The Year end Dawn for A Saree lover

Us girls I have an immemorial connect with our sarees.The wonder yard definitely gets the best of each woman varying maybe every 45 km's.I'm no expert form the saree glossary uproar in the country like never seen before but I definitely have had a change of mind, perception to the Indian handlooms all thanks to saree.The saree Pact made a huge difference to my learning.

We all love and know the versatility is something that makes the saree so so unique, how a single piece of cloth can be transformed into marvels in a jiffy seeking to suit no particular shape, size or gender really!

As the year comes to a close I couldn't have chosen a better outfit -a simple co-optex saree my father got one evening from his nonchalant outings really. Paired with my mum's beautiful ajrakh from Pracheen puts the outfit so uniformly, how two diverse craft forms make such a beautiful baby.

The hair is done by The Mad Hair Scientist, who has given me a side textured sleek fishtail braid bun tucked along some parrot latkans and fresh marigolds.I absolutely love the little bits of detail!

I also added a beautiful and much-cherished pair of pearl earrings from Calicut to complete the attire.Hoping you like the stark contrast of lilac hair, the mustard-red with a tinge of green.I absolutely love my sarees as much as I adore my minis.Here's to wishing everyone for an extraordinary and some resolute decisions ahead.I will see you soon in my next post.

6 Yards of Changing Opinions

“Our sarees are for a special kind of woman. She is cool, independent and radiates an aura of strength. She is trendy but her style is her own. She is intelligent, unpretentious and connected to her roots.”I personally have been hearing this from every designer that comes up with some a tab bit different khadi-gamcha-chaap design each season.

Yes.it’s my honest rant against (also that time of the month) we are trying too hard to incorporate indigenous crafts in our lives. I love the fact that yes we are trying to get people to educate more and having it incorporate it in our wardrobes really help, but the question do these weavers actually benefit? With the uproar of using Indian textiles and the obvious Make in India week ending last week on a triumphant note, can we actually  ever let the weavers take the front seat for once? How often are we dissed for wearing a saree and not looking as graceful or for being too fat to wear it around.--I’m one of them being told several time , and being highly self conscious would pay heed to it.

My question to self arises several time That little part of you that always wants to go audaciously bold but is hesitant till the last minute—it’s time to throw away that inhibition and try something daring. I did and this blogpost is dedicated for my newfound love for sarees. It was a day for artful mixology:

So Along with anchoring earth tones, exuberant pops of vibrant colors also appear throughout the pictures you witness here I have teamed up a jamawar white bell sleeved blouse with two very different sarees. The first being an ornate real gold kanjeevaram that has used the original temple motif sedatively throughout the saree and  the second saree is a beautiful Matka Silk saree with temple border in zari and self jacquard motif all over the saree.

I have discovered the love for handlooms and I hope it really bites us all too soon!
