6/100 – Today’s saree is a blue and white printed chiffon with zari border and a bit of embroidery on the hems.

I wear this to summer or spring weddings but today is special. Kathmandu weather is saying its final goodbyes to Autumn and the delicious festival weather is here. It is only fair to take this saree out on a walk – to work and to dinner before winter arrives.

The story behind this saree is about “a sale”. When I saw this saree for the first time, just like many other times, I fell in love with it but it was quite expensive. I came back home disappointed and kept thinking about it for few days. Fast forward to few months ahead – there was a sale and the saree was being sold for 50% off. The price was still on the high side but the saree was speaking to me, telling me to pick it up and take it home.
