come up with conclusion. No you don’t have to be a fashion designing student to form your opinion. To Recycle a cloth is not like you are recycling a paper. Running it through a paper shredding machine or something like that. It’s to create a new piece of garment that suits your own and unique style & needs. It should resemble your taste. For example, in case you think net sarees are out, you can anyway get them recycled into net gowns or suits. They are still in. I am in the process of creating something like that which I am going to share with you very soon. To ReMatch is to get another best combination of colors, patterns & designs for your existing clothes. We are in an era where any one can come up with their own personalized style and will not be judged. So you don’t have to step out wearing same churidar with your printed kurti. Become a Mix & Match girl. Go with color blocking pairing & get into the lime light. Redefine your style. Don’t always stay subtle. Experiment. Go glam up. Accessorize. Have fun creating new looks as frequently as you can. Use accessories to change the game. You can chose a statement neck piece, a nice flowing scarf or can go for subtle delicate jewellery. The one thing that you should keep in mind is your comfort. About The Photo Shoot Here I am recreating a festive look from the clothes that I wore last year during the same time period. I got this hot pink brocade long kurta with center slit to pair up with pants last year. I wore it during Karwa Chauth day pooja. While I adorned a beige-pink lehenga for the night ceremony. It is obvious that I can not repeat the same outfits back to back for Karwa Chauth and Diwali, hence I remixed both the outfits & created a new look. To talk about the accessory & styling part, I just opted for a really heavy Mang Tika and that’s all. I did not even wear earrings since there was no scope. I did not opt for any other accessory except a delicate pair of anklets which are hardly visible in the post. Also the golden wedge heel goes very well with both the outfits. I totally adore them. I had no time to style my hair so settled for a messy nape bun. Hope this post will inspire you to create new looks with your old but favorite clothes. Do you have any suggestions to the post?

How To Be A Better You? : Recreate Your Magic

Your Competition Is You. Once you start understanding the meaning of this golden phrase & start following this mantra, you become a better you every single day. But how do you compete with yourself? How often can you do that? How do you really decide which version is better? Today, I am going a bit off track because I have been to wanting to write about this for a long time. Mostly because I wanted to share my experience with you. I count myself as a hard-working and passionate person when it comes to my goals. Yet gloomy days can take anyone down. But I have a sure shot way to come out of those gloomy thoughts with some tips. I have found a way to self motivate myself every single time I find myself procrastinating. Stop Procrastinating: Get Up & Get Going You have been too much into hibernation. Get up now & hit the road. It’s never too late. You can still make it. You are not too young or too old. There are people doing it despite several hurdles. Starting a beauty and makeup blog of mine, while being into the IT sector for about 10 years, was definitely something, a bit unexpected from me. I opted for something I was secretly passionate about. Passion is the key. As long as you have it, you are good. Admit When You Are Wrong I cannot stress enough on the importance of learning from your own mistakes, because when someone else tells you that you are mistaken, you might not respond very well to that. Here is a tweak, if you find it hard to accept your mistake in front of others, don’t do it straight away. Take some time, accept it in your mind and heart. Think out ways to get out of it. Take things slowly. Start working on the things that could make up for your mistake. It works really well with me. Get Out Of Your Cocoon Things might be wrong, but until you start accepting them they are going to stay like that. Accept your mistake or defeat & get out of your shell with a plan B. If plan B fails, don’t worry, we have more alphabets. It’s only about trying harder. In life, we see ups and downs, but they are never constant. Stay ready for everything. Face Your Fear Everybody has them. Some are less bothered while some make a lot of deal out their fears. The first step is to live your fear as often as possible to get it out of your mind. Because it’s all in your mind. I am not asking to pull off stunts like X-factor or Khatron Ke Khiladi here, but something more practical, like approaching people if you are really shy. Yes, it could be as simple as that and as crucial as that. For me, the biggest fear was to come in front of the camera being of introvert nature. But I am dealing with it by facing it every now and then. I am only getting better with every try. Pat Your Back Only you owe to yourself. And only you know the taste of your success. Celebrate your victories no matter how small they are as much as you want to fuel up yourself for the next journey. Your efforts pay at the end, and you deserve that cheerful “YES”. Help Others, Inspire Others It feels so great whenever you help someone in need. It gives immense pleasure and makes you realize you have capabilities beyond your imagination. Plus it always pays you back. Good things come to those who do good things to others selflessly. I will be honest with you, I might never approach someone first to congratulate someone on their success, but I would definitely be the first person, in case he needs help. Express Gratitude The most powerful ingredient to be a better person is to express gratitude with every single thing you receive no matter how small it is. Your feelings are powerful. They attract alike things. If you are happy & saying thank you, you will receive more happiness. Wonderful no? I mean every single word I wrote. Tell me how far have you come to be a better you? Much Love ❤
