Submitted this look for Bloggers Do It Better Challenge at Pretty Shiny Sparkly
Usually I do not dissect my outfits, as to 'why I am wearing, what I am wearing'. I go with the vibe I wake up to ... Rules be damned! Also, as I have mentioned a numerous times before, I always dress according to the occasion and most importantly the weather. However, this outfit was purely created for the challenge [Prep School] although I have always had a thing for ties. I always wore them with my formal suits (back when I wore formal suits) and no one ever asked me why! Later, I gave away my amazing tie collection to my brother, I wonder if he still has them *hmmm*. Nonetheless, I did wear this outfit and went out in public. Fact!
Now San Antonio (where I live), though is a fabulous city, but just isn't one of the most fashion forward places in the country. Needless to say in comparison I am always the 'most' dressed female in the crowd, unless I am strolling around Saks or Neiman Marcus but who cares, right? These pictures were taken on a Sunday afternoon, near a school and a church, where there were enough passer bys, I am sure wondering what the heck was going on and why I was dressed like a rainbow! But again, who cares, right? I have always loved hot pink and orange together. It is one of the boldest combinations out there. Plus, I think, brought some sunshine to our Sunday afternoon :) ... What do you guys think?
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

You really do it so weel: colour blocking Prep School.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sooooo pretty > You've colour-blocked the two brightest colours so beautifully!
Definitely fun colors! Fun to be the most dressed!
WOW. Thats the right amount of colour i need to brighten up these exam days! THANK U
Loved the combination.The shades,shoes and the tie .Fourth picture is my favorite.
Have a great weekend .
Awesome combination Tanvi! Can I ask you a question totally unrelated to this post? Well, it's got to do with fitness and u r the best person to answer that. What's your take on Reebok Easytone? I'm tempted to buy them but am not sure if they work, or even are comfortable enough. I would really appreciate it if you replied..since I dont write a blog, I'll come back to the comment section to see your answer. Thanks a ton!

woah! That is one BOLD outfit! Only you could carry it off! :)
I love the colours! Hot pink and orange is certainly one of my favourites together!
I have been thinking about that combination a LOT these days. You've killed it lady! One of my favourite posts. I swear, :*
purple-peeptoes.blogspot.com
Absolutely lovely! I adore those colours together, too. I bet all the onlookers looked at you in awe wishing they could be half as colourful. xxx
wow! you did prep style and color blocking 2 in 1...very nice!!
Yes, the pink and orange combination is very nice! And I like the fact that you didn't went for traditional "men" colors (=dark colors)
Anna
Orange and pink make fashionable companions - they sparkle against your fabulous skintone;-)
love the jacket, glad people are opting for androgynous looks!
Ah perfection! I really think people need to dress for them and no one else. Soemtimes people stare and then they get over it! The tie is such a wonderful addition!
F-a-b-u-l-o-u-s!

oooh wee! to answer your question, a serious fashionista.
I cannot get over how amazing you look! Love the bold colour clashes/mix and the way you own this outfit!
Rules are meant to be broken in fashion anyway...

I love this outfit. One of your best looks in my opinion. I need to recreate something like this.
wow, what an amazing pink blazer!! and this look is like a combo of color-blocking and prep school. i love it!
cute & little
I absolutely love this outfit! The colors are fantastic, perfect for your entry!
Have a great day :)
-Ellie
I adore this look! you look amazing!!
This look is PERFECTION! I love it even more that you are a fellow Texas girl, a place where women (in general) aren't too fashion forward. This is a prep look I would wear on the regular!
I was so hoping you would explain the chair...it's so random and that is what makes it so cool. Just there by the lamp post...hanging out. Great outfit, You really took your own spin and worked it!
I’d love it if you would stop by and see how a 45+ year old handles “Prep School”—you might find something to smile about anyway! See you there! http://stillblondeafteralltheseyears.com/2011/05/menswear-american-prep-outfits-modeled-by-women-over-45-bloggers-do-it-better/

I'm laughing because I just bought that jacket at Zara. LOVE it! You have inspired me to wear it another way. xo Mish
I am heading to Zara at lunch to see if I can find this blazer! holy hannah you're a beauty xo
Love your shoes and the bag !!
I love the orange tie with the pink blazer! That is such a fun and summery combo! And the bag was the perfect finishing touch! :)
I believe you when you say San Antonio's fashion sense.
I think it is pretty much same in the USA.
European seems to be more conscious about what they wear when they step out...
Visiting from pretty shiny sparkly...
You look abasolutely amazing. I love the color blocking with this look. So bright and chic.

Aditi,
http://mysartorialsecrets.blogspot.com/
i think you look fab! and you don't seem like the type who would let passersby affect what you wear. so i love your color blocking and am immediately drawn to your awesome pink heels. gotta get me some of those!
I think that's a fantastic look. I have been buying pink and orange flowers together so I think you look great :)
Also, that white chair... That was on the sidewalk? Or didja bring that for props? :D
This entire outfit is perfection!!!!!!! It looks chic and effortless. I'm sure if you were getting long stares it was because of envy. How did she put that HOT outfit together! I love it. I'm inspired today and that hasen't been happening to me a lot lately.:))))
STUNNING!!! I love these 2 colours together! and I LOVE this look! and I love you but you know that!!
...and I love the random placement of that chair!!! Totally Dali!
I seriously love this look honey!
fair to say, this is my most fav look on you to date!!!! i LOVE the bright colors and the mens wear!!!! rules be damned INDEED!

Tanvi, the pink jacket and hubby's tie is genius...luuurve lurrrve the look.
And omg I live in the suburbs and commute downtown everyday and it's such a stark difference when it comes to fashion. I feel like I've traveled from Frumpyville to Fabland within those 40 mins!
You wear this oh so well- I love the bright colors and the pairing and everything.
Wow--amazing colors and fantastic shoes. So hot and so cool.
I'm not surprised to see 94 comments ahead of me -- this outfit is amazing. You really stepped up to the challenge. The outfit works on several levels. Watching you dress is hugely entertaining for me -- and instructive. Thanks!
Looks so good!!!
You go girl! I love the combo of pink and orange....and yes who cares? You look fab. have a colorful and stylish weekend Tanvi.
Tanvii!!!
I love your blog.. seeing as I am a newiee to ur blog, I have only read a few but am loving it!
love the color riot babe . its infectious..
Love the look! Great colors.
THANK YOU EVERYONE! :) This is rather overwhelming. You guys are totally making my day/weekend!
@My Random Ramblings - I have used Easy Tone. The first couple of weeks I felt a 'sensation' in my gluteus when I wore them, which eventually went away. But No! I do not think they magically tone the legs. But they might help along side a regular workout. Hope this helps.
And for those you asked bout the chair - *hehe* It was randomly placed by us. Husband's idea to add props to the shoot. I guess I should have mentioned about it in the post. Thumbs Up! for noticing :)
Have a wonderful weekend.
This outfit is amazing. I really love it.
I love the blazer! I'm looking after a pink too!
You just brightened up my day, lovely! I love that color combination too. Hope you're having a fabulous weekend :)
you are truly lady dabangg!! and that look is super HOT! ouch ;)
Oooh I love that pink blazer!!! :D

OH MY GOD! (and that should be enough to sum up ALLLLLLL the words I can go on and on and on about!)
You really need to consider moving to ASIA and becoming a stylist for these un-inspiring celebrities!
I heart that jacket, whenever i go to zara, i look at it and then I'm like WHERE do i where this in the HEAT here...if only we were the same size, I would stylenap yours! :-p
Keep em coming!
You look superb! Hot pink and orange is a terrific combo. I love how it's all pulled together in this look.
Definitely one of the best I've seen so far. Such a wonderful smashup of colors! And who are those gorg shoe made by...I love 'em!!
For the record, you do not look like a rainbow-anyone who thinks so must not know the meaning of style!!

As someone who also wore ties in my bindaas days, I love this look.

Shocking pink and Bright Orange are two colors which I never liked on myself(as I didn't look good in them!!)...but I must say...you look absolutely stunning...despite the fact that both are really loud colors,they don't stand out separately and blend beautifully together as one integrated unit.. :)
swarnali.1825@gmail.com
u carry the outfit so beautifully...with appropriate sense of attitude!!!this combo is surely a tricky one but u carried it real nicee
