Boi’s Budget Buys: The Celeb-Inspired Airport #OOTD

One universal fashion problem for most girls is, “What do I wear today?” This question has the power to reduce us to a hysterical mess. Fashionista or not, nobody wants sartorial answers that cost a fortune. And let’s just be honest, you’re THE style star if you know how to dress to the nines on a budget. So I’ve taken up this Herculean task: every Saturday, I’ll round up a budget-friendly ensemble for you, all BELOW Rs 10,000. Yes! It’s going to be an entire outfit — from head-to-toe — without breaking the bank. Quite a challenge, right? Scroll down to shop this budget ensemble, and don’t forget to come back every Saturday to discover an outfit that’s yet another steal!

‘Tis the season to be jolly and party…or ’tis the season to get the heck out of the city. If you’re one of those lucky ones who are off to the sunny beaches or snow-capped mountains for the winter vacay, then, well, I envy you. Holidays during the festive period with loved ones are just the best, no?

Vacation time is also an appropriate time to pull out all the stops, when it comes to your wardrobe (not that you shouldn’t be doing that all year round, anyway). If you’re heading for the beach, don’t forget to pack in your sundresses and bikinis; and stock up on ’em stylish jackets, if you’re headed for the hilly zone.

But what I’m focussing on this week is your airport look. We love our celeb airport looks, don’t we? Every morning, we look to social media to see what our fave divas have worn while they’re jetsetting from one exotic location to another, whether it’s for promotions, shoots, or holidays. And thanks to all the inspo we get from them, we can dress well and comfy while travelling, too, right?

OK. I’ll admit it, this look, for me, is all about this Only shirt from Koovs. I mean, just look at it! Mickey Mouse s peeping out of your pants! Wait, that didn’t sound right, but you know what I mean! This is one of the cutest white shirts I’ve seen in a while, and given that it’s full-sleeved, it looks perfect for a travel #OOTD.

Pair this one with a comfortable pair of boyfriend jeans — you know, the kind you’ll be able to sleep in without your tummy wanting to explode. Which is why these Forever New ripped boyfriend denims are purrfect.

Opt for slip-on shoes…basically ones you can easily slip *off* once you’ve settled into your seat. These FabAlley slip-ons do just that along with adding a pop of feminine colour to your ensemble. A large tote bag (’cause, let’s face it, we women do *not* travel light) is an absolute travel essential, and one with a badass message like this one from Toniq ticks all the right boxes. Besides this one is gospel truth: “I don’t do fashion, I am fashion.” Uh-huh!

Finally, make like a Bollywood star and add a pair of sexy shades to your look — so what if you don’t need them inside the airport or in-flight. You are fashion, right? Plus, reflectors…need I say more?

So off you go on your winter vacay! Send us your travel #OOTDs and, of course, your holiday pics too! Don’t forget, I’m going to be living vicariously through you guys!
