See, How Mouni Slays It!

February 24, 2023 16:50 IST

Don't have enough occasions to dress up? And itching to get glammy and sundar?

Well, the warm months are nearly here and with it comes opportunities to wear cropped and sleeveless fare and chota-chota shorts and bask in the sun in languorous celeb-genre poses with a mocktail.

Holi is a few days away and when the morning's colour throwing blitzkrieg is done, it's time to take out the crisp spring ethnic ensembles and daintily eat chaat and sip thandai, cellphone cameras on 180 degrees rotate.

Women's Day, which falls on March 8, should offer a reason to get gorgeous and celebrate femininity with utterly girlie getups but naturally in pink.

The exciting, new wedding season is ongoing and more extravagant than ever and most of us need Sun Tzu-type strategies, worthy of going to war, to get out there and outshine the throngs of dolled powder-pancaked aunties at wedding receptions.

Get cracking, ladies.

If you are falling short of ideas, welcome welcome, be our guest and peruse the best dressing of the week...

Super good pairing, Mouni.

Like we told: You don't need an occasion to gussy up, not in this selfie-driven duniya -- just put on your best duds and go sit in your parked car, babes.
