Fashion is…

Fashion is choosing the right type of attire that keeps you comfortable throughout the day.

Who chooses your clothes?

Earlier my sister used to choose my clothes till I started figuring out my own outfits.

Do you wear accessories?

I do, however not much. I like leaving my neck bare without any accessories if I am wearing a dress. But I do love wearing junk jewellery as well.

Do you follow any brands?

Yes I do follow a couple of brands. Dolce and Gabbana and Mango are my favourite choices for casuals.

Favourite shopping destination?

Dubai and London are my favourite shopping destinations.

Your most expensive buy?

I recently purchased a Dolce and Gabbana footwear worth fifty thousand rupees.

Clothes you are comfortable in?

Jeans and T-shirts are the best to keep you comfy and cosy in.

Must have in your wallet?

I don’t carry much. There has to be a lip gloss, a packet of tissues and of course my mobile phone.

Your Favourite perfume?

Elizabeth Arden Eau De and Blue Berry are the perfumes which I tend to use a lot.

Describe sale in one word?

Pleasurable

Currently your wardrobe is overflowing with?

My wardrobe is currently over flowing with plenty of jeans and T-shirts.

You have had the hardest time getting dressed for?

Not that I have a hard time dressing up, but I don’t really plan on what to wear beforehand. That really puts me into trouble.

Any fashion disaster you have come across recently?

Not recently. I remember dressing up pathetically for a beauty pageant and maybe that’s the reason I ended up losing. I was just seventeen then.

If you had to choose a fashion era; which period would it be?

I think it would be the nineties fashion era. The people then really had a different sense of dressing and grooming. I also feel that fashion sense is slowly making a comeback.
