CRUSHING ON CRUSHED VELVET: KCFW SS'19 OOTD

I have been crushing on crushed velvet for a while now. So I could not wait for the weather to get a bit crisp, and I could wear this beauty. Kansas City Fashion Week seemed to be the perfect occasion.

Amongst the various trends of the 90s which have made a comeback, I must add that I was pretty skeptical about crushed velvet. And I had my own reasons for it. A lot has changed in my life since the 90s. I have a mom bod, I proudly sport my grey strands, so I had a tough time, visualizing myself in this 90s staple.  What made me fall in love with it, once again, were the newer silhouettes of this fabric.

First, let's talk about the color. What is more Fall-perfect than a shade of brown! This dress reminded me of the leaves changing colors in Fall when I had first set my eyes on it. Yes, maybe I should have shot for this outfit post, against a different backdrop, and not a brick wall, which does not do it justice. But you get the broader picture, don't you? If I had concerns about my midriff, then did you notice that its a wrap dress. Honestly speaking, what's not to love in a wrap dress, as they flatter, every body type.  If all this was not enough to make you fall in love with this dress for Fall, then did I mention that it has ruffles along the front. It's all in the details.

I really wanted the dress to stand out as a neutral. So I went bold with a handcrafted statement necklace from a boutique in India. Nude pumps, strawberry red lipstick, and silver hoops, I was ready for the runway shows.

So are you in love with crushed velvet again or are you still on the fence about it? The fabric has its charm, it's up to you to find a style that compliments you. I found mine.

Stay tuned to my Blog for detailed recaps of the KCFW SS'19 events, that I had covered recently.
