Combining two of my favorite trends, neon and monochrome turned out to be more fun that I had expected it to be. The monochrome trend has been doing rounds in the fashion world for quite a while now, but to add more interest and jazz to a monochrome outfit, what could be a better option than neons! A little color doesn't hurt anyone. The tank is so much more brighter in person, only if the camera could catch the true color of this summery piece.

This outfit is very comfortable and perfect for going out for some casual shopping on Sundays or for brunch with friends. A lot of you also go to the gyms in malls and this outfit can very multi-functional in that direction also. The leggings and tanks would be perfect for sweating it out and just put on the shirt as a cover-up, put your hair in a messy voluminous pony and the necklace to top it all off to perfection. Gyms in malls are no excuse to walk around in your tracksuit, girls! You never know, you might just run into your high-school crush in the mall while making your way out to the parking and I would take overdressed anyday over underdressed! Stay fab!

Yes, you read it right. The sophisticated clown. That's what A thought I looked like when I stepped into his car that day. I was aware I looked different, I had tried to look different. Sometimes, all you need is a fresh change. You are not always sure if it's good or bad but you need to take risks to branch out of your comfort zone. I was particularly aiming for something new when I woke up that morning. I put in extra effort in my hair. And I personally feel, it turned out great. Who would have thought milkmaid braids could actually be pulled off on a trip to the mall. I didn't. But, I am happy I proved myself wrong.

The clown part is a reference to the pops of red against the almost monochrome outfit. It does look a little clownish, don't you think? But in a cool comfortable charming way. I like it.

I also opted out of wearing heels for the shoot. The whole point of this outfit was comfort, and let's face it, none of us has the guts or the feet to brave a whole day in the mall on our toes and pointy sticks, now do we? I once got a comment from a reader that wearing heels could have made the outfit look better, I agree. But, I am not going to abide by this insignificant rule anymore. I am not here to show you the perfect outfit, I am here to share my opinions and my style. Of course, heels can take the whole outfit to another level and I will do shoots with heels but mostly when I am actually wearing them.
