Ensemble Du Jour.. Dressing for work in Pak

Hi all,

So a HUGE challenge I face is how to dress for work here adhering to the Pakistani culture and environment. I want to wear high waisted pants, skirts, blazers, platform heels but it's just too inappropriate for where I work, not to mention insanely hot, but so is Dubai and I would be able to wear everything there. Mostly people here wear kameezes (which I do sometimes too) with the exception of a few. I have to dress decently, slightly toned down and not too funky, even though I was dying to wear crazy tights today.

Anyhow, so today my outfit comprised of a Zara shirt, Supre leggings, Balenciaga brief bag, Aldo moccasins/loafers (Aah these shoes I adore) and Forever New faux pearl strings:


So stay tuned to see how I get past the limitation of dressing for work here.

  1. Lurrrve the Balenciaga! I've got it in black but I'm totally drooling over yours.
    And yes I totally agree, the other day I was thinking of purchasing this "star" statement necklace from zara but changed my mind because I know no one's going to get the beauty of it here. For all I know I'd be the person with stars around her neck :P lol

    The star necklace sounds really pretty. Haha, I've gotten so many similar comments on things I've worn in the past but you should've gotten it for a night out anyway xxx

  3. I've been on facebook for a while now with the same name... Planning on starting on a more serious note now IA. You so served to be an inspiration to get going. I just couldn't get my way around it thinking there's no hope for Pakistani fashion bloggers but you totally got me thinking otherwise. And boy does this country need a makeover!
    p.s. u're absolutely right, I think I'll get my hands on that necklace anyway! ;)
