STYLE SWAP TUESDAYS - NYFW EDITION

Nothing beats the excitement of having your outfit custom-made and wearing it too !!!!

This entire outfit was made to order back home in India and delivered just in time for NYFW. This fusion outfit has three different pieces:

DHOTI ( the pants )

KURTI ( the tunic )

BANDI ( the vest )

I am totally in love with this piece and have plans to mix-match these with other pieces in my closet.

In case you missed, my first look for Leanne Marshall presentation can be found HERE.

While I was in NYC a couple weekends ago, I learnt some rules of this game called NYFW :

do your homework – there is a lot that goes on any given day, plan your itinerary ahead of time and feed your phone with all that data
bring multiple phone power banks– with all that presentation coverage, snapchat, social media shares and insta-stories, you won’t even realize how fast the battery would drain. I had three and they weren’t enough for a day
carry some snacks– going 8 hours straight without food does no good to anyone. While water is readily available around the venue, food can be bit of a challenge. There was a coffee shop inside Skylight Clarkson Sq, but when you have multiple shows, there is no time for a food break. So make sure, you have some nuts and power bars in your handbag.
keep your high heels at home – believe it or not the wait-in-line time is much much longer than the actual show-time. The designer presentations usually last for ten minutes, but the waiting time outside the venue is an hour and sometimes even more.
have all the essentials handy– when I say essentials, I mean mint, gum, lip gloss, hair brush, oil absorbing wipes and fragrance testers for the convenience of it. A quick run to the bathroom to freshen up would just keep you going.
