Dilshad Burman – July 5

A friend that could not make it for my birthday wanted to take me out to dinner. For a lovely casual patio meal, I dug up this outfit…

From Style Per Diem

The skirt: A beige printed chiffon/georgette Mango skirt from as far back as 2002, when winning a Rs.15,000 gift certificate meant I bought my prom outfit that year from the otherwise unaffordable store. I did in fact wear this skirt to the prom with a different, flouncier top. It has a V yoked waist band in a different print, uneven hem with a scrunched fabric trim, and while the detail is lost in the photo, the bottom 6 inches are a separate piece, attached to maximise the mermaid flair. I pose thusly because it reminds me much of a salsa skirt and there was a time I wore it to salsa clubs.

The top: Previosuly posted light white jersey top with a cowl neck and wide band at the waist.

The shoes: Much loved dark red wedges to tie in the brown details on the skirt.

Accessories: A lovely mother of pearl multi-strand bunch that once again, my slightly less adventurous sister let me have after I raided her closet as she packed up to go to sasuraal! Besides that, nothing worth mentioning.

The skirt length bothers me now and I find it a bit long on my frame but the fall of the fabric flatters the hips. It felt exceedingly feminine and decidely flouncy.
