Layers.

Living in the Dress-Benzer, Jacket- street buy, Sunglasses-Marc Jacobs, Brogues-Zara

Living in the sweltering heat of Mumbai has taught me one thing: wear as minimal clothes as you can. While this works most of the time, there is another hassle of dealing with the tan that I get wearing clothes that allow for some skin show. To avoid that, I tend to layer up, preferably a jacket or a kimono which are so in this season.

This outfit is also one of those, because the bodycon dress- as darling as it is, gives me a tan so bad it could put tanning lotions to shame. So I decided to throw on this light jacket in an Aztec print, contrasting the nude tones of the dress. The jacket though did nothing for the very flattering silhouette of the dress, so I teamed it up with a thin nude belt to cinch my waist. Also, I’ve been meaning to take these brogues out forever, but never gotten the chance to, but ever since they’ve practically replaced all the other shoes that I have!
