Outfit Of The Day: Khaadi Lawn, Accessorize & Gloria Jeans With Aroosa

Finally, I got to spend a day with one of my best friends. Aroosa & I had lunch at Espresso ( a change from CTC (Coffee, Tea & Company), our usual haunt. Later, we stopped at Xinua Mall and Zaka where we did some window shopping. Our get together would have been  incomplete if we hadn't stopped at Mall Of Lahore. We can spend all day there if we had to. Aroosa, wanted to check the new Khaadi lawn, and I wanted to go to Accessorize and The Body Shop. 

First stop at the mall, Gloria Jeans.

(I was the crazy lady with the camera who made everyone pose :p )

With the start of Spring/Summer Lahore is flooded with lawn exhibitions.Today was the day Khaadi released their new lawn! Obviously the place was jam packed. It wasn't as bad as the Sana Safinaz exhibitions though. I didn't buy anything, although I did like some of the suits. I am saving up for the Elan and Sana Safinaz lawn. Aroosa ended up buying a suit. 

(In the picture's she's standing with her nieces)

The prices are so good! Some of the three piece suits are being sold for RS2800! These are going to be available all season. I might end up buying one suit next month.

She bought this one (it's the one on the catalogue cover ). It's a three piece suit with a chiffon duppata and it's for Rs2800. 

We then headed off to Accessorize 

How cute are these necklaces? No, sadly I didn't buy them (although I love the mustache one. hahaha!). I bought a bag and a pair of earrings which I shall show in my next post. (haul)

OMG!!!!! Have you seen the Chocomania line at The Body Shop???!!!! It smells (and looks) SO good! I bought a body scrub, which looks good enough to eat.

 I love the print and the bright colored paisleys on the kurta. 

Aroosa and I are both wearing Kurta's from Khaadi and tights from Sarah's. Her peep toes are from Walkie's (in Defence) and mine are from Zara. (My kurta (shirt) is still available at Khaadi)

Pakistani Style: Churidaar Tights From Sarahs

First it was churidar and now it's churidaar tights that are all the rage! What's the difference? These are pretty much like your average tights, with a desi touch. I bought mine a few days before Eid from Sarahs. The ones I bought are white because they'll go with everything. Sarahs had black, white and even had ones with funky prints and patterns on them. They had adorable black tights with white polka dots.  

You can see the tights aren't see through. I'm holding them up against the light

I love that the material of these churidaar tights isn't sheer. I've seen pictures where the flash or the lighting often makes the tights see through. I haven't had that problem with these tights. They're comfortable and hug all the right places. The tights have a stretchy elastic waist that doesn't bite in to my skin. The fitting is flawless. 

Personally, I think the churidar tights are better than the churidar itself because the fitting is better. Also the look is more sleek, polished and oh so chic. It's a very modern take on the traditional chuirdar. I love pairing mine with a long, flowy shirt/kurta. Another plus point is that they don't get wrinkly either. 

Sara's has three sizes to choose from, large, medium and small.

Directions: Sarah's is situated in the market across McDonalds Main Boulevard Gulberg. The market/plaza where Nike, Charles & Keith and Karma are also located.  Umm, more appropriate directions will be the shops adjacent to Home Economics!

Price:800 (which is a steal compared to the ones from Maria B. They're for 1500)

(I'm sorry for the bad lighting. It was really really dark in the last two pictures)
