It was the shoots-and-leaves design, and the satiny polka dots in the background, which attracted me to this saree. I had actually gone saree-shopping to buy gifts for relatives I was planning to visit. I had already finished making my choices when I saw this saree and simply couldn’t resist it. Needless to say, it ended up in my own closet 🙂

In hindsight, it has turned out to be a good buy because it needs very little maintenance and is just the thing for a quick, easy drape on a packed Monday morning, starting with a high level meeting.
