Tutu Tales

Sweater: Hand-woven | Skirt + Belt + Boots + Bag: Zara 

Jacket: Topshop | Bracelets: Thrifted 

I have a fixation... for all things essentially girly! (No, that doesn't mean that my favourite colour is pink! Come on!) and all things tom-boyish! Did I hear you say that's two sides of a pole? Let me explain.

You see for most part of the days when I was a teen, my time was spent reading books, watching 'Wonder years', playing basketball, and finding ways to deal with my braces. I was always found in shorts, and t-shirts, and was always the boy of the house!

Needless to say, when this late bloomer took to wearing things that most girls do, the first instinct was to bring down the 'girlyness' (is that even a word?), of the outfit, by adding something edgy. I work with that principle even now, and love the unexpected clash between the soft, flowy, and lady-like worn with the dark, clean-cut, and tomboyish.

This nude sweater with pearl embellishment for example, was perfect for wearing with a tutu-like skirt, and pretty shoes. But my sartorial sixth sense, told me to add a biker jacket, and some tall boots instead - I wish I had knee high ones!!

Smokey kohled eyes, did the trick, and turned an innocent little duckling into the bad-ass Black Swan.

Ready to hit the town now.
Hope you have a good Friday night, and a great weekend!
