I had borrowed this saree from amma’s wardrobe last year. Not really my type in some ways because of the dull snuff colour, yet I thought it was appropriately ‘corpo’ looking.It’s an easy to wear soft cotton with a bandhini border in black.
I was quite surprised to find that it doesn’t look dull as ditchwater when worn, and pulled it out because I was missing mom – she had been away in Bengaluru for 5 months!!!

Accessorised with a necklace I bought myself as a birthday present from Good Earth this year. I’ve had this tradition of buying myself a birthday gift pretty much since I began working… I still have some of the Swarovski brooches and such-like I bought over 20 years ago…
