Ever since I got back from my amazing trip to India, I’ve been thinking about how to incorporate my experience into my everyday life. And that’s especially true when it comes to my wardrobe. I want to bring some of the elements I loved about India dress and ornamentation into my style, without looking like a crazy cliche. (Which is certainly a challenge when you come back from a trip where the culture is very different than home.)
This outfit pulls in two elements I love about Indian adornment – fun patterns (thanks to this incredible elephant skirt from J.Crew) and stacks of bangles (courtesy of me, and I’m proud to say I wore these same bangles all around India). I also love how mixing in menswear elements (a boxy blazer and loafers) tones down the skirt and makes this look work for day. And of course, if it’s cold or your office requires it, feel free to mix in a great pair of tights. (Bonus points if they aren’t black!)
