Today marks the third anniversary of StyleDrive! I am trying not to be too excited but excitement is shamelessly gripping me. It's been a rather eventful journey and I have thoroughly enjoyed every step involved! I genuinely want to thank  all of you for showering me with so much love, kind words and for being patient. Now I don't mean to make a big deal out of this, hence let's get to the outfit!

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you probably have seen both these pieces styled differently before. I love pairing this sports inspired t-shirt with my ripped boyfriend jeans for the day and this gorgeous fitted skirt with silk blouses for the evening. But recently while stalking one of my favourite websites,  whowhatwear.com,  I came across this article which made me want to mix these two up! I love the idea of pairing almost everything with a simple tee. One, because it makes any outfit look casual yet chic! Plus you get the freedom to accessorize like a queen.

I have spoken about my love for cobalt a bunch of times before. And if you've been following me for a while you're probably accustomed to my partiality towards all hues of blue. So there was really no questions asked when I saw this skirt and instantly added it to my cart! The asymmetric hem adds a modern look to something which would have been a simple pencil skirt. I added my favourite black heels, my everyday bag and these glasses that I recently snagged from Forever21! Aren't they perfect to turn any look into a Geek Chic one?

College Fads

College years for me were one of the most celebrated days. Not only was I fortunate enough to make great friends but I luckily also met my sweetheart through my best friend! Frankly there is nothing that I would like to change from those glorified years except maybe being a little more experimental when it came to my outfits. Now, I'm a Virgo and we seem to follow rules and all that. My alma mater appeared to have quite a few restrictions when it came to clothing: - no sleeveless, no short dresses or skirts and all that. And hence I reluctantly stuck to my basic jeans and blouses.

When I put together this outfit, I was aiming at creating a weekend appropriate look but I realized that this is essentially so college friendly. Not only is it super comfortable and modish, it also seems to get through all the restrictive barriers that a college might throw at you! The midi dress is super relaxed and the hue is perfect for this time of the year. I threw on a plaid sheer shirt to add a dose of print. And these burgundy sneakers from Forever21 fit in perfectly.

It’s always gratifying to break rules but it’s even more pleasurable to find your way around them. Unlike what I assumed, you don’t always require to show skin to look stylish. All you need are some basic, flattering pieces, that work around the regulations and tons of pieces to layer with. Another quick fix is accessorizing. Not only will it accentuate the ensemble further but it will also make it seem like you put in an effort even at 7 am! So next time you're wondering what to throw on, give this look a go!
