WIW: red and black

According to me, Indian clothes are very awkward to layer over in winter. But come spring and summer and there couldn't be anything more stylish or more comfortable!

Today, I'm wearing a silk kurta that I got made before my wedding along with a churidar (Indian style leggings). I repeated the necklace from yesterday since gold goes so well with red. I layered my trench over this outfit, but still felt a little chilly so just before I left, I popped my black silk vest over the kurta.

What do you think? :)

    Terrific, Kirti! This outfit is as "classic" as it is Indian, and it bears your signature -- saturated color. Very comfortable and yet sleek!

    Perfect! This is why mine are reserved for summer - just too cold in winter for light cotton!

    WOW, that color is beautiful on you! And the vest is the perfect way to add warmth while still looking light.

  • Kirti replied 12 years ago

    Thanks Rae! I really just added the vest because it was the first thing that caught my eye! So glad I did :D

  • Kate replied 12 years ago

    Wow, you look gorgeous. That shade of red was made for you. The neckline of the kurta and the way the garment skims the body is simply lovely.

  • christieanne replied 12 years ago

    So pretty! I love how that shade of red is perfect for so many seasons also. Inspired to add the vest.

  • Suz replied 12 years ago

    That is STUNNING on you. The red is so rich and yet not too bright. The vest looks wonderful with it! It gives it a great contemporary feel.

  • Sarah A replied 12 years ago

    absolutely lovely! The fit and color of the kurta are amazing, I like the fun black vest as an unexpected element too!

  • Kirti replied 12 years ago

    Thanks ladies! :)

    Sarah A: Thanks! The fit is so great because it was custom made for me :P how I wish I could get everything else tailored too!
