Ode to a neckpiece
I bought this glass ring necklace in as soon as I saw it because: 1. It was yellow 2. It tinkles 3. It’s a nice length. 4. Geometry. It has turned out to be a versatile piece and I wear it often. Eighty bucks well spent.
Dress: Batwing dress from ASOS.com.
Shoes: Faux snakeskin ballet flats from Golf in Eilat
Accessories: Necklace, Seiko automatic watch and citrine-in-silver studs.
I bought the dress and shoes specifically with the purpose of having go-to elements to… go… to… when I don’t have the time to worry about what to wear. They do a good job of cleaning me up quickly. The neckpiece here gave a nice dash of colour and I like that it went with the showy elements of the dress (the buttons). The dress has a collar which I wear folded in and sometimes, I unbutton near the shoulder to make it droop.
***
Dress: From Colaba Causeway for Rs 250 for my ‘Rosebud Periera, men’ collection. It has pockets
Accessories: Button belt (Rs 100) from Hill Road; Men’s classic Casio digital watch, specs (-4. Not a style statement).
Shoes: Black Mary Janes.
Without the necklace, the dress looked very schoolmarm-ish. I like the contrast between circle and square.

Dress: Cotton World (Rs 1200), Colaba.
Blazer: Men’s Georgio Milano, black unlined linen (Rs 3740).
Shoes: Faux snakeskin ballet flats from Golf in Eilat
Accessories: Casio G-Shock.
I love Indian prints and this one reminded me of the Mughal ones my mom wore in the ’70s. The dress isn’t cut very favourably but I love how it looks with a long jacket. The necklace adds an unexpected splash of colour and shape breaking the busy-ness of the print, I think.
Educated Tatya, 
Aparna and one other person are discussing.

Both the mary-janes and snakeskin flats are adorable! I really like the dress+blazer look so popular among fashion bloggers and was wondering how us tropical people modify it for our climate. You have pulled it off perfectly in the last outfit.

It works for me only because of an unlined linen blazer and a sleeveless dress inside.
