So, Continuing from my previous post ... these are the 'Night' Looks.
Now before y'all go ahead and start judging me you should know a little something about Dubai. While it is a great city, shopping paradise and yada yada yada ... It is definitely fighting for the top position in the category of - City where world's most superficial, materialistic and show-off people live.
Don't get me wrong, I am not the one to generalize and put everyone in a box but if you have been there or lived there, you'd know what I mean. Everything and everyone is about the bling-bling, there. What car you drive, which vicinity you live in, who are your friends, where do you hang out over the weekend, where do you take vacation, what hand bag you carry (catch my drift, yet?) will determine how people treat you! Therefore, having lived there and been aware of the society, I was still not bling enough. In fact I would probably even be under dressed on most times ...
Now ... go ahead! ... Judge me ;)

didn't realise the dress was cut like it is look 5- love it! Also love those green shoes... Haven't lived in Dubai, but what you're saying lives upto what I'd imagined it would be like somehow...But then almost most places seem to be bitten by the 'where do u live/shop/travel' bug :) such people always amuse me :)
ReplyDeleteYeah even I didnt realize the dress in look 5 was cut like that. I remember seeing a skirt look earlier :D
ReplyDeleteFriends often tell stories about the bling quotient of dubai. I just want to visit the souks once. About the show off bug, I am bitten by what books you read bug. We all belong to different ends of the spectrum, may be. :)
love all the outfits!! can't pick one :)
ReplyDeleteand those green stilettos are so sexy..
Loved all the looks and i cudnt care less abt the bling thing! Its just to ott. i had rather prefer to see u this way. :) Cant wait to read abt ur weekend.
ReplyDeleteI've never been tempted to stop off at Dubai, it seeems very artifical and that's not my scene.
ReplyDeleteYou, on the other hand, look fabulous! I love how tiny your waist looks in the blue skirt and I'm adoring you in the maxi dress. xxx
Look 1 , 2 & 5 are the ones that i totally vote for!! And I am in love with the green shoes!!
ReplyDeleteLove the Miss Sixty dress. Such a fantastic cut and colour. And though I've never been to Dubai I've heard the same about it.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love all of them.
ReplyDeleteAnd I would totally steal your miss sixty dress.
:)
I love the little strip jacket.
ReplyDeleteWe were planning to go to Dubai my husband was looking at working there just before the downfall.
We were pleased that we never went.
Have a happy week
Hugs

Oohhh the maxi dress. I love love lovr how you've styled it. The blue vintage skirt looks awesome too! Them Dubai people can eat their heart out!
ReplyDeleteYou know a lot of people say the same thing about Delhi and it's people, I've never felt that the only thing I feel from Delhi is their warmth and love. I've heard horror stories about the superficiality of Dubai from a friend. So maybe some stereotypes are true afterall.
I soooo agree about Dubai I've been there enough times to know that it is really superficial and materialistic.
ReplyDeleteYou look great in all your outfits!! Your dress in look 3 is so pretty and look 4 looks really well put together.
great outfits:)
ReplyDeletethe third look is my ultra-favourite one! <3
ReplyDeleteDubai must be a very strange place (I've never been) - somehow artificial, I would imagine. You do look totally lovely, and not ONE BIT underdressed in my eyes!
ReplyDeleteI thought New Delhi is the city where world's most superficial, materialistic and show-off people live....
ReplyDeleteSecond in list Chandigarh.
People in Dubai cannot beat Panjabis in show off....we are the best..
LOVE THEM ALL!! But the striped bodysuit and blue vintage skirt is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteIm totally smitten with your black dress. It has the nicest detailing and I love the shoes you paired it up with. Have a fantastic Monday, darling
ReplyDeleteKisses
I have heard similar things about Dubai. Your aunt has great taste - the ruffled dress is so cool!
ReplyDeletexoxo,

ReplyDeleteLook no.5 is my favourite! The bright green/yellow really look good on you.
ReplyDeleteWell I'd have to say that you must have fit in perfectly! LOVE that dress your aunt gave you. It's stunning! And can't wait to hear all about your weekend :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh, how could you ever be considered underdressed!
ReplyDeleteBtw, I'm so in love with that paperbag blue skirt of yours:)

ReplyDeleteSo glad you had an awesome time! As usual that stripy red jacket has a special place in my heart, but i do love your stripy top teamed with bold coloured skirt too!

Now then, can't wait to hear the shenanigans!

ReplyDeletei didn't know that dubai was that superficial!

ReplyDeleteDidnt know that about Dubai.. but I guess the stronger the "shopping craze" in a particular place, it does tend to get a bit show-off-sy.
Tanvi, you're looking absolutely fabulous in the miss sixty dress. Totally love the dress, the shoes, the bag, the way you've done your hair! awesome!
ReplyDeleteIsnt Delhi the same too? punjus are found of showing-off. I should now I am a punju too:-)

ReplyDeleteLuurve that psychedelic dress (look 5) very retro, but not so!
OOOOOHHH...i love what you said about Dubai...I think we need to send his blogpost to Wikipedia for them to revise their definition. What say??
ReplyDeleteReally like the blue vintage skirt...and the contrasting purse is stunning. I just saw ur photo with from your blog conference and you are wearing the same striped t-shirt with trousers. It's wonderful how the same top has given to completely unique looks. Very impressing.
Lemon yellow peep toes...SWEET!
