Now for the OOTD! I kept it simple & chic in a wrap nude jumpsuit that I bought two years ago from a mall in Bangkok. Nude heels from Vicenza are adding to the glam look while my Accessorize clinch belt is giving me a sleeker frame. The Gucci inspired suitcase bag is the perfect structured bag to complete my look for the launch event! The dark chocolate lip color from Lakme matches well with my broad belt. So basically its a color palette of beige, chocolate, nude & brown around which I styled my entire look.
