Dilshad Burman – July 17
We had some very close friends over for dinner, and since I wasn’t cooking and simply watching and making yummy noises as the manly man made a pork roast, I was able to dress in this nice dinner-at-home to friday-night-jazz club outfit..

The jeans: These are once again the new favourite birthday jeans which have become my default night out dressy jeans of late. As mentioned earlier, they are super flattering in all the right places and fall well in somewhat trouser like fashion. They are sans zipper, with buttons that go down from the waist to the lower end of the side slit pockets and it basically does up like a big tab in the front.
The top: I could try and promise that this is the last of this silhouette that you will see on me, but I’d be lying. This sleeveless pin tuck top is almost a shorter version of previously posted tunics with a few subtle differences. It has a shirt collar that opens up to a low V and if you look carefully you can see the ruched fabric detaling on the sleeves. I layered it with a black tank to add some depth to it and kept the tie at the bust line fairly loose. I simply ADORE the bright orange colour and was told it looked good on my skin tone more than once.
The shoes: I put on the out-of-character birthday T-strap sandals for height and stability as well as to tie something in with the top.
Accessories: Aside from the ever present silver I swapped out my balis for these lovely turquoise shards that I picked up in Goa about 4 or 5 years ago. I liked the way the blue popped against the orange of the top. I left the neck empty to avoid over crowding.
I liked how much this outfit made me feel like my mommy – understated and mature with some fun thrown in.
