it feels so empowering to walk around wearing ethnic clothes in a ‘modern’ city where the standard fashion is deeply influenced by the west. i will always love u, sarees <3
also, this is my mum’s saree, and many sarees are heirlooms passed down in the family. it’s quite literally, wearing your culture, carrying the stories of your ancestors with you!
maybe this is why i like thrifted clothes lol
Gorgeous! The colors suit you very well! 🙂↕️
I always try to find an excuse to wear ethnic clothing here in London. There’s only one time ever I’ve pulled off wearing a saree.
It's not just about preserving your culture but also about wearing what brings you the most comfort. These clothes are made to accomodate the weather and climate of your region and have gone through atleast a few centuries worth of R&D. Wear them and you'll see a massive difference
I recently realized that most of my favorite wardrobe items were things handed down by my mother or grandmother or friends, or things I found on the street, rather than items i went out amd sought. I think it is a nice to have the physical evidence of their presence.
i love love love documenting my life in little digital snippets. i am a scrapbooker at heart and i use my instagram as my digital diary <3
this is my most recent photo edit, where i matched the colours of the photo to eyeshadow shades 😋
mehendi/henna is sooo culturally entangled with the festive season of south asia <3 and i love love love adornment of any kind, so since the festive season has begun, here is a mehendi pattern i did for myself :) it’s inspired by rose blood - mazzy star
i have been in love with this movie since i first saw it on the big screen; it’s my favourite movie and as i type this post out i’m watching it again for the umpteenth time.
romance, drama, comedy, music, satire, revenge, glamour, this film literally has it all. i recommend this film to every single person ever.
