Dilshad Burman – July 11

For some reason any Akshay Kumar movie hits this one theatre downtown. All other hindi movies do not and go to far off suburbs. Such being the case I decided we MUST go watch it, come hell or high water. So my one and only Indian friend from school, the manly man and I went out for a random night of Akshay-Kareena naach gaana, a UFC match on TV I tried not to watch, fondue and drinks. It was a somewhat warm evening and I wanted to be breezy…

From Style Per Diem

The pants: Previously posted white Old Navy summer cargoes that fold up and tab down. Still loving them.

The top: A lovely cotton smock blouse that arrived in my birthday package last year from home. I love the delicate print on the yoke and waist band that ties on the side like a sash. Extremely breezy, extremely comfy.

The slippers: Current favourite gold and copper kohlapuris.

Accessories: I wanted to keep the gold accents going so I chose a previously posted gold chain with a large coral bead pendant and some dull gold bangles. I didn’t want to over-do it with the gold though so I went with these ear-rings in keeping with the floral motif on the blouse.

I carried a rose pink pashmina with me for when it got cooler and a black satchel bag. The ease and comfort of this outfit needs to be mentioned again – especially since it allowed me to go from a movie to casual evening at a friends house to entertaining kids to making fondue (carefully) all without breaking a sweat. Lesson: Komfort is King.
