When I thought to skip this outfit someone told me," No, U can share". That time my courage grows again for this post. I was hesitating cause I didn't wear any accessories and photos were taken almost in the evening (though you can't wear too much accessories with this. Finally edited the pics). This is the same day after shooting the last OOTD I was not enough comfortable to wear any accessories. It was a hot day so I took off all the accessories to prevent the color from sweat . For me it is not a perfect OOTD but It is a FOTD or LOTD (look of the day).

Coming to the kurti. This is a Pakistani style Kurti or long straight Kurti and this is in full demand. This long kurti gives very impressive professional look with ethnic touch. Normally Pakistani kurtis are ill-fitted and mostly picked by fashionistas who like to try something new every time but I got mine fitted. I think it goes with me. Another important thing is you look slimmer in this type of Kurtis. Plus size girls, are you thinking for a trial???? Go ahead...  It can be paired with ankle length leggings or tribal printed treggings,(for single color Kurti) jeans or with a palazzo. So, are you ready for ethnic and funky fashion makeover for office wear?
Accessories: No need of jewelry, Only you can choose a pair of long earrings, wrist watch and flats/heels.
A perfect office or college Look...

                                                                                                                                XoXo

A blogger should be versatile, from this outfit I  have exposed some versatility of Ethnic wear. I have posted OOTD of Kurti before but this one is special cause this doesn't look like a normal Kurti. Being a blogger I don't want to post normal outfits every time and I'm not a fashion designer so I can't design too. (though sometime I design my cloths but that is not professional) So what can I do actually? at least I can buy outfits which looks unique fresh as well as contrasting form our daily outfits and can inject the idea to every fashionable person.

I am my mom's daughter not only by the look also by choice, heart everything... (actually not by heart she is more warmhearted) I was on the hunt for this type of outfit but could not find any good one either in Kolkata or in my Home town. So when my mom called me from Delhi n told me that she was shopping and she found a suit and described about it. Just on first proposal I told her to take it. My mom found exactly what I want. She has a pretty good fashion sense and I inherit the same. She did a generous amount of shopping for me and my sis, saved them for puja. I'll post them one by one...

You may think I'm wearing a kurti with a flared long skirt, WRONG! This Is a One piece Kurti. The skirt is joined with the kurti and I wore it with black leggings. Nice na???? I have seen kurti with skirt or plazos or plazo suits. But never seen this type maxi skirt-kurti which suits all body shapes. (saw something like this in Biba but not enough good looking n price was almost 4k :O) For me it's full length but actually it is anarkali length I mean very little churidar visible. Can be worn without leggings also. Price- Rs. 1900/-  Being a plus size girl from this OOTD I want to say all curvy/plussize girls that they can go out of ordinary too. So many time it happens that we reject fashion in products for our body shape but do a trail may be it suits you... Don't hesitate to show your curves ♥ ♥ ♥...

 

 

 

 

Inspiration

Are you confused by all the sunscreen options? With so many brands of sunscreen available in the market, selecting the right one must be difficult. This post may help you to make the proper selection.
What are Sunscreens?
Sunscreens are products combining several ingredients that help prevent the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the skin. And SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is the measure of a sunscreen's ability to prevent UV from damaging the skin. There are two types of UV radiations UVA and UVB that causes sunburn, damages skin, and can contribute to skin cancer.

What is UVA and UVB?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is part of the electromagnetic (light) spectrum that reaches the earth from the sun. It has wavelengths shorter than visible light, making it invisible to the naked eye. Ultraviolet A (UVA) is the longer wave UV ray that causes lasting skin damage, skinage, and can cause skin cancer. Ultraviolet B (UVB) is the shorter wave UV ray that causes sunburns, skin damage, and can cause skin cancer. There’s also a third type of ray, UVC - these are the shortest and strongest, but thankfully they’re absorbed by the ozone layer and don’t typically reach the Earth.

What is SPF?
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor and shows to what degree a product prevents sunburn. Since sunburn is caused by UVB radiation, SPF rating give no indication of how well a product will protect you from UVA radiation (responsible for skin aging and skin cancer). As sunburn is caused by UVB radiation SPF is only a measure of how much UVB is blocked. For protection against both UVA and UVB rays you will need a 'broad spectrum' product. An SPF indicates the ability of a sun protection product to filter out UVB rays. An SPF of 15 will filter out approximately 93% of UVB rays and an SPF of 30 will filter out around 96%. When choosing an SPF rating, keep in mind that doubling the SPF value doesn't mean you get double the protection. SPF 15 will block the majority of UVB rays, SPF will block more, and anything over SPF 30 doesn't really protect you much more than an SPF 30 product. An SPF of 15-30 is seen as the recommended by most health experts.

 "sunscreen" vs "sunblock"
While many people use "sunscreen" and "sunblock" interchangeably, there's a difference. Sunscreen contains chemicals that absorb UV rays before they damage the skin. Sunblock contains particles that act as a physical wall against UV rays. While sunscreen must be applied 15 minutes prior to sun exposure, sunblock begins working immediately. Dermatologists say experiment with what works best with your skin and plan accordingly.

What is good about the sun?
Talked a lot of disadvantages of sunlight, Don't be afraid there must be some good also. The light from the sun has a strong effect on mood and we know that people feel better when the sun shines. In particular, those suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder show an improvement in the summer months.

Sunlight also acts on the skin to produce vitamin D, which is essential for good health, (especially for female) in particular to maintain health bones.

How much SPF is best to my skin?
The susceptibility of an individual to skin damage from the sun depends to a great extent on their skin type. Skin typing is simply a basic way to categories the sensitivity of the skin to the sun.
Identifying your skin type will help you to decide on the level of protection necessary during sun exposure - for example, skin type I requires very high protection since the body’s inherent protection is very low and the skin is readily burnt by small amounts of UV rays.
Sunscreens should never be used in order to stay in the sun for longer.
I'm showing some more charts that will help you to decide.

Basically the more lighter your skin tone is the more SPF you need.
So how much SPF you need is solved now selecting the right sun protection according to your skin type is another problem. Hence I can suggest but it completely depends on your skins reaction or you can say trail n error method you have to follow...

For normal to Dry skin- Dry skin suppose to feel tight n flaky especially after washing face and throughout the day and this is because lac of water & natural oil in your skin. So you need more moisture and hydrating ingredients such as Aloe Vera and Glycerin etc. Go for creamy products that hydrates enough or formulas that are loaded with emollients like plant oils and fatty acid.
Sunscreen for Normal to Dry Skin -

•                        Lotus herbal Safe Sun Sun Block Cream (SPF 20)
•                        Lacto Calamine Sun Shield (SPF 30) (Dry to normal skin)
•                        Kaya Daily Moisturizing Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
•                        The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso UV Protection Cream (SPF 30)
•                        Avene Very High Protection Cream for dry sensitive skin SPF50+

For normal to Combination skin- You can try almost every type of sunscreens but keep in mind that
find something that won't cause acne. I think lotions are good for you and in winters go for hydrating products.
Sunscreen for Normal to Combination Skin -

•                         Neutrogena Clear Face Liquid Lotion Sunblock spf30
•                         Nivea Moisturizing Sun Lotion SPF 50
•                         Lotus 3 in 1 Matte Lock Daily Sunblock SPF 40
•                         Proactive Daily Protection plus Sunscreen SPF 30
•                         VLCC Sweat free sunblock lotion
•                         VLCC Matte Look Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 with Pineapple Extracts
•                         Aroma Magic Aloe Vera Sun Screen Gel SPF20 

For Normal to Oily skin- Sunscreens that won’t cause breakouts can be hard to find yet using it, is important for all the reasons mentioned above.You want something that doesn’t clog your pores, won’t irritate your skin or cause breakouts. I think Gel base sun protections are best for oily or acne prone skin at least from my own experience. But again it completely depends on the reaction of your skin. Look for lightweight sunscreens (sheer or fluid lotions) that dry down to a matte finish.
Sunscreen for  Normal to Oily/Acne prone Skin -

• Lotus Herbals Safe Sun 3-in-1 Matte Look Daily Sun Block SPF 40
• Lotus Herbals Safe Sun Sunscreen Gel SPF-20
• Nivea for Men Advanced Whitening Dark Spot Reduction Moisturiser SPF 30
• Kaya Skin Clinic Daily Use Sunscreen with SPF 15
• LA ROCHE-POSAY Anthelios Mineral Tinted Ultra-Light Sunscreen Fluid SPF 50
• Lacto Calamine Sun Shield - Oily To Normal Skin - Spf 30
• Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF 50+

I personally like to use a sun protection with SPF 20-30. My skin is sensitive to sunscreens so I use them only when I go outside. I feel burning with high SPF containing products.
I'm using Dermabrite Fortifying Sun Care SPF30 and it is very gentle to my skin.
