Indian Wedding Guest: Sangeet +Cocktail Outfit

I think I am going to call these posts the ‘Indian Wedding Guest Series’ just because all the outfits are centred around what a guest (read: me) would wear or has already worn to an Indian wedding.

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get started with this post. In February we attended a couple of weddings, and I know that February was a long time ago, but hey, February weather is pretty similar to October/November weather and so the outfit/s I wore might serve as fashion inspiration for the coming Autumn weddings (if that makes sense).

So, coming back to the outfit, in this post I’ll take you through my look for a friend’s Sangeet + Cocktail (whose wedding we attended in Feb). I chose a hot pink Anarkali that had been sitting pretty in my closet since quite some time, but somehow I hadn’t been able to do justice to it.  So I chose to wear it for our friend’s Sangeet/Cocktail. Now since the venue was indoors, the sleeveless Anarkali in breezy chiffon fabric was the perfect choice. And the fact that although the silhouette was rather traditional, the modern neckline, and sequined embroidery added a perfect touch of glam (much needed for the cocktail-ish setting) to the outfit.  For accessories, I just wore huge pearl earrings, and my rosegold watch (Tommy Hilfiger). For footwear, I wore my faux snake-sin heels from Marks & Spencer and carried a grungy black clutch from Zara.

I know the photo quality isn’t great, but this photo was not clicked with the intention of using it on this blog.

I love reading your comments so do drop in a line or two.

What I Wore to my Friend’s Indian Wedding

With the wedding season on in full swing, it’s been a busy couple of weeks. And here in India, weddings are synonymous with elaborate outfits and dressing to the tee. And while I love getting dressed up in full Indian gear, I’m just about getting tired of the whole shebang.

Anyhow, I’ve taken a couple of photos of outfits that I wore to weddings and other related functions and I thought I’d share them with you.

So I wore this gorgeous yellow anarkali to a friend’s wedding sometime in the first week of February. I absolutely love the colour, and the fact that the anrakali has full sleeves is an advantage, especially in the nippy weather.

I forgot to get a photo of the back of the anarkali, but it’s just gorgeous with embroidery throughout the back. I kept the accessories simple with pearl earrings and gold bangles. For footwear I ditched the gold heels and chose my comfy berry shoes. Another thing that I put a little effort into was my hairstyle. I tried to do a French braid in the front and then gathered the hair back in to a bun. The hairstyle is not very clear in the photo, but you get the idea.

I would love to hear your feedback so drop in a line or two.

BTW, I’m planning to do a series of wedding-outfits related post.
