hello everyone! it's been a while, yes? i've had a few posts lined up but my internet has not been co-operating! so annoying!
anyway, you'll be happy to know that i've been putting my time away to good use - by playing fashion samaritan and round the clock stylist to my friends!
meet my friend farozan. she just started a new job and when you're working 8 hours a day, it doesn't really leave you with much time to scour the city for the latest trends and shop till you drop.
{ before }
she was invited to a high profile party this week and really wanted to knock the ball out of the park and experiment with a totally new look.
the catch :
(1) working within a budget of rs. 2000
(2) finding an outfit to flatter her figure and help her look and feel fab!
(3) finding heels to fit a shoe size 42!
i never shy away from a challenge and so, the two of us set out to hill road for a street shopping spree!
{ before }
now farozan is a classic 'apple' - larger on the top than the bottom. i wanted to give her a jacket to skim her sides and help her look more streamlined, with a bright cocktail dress to show of her long legs in a fun way.
street shopping on hill road was an absolute dream. we managed to get her a dress, a boyfriend blazer and accessories, but the only thing bothering me were the shoes!
luck was on our side that day, though, because the first budget shoe store we walked in to ('belly' on hill road), the first pair of shoes i pointed out to turned out to be an adorable snakeskin pair with a moderately high heel that fit her like a dream!
the end result? see for yourself!
{ after }
dress : rs.250, blazer : rs.350, shoes : rs.625, accessories : rs.350,
total : rs. 1575
challenge completed well under budget! but what do we do with the rest? why, spend it of course! we then bought her another dress worth rs. 350 and a necklace worth rs. 100! (not pictured here)

how i love a good chic-over! what do you guys think? share your thoughts in the comments section!
bisou bisou,
