With
the temperature rising way past the 90's this week,stores have locked away
their woollies and put out their bikinis while people seem to have discarded
their boots and ballet pumps for more sensible sandals and flip flops.
My family has been on holiday for the last few weeks so to celebrate their return my husband and I decided to
take them out to dinner. One look at the soaring
temperature and the idea of eating al fresco was quickly vetoed and instead a
noisy yet filling dinner at the Dubai Mall was decided.
Now Dubaiyans will agree with me that going to Dubai mall,
be it for a casual bout
of window shopping or dining, one must strive to look their best! With this in
mind I tried my hand at some comfortable causal chic. Take a look at my outfit
below.
1. Multicoloured printed Kurta dress from India (street
fashion)- Approx AED 50-100.
A friend of mine gifted this to me and it is
actually a kurta. Since I’m short and the sides of the Kurta does not have
slits I decided to wear it like a dress. If you are a tall person then you can
just as easily combine this with a pair of skinny jeans or shorts depending on
where and what look you are going for.
2. Sandals with rhinestone detail from ALDO- AED
60 on sale. AED 130 full price.
3.Yellow drop earrings from No Limit(Sri Lanka)- AED 5.
4. Brown eyeshadow from INGLOT- AED 50.
5. Lobello lip stain- AED 10.
I decided to keep my make up light and airy so as to combat the sticky weather outside. The breathable cotton fabric of the Kurta kept me oh so comfortable and able to enjoy my meal.
To complete the ensemble, I added a white tote bag (just because it was the easiest way to carry the mountain of things I always have with me). To glam up this look exchange the flats for a chunky wedge or silver stiletto and the tote for an embellished clutch.
As always i'd love to hear your thoughts on today's look so be sure to like and leave me a message at the bottom of this post. Do the same if you want to discuss how to get a similar look for yourself.
Until next time! xx
