Indian Wedding Guest: Outfit Idea

Wedding Season is on in full-swing, and although I’m not complaining, I’m just saying that it’s been so hectic that I’ve been lagging behind on ‘Indian Wedding Guest’ posts. But without further ado, I’m just going to share with you this saree that is perfect for a friend’s Sangeet or Reception. It’s gorgeous, yet not OTT. To me, it appears to have an artsy vibe.

Indian Wedding Guest: OOTD

Remember how I promised to do a series of posts on Indian Wedding Outfits and then almost never followed-up. Well, here I am today, trying to fulfill my promise.

I am going to start this series by sharing this beautiful saree that I wore to a friend’s engagement a couple of months back.

Now just to point out, I always intend to wear sarees to Indian functions, but it just so happens that I do not always have the time/assistance to drape the whole nine yard. So when I had to attend a friend’s engagement, I was determined to wear a saree. And I knew that I did not want to wear the heavy, shimmery stuff, just something bright and elegant. I have a couple solid chiffon sarees and knew that the one in bright blue would look for perfect for a summer engagement party. I did not have a matching blouse, but hey, who wants to wear a matching one? Not me for sure. So I decided I wanted to wear a contrasting blouse. Initially I thought of pairing up the saree with a floral blouse, but for certain reasons, I could not get one tailored in time. So the next best thing was to raid my Mum’s wardrobe. And what I found was much better than whatever they sell at the boutiques today. I found a stunning rani pink blouse with intricate embroider in yellow/blue/lilac/gold/green. And I knew I had found the perfect blouse for my saree. Now this blouse is just about 20 years old! Yes, you heard that right! And it needed no alteration.

So the outfit looked something like this.

Apart from wearing statement earrings, I kept the accessories subtle. I sported bright pink lips, to match the colour of the blouse and I tucked in all my necessities (lipstick, mirror, perfume) in a little silk pochette. I was really happy with my look. What do you think? Do you borrow/re-design clothes from your Mum’s wardrobe?

I love hearing what you have to say so do drop in a line or two.

My Newfound Love for Sarees: Indian Outfit

Remember I told you all that I will write up a post on the Indian outfits I wore for weddings and other related functions. Well, today I’m going to share with you an outfit that I wore to friend’s brother’s wedding reception.

The Ethereal Saree- A very special outfit on my 100th post

I’m so glad to share with you the news that this little blog of mine is now a 100 posts old! J

Although I had started blogging in June 2012, I had not really been active till aboutJune 2013. And once I revived the blog, I couldn’t stop writing. I love the fact that I get to share my love for fashion on this platform. I feel it’s just such a great way for like-minded people to connect. Through the blogosphere I get to have a glimpse at some of the most wonderful (fashion and non-fashion) things.

And there’s no better occasion than the present one to share with you one of my most special outfits. The special outfit I’m talking about is this beautiful yellow saree that I wore on my wedding, and had the opportunity of wearing it recently on my first Karva Chauth.
