In Bloom

Soma’s beautiful, printed skirt was the clear standout element of her outfit today, and she revels in not confining to the unspoken status quo of dress in her industry. “Working in a finance does give the impression to others that you’re not allowed to wear bright colours or prints, hence many people tend to stick with basic colours like black, white, grey, or dark blue,” she says. “That’s where I play it different and add bright colours and quirky prints, with a touch of colour on my lips.” On the weekends, Soma tends to her fashion blog, documenting her outfits and fuelling her dream about working as a fashion stylist or buyer. Other than that, she finds time to spend with her pug, cheekily named Sir Preston, and with her husband (we caught Soma just a few days before her wedding), with whom Saturday nights are specifically set aside as date night—surely a clever way of maintaining a relationship when weekdays are taken up by work.
