Excited to join the promise to wear atleast a 100 sarees this year and be a part of the #100sareepact, to air all those lovely six yards of fabric regularly and to not let them lie unnoticed at the back of my closet.
I will be honest. I didn’t need much coercion to join. I love wearing sarees. When I travelled back to Seoul earlier this year, my suitcase had sarees in it, more than anything else ! smile emoticon
Wearing a saree is special in Korea. In a country where very few people don this attire, it really makes one stand out and it makes you feel like you are your own little ambassador of the weaves and traditions of India.
This one is a lovely, thick ,linen-like handwoven drape, made in a small village in Orissa called Kotpad. It is usually knotted on the shoulder and worn by the locals without a choli ! Well am not going that far :-)I mostly end up getting my blouses done first and the sarees follow. I love contrasts and this one was a mix and match. The earrings are blue because I couldn’t find any other smile emoticon
Wore this one to my Korean art lesson last week, a case of ‘when the tribal saree from Kotpad met Minhwa art from Korea’ smile emoticon It was a Monday morning like it used to be in India, when I would drape a saree for work. It felt much the same, the only difference was that the laptop bag was replaced with Korean handmade paper and colours smile emoticon
On that note, Happy Monday everyone. Hope you have a super day.
