Outfit of the Day: Cobalt Monochrome

By Abhilasha from Looking Good Feeling Fab

I am absolutely obsessed with those glossy beauties we call fashion magazines. Every month I wait with baited breath for a glimpse of those extravagant covers, the gorgeously detailed clothes, those Swarovski studded high heels and the dope on the latest fashion trends to hit the runways of the world.

Trends…fashion trends..let’s talk about those, though they all look great in the magazines and on those supermodels, if you asked me to try some of them, I would say “hell no” and run for my life till I knew there was considerable distance between you and me. Black lips “hell no”, low rise jeans with a crop top “hell nooo” undergarments peeking out “hell nooo,” monochrome bright colour from top to toe?? Well hell no!

So, that’s what I thought when I noticed the trend of wearing a single colour from top to toe, well I am a very classic fashion kind of girl and always believed in pairing solid and printed separates. Well that’s what my mom taught me and I listen to her.

But then came along the opportunity to do a guest blog for IMBB, and trust me, this is huge for me, Thank you Rati and Sanjeev 🙂

I have been a closet admirer and fan of the blog for long and have always enjoyed the lovely interactions that continue in the comments section, always wanted to be a part of it and this was perfect.

So, I decided to go out of my fashion confines, let loose, and try one of those “hell no” trends. I dipped myself in cobalt monochrome from lids to ankles. Yes, I know I cheated a little with my neon shoes, but can you blame me, I am loving everything neon this season and could not let go of an opportunity to add some neon.

About Me:

I am a creature of habit that gets excited by any hint of newness in life..
I am an engineer and an MBA who always yearned to study and work with fashion..
I love wearing high heels but I always carry flats in my bag..
I juggle many roles everyday but my day revolves around my role as a mother..
I thrive on the frantic manic pace of my weekdays when I find myself longing for lazy Sundays..
I am a fitness freak who loves to eat beautiful yummy food..
I dream of an adventurous, gypsy life but on holidays I find myself seeking the familiarity of my city Pune(India)..
I am fiercely independent but ever so often I look for my fabulous Mr. Right’s approval..
I can go on and on about the contrasts of my very conventional but beautiful life but I think I must stop before I tell you more than you would like to know
Thank you so much for taking time out to know me better.
I am Abhilasha Mehta.
