[insert colour] is the NEW black

Apologies if I look somewhat worse for wear, my health seems to have taken yet another holiday without forewarning my body.

I have never really been on to wear all black ensembles, excluding formal black tie looks, however over the past few weeks I have been tempted to try a look without any real colour. Whenever I think of wearing all black, I always end up picturing myself wrapped up in a brightly coloured scarf or vibrant plimsoles. Today I therefore decided to try an outfit devoid of any colour.

I decided to wear a black kurta top with white detailing, which my mother had handmade for me when she went abroad recently. On top of this I decided to wear a handmade scarf from the Kashmir region. Unfortunately since the earthquake several months ago, the people of Kashmir have been unable to make their world famous scarves and shawls for export, however I was lucky enough to get this one made for me. Rather than wearing black jeans, I went with grey jeans, to play against the grey shades of the scarf. My Doc Martens completed the outfit, and if you are wondering why I am wearing boots indoors, it is because I still have not broken them in fully!
