Casual Indian Outfit

Now I know it’s been more than a month since Rakhi, but still, I am going to share my Rakhi outfit on the blog today. J

Rakhi is one of those special occasions where most of us get dressed in our Indian wear. So on this Rakhi, while rummaging through my cupboard, I happened to re-discover this gorgeous pink (cotton) chikan kurta that I had picked up from Lucknow, but that did not really get a lot of love from me. Now I like wearing cotton clothes, mostly because they are so soft and breezy, and this kurta was perfect for the rather humid weather we had (in August)! Problem was, I did not have a suitable pair of bottoms for it. I mean sure I could have paired it up with trusted blue skinnies, but I did not want that look. So I did the best thing I could, I pulled out a pair of white cotton pants from my Mum’s closet, and voila, I was Rakhi-ready. J

I did wear big jhumkas and a nice bindi to accentuate the whole Indian vibe. J

Let me know how you liked this outfit.

Have a look at my RakhiOutfit from last year.

Happy Rakhi: Indian Outfit

Hello there! Happy Rakhi. This time there was some confusion regarding the Rakhi date. Initially, we all thought it was on 20^th August 2013. But on 19^th August 2013 we got to know that it is on 21^st August 2013. So the long and short of it is that we celebrated Rakhi on 21^st August 2013.

Now coming on to the more interesting part i.e. the outfit, this is what I wore- a beautiful green chanderi A-line kurta/semi-anarkali with churidaar and a printed dupatta. I absolutely love this suit. The colour is a beautiful shade of green and the dupatta is a mix of maroon, gold and green prints. The kurta has got some self style threadwork which runs across throughout the kurta. The churidaar is maroon (although it appears a shade of red in the photo). This suit was a part of my wedding trousseau. Now you might think that it’s too plain to be ‘trousseau material’ but I say it’s exactly these kind of Indian outfits that come in handy for several occasions which require you to be dressed-up in Indian wear, yet not be blingy. Anyway, too much chamki (bling) is not my thing. And I am happy to say that I was pleased with this outfit.

In case you’re wondering where is this outfit from, my Mum got the suit material from Meena Bazaar and we designed the outfit. The back is a (not so) deep-U and has a tie-up with beautiful, sparkly green latkans. Somehow I forgot to get the back photographed!
