Follow me on Instagram! (Yes, I start with shameless promotion)
As I write this today, I
realize it’s been forever since I last posted on my blog. In everything that I
used to do on a daily basis, or rather still do on a daily basis, what I’ve
come to realize is that writing or coming up with outfit ideas, is something
that I love doing. In the past few years and months of doing is, what I hadn’t
cleared out is, I don’t want to be a high-fashion blogger.
I don’t want to be that
blogger who talks about big, premium brands. The one who tags names of brands
that you’d see only in a Harrods or in a Paris Gallery in UAE or rather in the
much exclusive “fashion-avenue” of Dubai Mall. Not that there’s anything wrong
with bloggers who do that kind of thing (you do you!), but it’s not me.
I want to be that blogger
who can show you how simple items can you make you look your best. I want to be
that blogger who shows you style doesn’t necessarily need to come at a price
and that you can still look great with a 49AED top on. Most importantly, I want
to be that blogger who talks about brands that you can actually buy and not dream of buying (oh the dreams I’ve had
of owning a pair of Christian Louboutins…)
A week ago, I started the
#OneLookADayProject on Instagram, where I show you what I’d wear on a daily,
throughout the week. In this blog, I am rounding up all the outfits I wore
throughout the week! Hold up though, if you haven’t been following me on
Instagram, you should! You can find me on the handle @arohib.

Let me start off by saying,
it’s not easy thinking about what to wear. Plus, I don’t think I’m ever going
to get over doing these fashion outfit shoots and have everyone look at me.
For day 1 of the
#OneLookADayProject, I chose black on black. I can hear all the fashion Gods
looking down on me and shaming me for not starting with a pop! I did not start
off with a yellow, making me look like a tulip outfit, but instead I went for
the dullest color in the palette, also one of the best. Ladies, I’d like to
clarify, this is a lazy girl’s outfit and that’s okay. P.S. I started off on a
weekend, I’m bound to be lazy about all of this.
Day 2 of the project was also the first day of the week (which meant weekend blues…), it also meant I wore blue to work (lol, sorry for this horrible joke). When it comes to shoes, I’ve realized, it’s a hard battle between wearing heels or something comfortable. Obviously, comfort triumphs in this look.
For day 3, I wore this top from Shein! Let me let you in on a secret, I hate online shopping. Again, I know I’m letting down every fashion God and blogger by saying this; they are really looking down on me now and nodding their heads in dismay. If you haven’t caught on so far, Shein is an online shopping website and the top I’ve styled is from them. I’m not paid to say this (although I wish I was), this top is super comfy and looks great for the price I paid.
For day 4, I literally wore what I have previously worn for an outfit post. YES, I repeat outfits (cue for fashion Gods to leave and realize there’s no hope here).
READ THIS: I wanted to address this a while ago and it’s something that’s been on
my mind. Society and the social media platforms we are all on and grown closely
to, has a huge impact on certain perceptions about fashion and this myth about
“repeating outfits”. I know of so many girls who would not dare to repeat an
outfit ever again and risk being caught dead in the same outfit. I want to tell
you its okay. It’s okay to wear the same thing again and again. Just because
Instagram is filled with girls who don’t repeat their outfits, that doesn’t
mean you’ve got to be one of them. Everyone repeats outfits. You’ve just got to
realize, you’ve got to be comfortable in what you wear and really, who cares?
BTW, I styled this entire
look with an overcoat from Zara, which I think is something all you girls need
to invest in.
Day 5 of the #OneLookADayProject, I wore my work outfit with vans. As weird as it sounds, its super comfy! If you gave me a choice between wearing heels or some kind of comfortable shoe, I’d always choose the latter, always! And I speak for the majority of the girls when I say no to heels.
Day 6 was a Thursday! Thursday is always a good day, it’s a sign of the weekend nearing. So funny story, I found these baggy pants in forever 21 which I thought looked like PJs first and mannequins in forever21 or rather mannequins in general have this weird thing of making even the stupidest thing look good and lo behold, I bought it! At first, I genuinely didn’t know how to style this but I think I pulled it off. These pants are so comfy btw!
For the final day of the week I decided to wear this. Yes, I repeat my shoes here, I’ve worn this for an outfit this week already and it’s okay honestly.
If you don’t already follow me on Instagram, you should! You can find details to all my outfits there.
I’ll be back next week for
another round up and banter, until then, I look forward to connecting with you
on Instagram!
