How do you go about choosing a stylish look for work, daily?
I go with what is comfortable and professional. I find inspiration all around me, and am somewhat born with the art of dressing up. Dressing up goes with one’s mood, so at times I plan my outfits in the evening, but most of the time I randomly pick an outfit in a rush, in the morning.
What are your go-to must-haves when you are late for work?
In a rush, during summer, I would grab a black dress and heels. I love dresses. I am a bit conservative, so the length matters. I am not most comfortable with anything short or too revealing. In winter, I play around with coats and boots.
What is the one essential cosmetic you always carry with you?
A matte red lipstick, it adds so much elegance to any outfit.
What should women do to improve their personal image and style?
One needs to find out what suits their figure best and makes them feel comfortable. Play with colours and mix and match patterns and fabrics. Your style is your signature, keep it authentic. But it doesn’t hurt to go over the media and see what’s trending, but don’t chase every trend.
