Sat Sri Akaal , Namaste, Adaab!
I'm being all secular today because today's blogpost highlights the true desi in me; in all of us. Sometimes I feel like letting go of the prim and proper Kate Middleton in me, and capturing the Desi Girl Priyanka Chopra in me instead.
My mood decides the colours. Colours decide which salwar with which kurta. The outfit decides which shoes- jootis or kolhapuris. Then the accessories to go- I decide! Haha
When you feel like wearing loose clothes, go with a patiala or a loose salwar. But if the kurta is short and you want a crisp formal look, a chudidaar would be more apt.
Kolhapuris or jootis again depend on your mood but make sure your toes are well pedicured and toenails are polished. Overgrown toenails look ugly. In fact they say if you want to know how clean a person is actually, take a glimpse at her toes.
Usually whenever I wear a desi outfit I like wearing nice matching earrings and bangles. But to work, I keep it subtle because lets face it- I'm not going to a Diwali party or a shaadi at 9 in the morning. So the suggestion I can give is to keep at as simple as possible! No heavy jewellery- i.e. no funky necklaces or huge jhumkas. But yes, you can keep your look a little flirtatious by wearing cute earrings somewhat like below:
I know you all know how to dress super well when it comes to desi clothes, but a few things to avoid are:
1. Don't wear a printed kurta which a completely differently printed salwar. In fact if your kurta has too much going on, wear a plain lower instead.
2. Don't go overboard by wearing heavy makeup or even heavy 3 dozen bangles.
3. If you have a lot of piercings in your ears don't wear big earrings in all of them enough to make you look like a rapper.
4. Avoid coloured lipstick. Go for nudes or just plain transparent lip gloss.
5. Wear a dupatta if your neckline is deep or the kurta is a little transparent. Else, a dupatta is not a 100% essential now-a-days.
Choose wisely, dress well, go desi!
