Hey everyone!
I hope you all had a great weekend! I visited Crabtree & Evelyn's DLF Saket store yesterday with Apurva from Kalapalette and had a great time!
Would share my outfit and other pictures of the store in the next post!
Today's outfit is what I had worn last weekend when my best friend was visiting me. We went to Select Citywalk to celebrate her birthday and had lunch at Sphagetti Kitchen, though she completely disliked their Italian cuisine! Maybe next time I would take her to somewhere where they serve spicy Indian food :D
Coming back to the theme of the post, whenever I am around with friends, colleagues or fellow fashion bloggers, there's a common topic of debate between us - Thrifted or Branded- which fashion is acceptable?
Personally, I don't care if I am wearing thrifted or branded stuff until and unless they suit me and are trendy!
My wardrobe is a mix of clothes and accessories which I have purchased from many high-end brands like Vero Moda, Zara, Mango ; retail brands like Westside, Lifestyle and also many tops from markets like Sarojini Nagar and GK M Block. And to be frank- I like purchasing high end brands only for special occasions, formal wear or if something really really catches my eye.
I find it silly spending thousands on basic tees from high end brands. So most of my topwear are purchased either from retail brands or markets like Sarojini Nagar and even some Facebook stores and online shopping websites- which I have become addicted to recently.
Below are the pictures from last weekend where I decided to team up my classy ZARA skirt with a printed top which I had purchased from a Facebook store - the tag reads ASOS. Most of these stores get Export Surplus items and thus we get high end brands at very low prices. You should surely check out these FB stores to buy really affordable but trendy clothes.
Enjoy the pictures :D

Your bag is really cute! And i think its silly to confine oneself to brands. My wardrobe is a mix of thrifted n branded stuff.

I don't really care about brands. I really hate fake stuff (something that apes some trademark item of a famous brand) so if I really wanted that item, I would go for the real one. But I don't care so much about trends, either, so :)

I love your blouse. It's really cute and totally appropriate for when the sun is out. I honestly prefer shopping at thrift stores. Even when I was staying in India I preferred shopping in Sarojini rather than in the malls, except maybe for shoes. Branded items can make you look like everybody around you and this is something I don't like. So thrifting it is!!
ReplyDeleteSeeing these photos of Select Citywalk makes me really miss Delhi!!! I hope to visit soon!

Well, I think it is not really right to compare thrifted and branded. I cant replace brand clothes with thrifted.
ReplyDeleteAnd you look great :)
