It is a special date and Aarti Bakshi wants to look especially good. The 19-year-old Mumbai-based college student isn’t exactly flush with cash — “I don’t know where my pocket money goes,” she moans — but that’s not a problem when it comes to clothes shopping; an hour in Bandra should be enough. “Cotton On has this printed halter dress I saw last week and I can pick up a pair of espadrille wedges from Linking Road,” she says confidently. “The total will be under ₹1,000.”
