Today there was extra work for my grey cells.
\nA very dear friend, Ranju invited me for yummy Sadya–for which I travelled almost two hours in Bangalore’s traffic. But it was sooo worth it! I was pampered with loadsa food and an extra special meet with Deeptha after almost 15 years!
\nAnd Ranju says while inviting–you’re coming in a saree only no? Lol! Little could I tell her that I’ve already worn all the sarees I have here in Bangalore. I still haven’t shifted my wardrobe entirely? I didn’t wanna disappoint her cos I knew she was planning on joining the pact today.
\nHmmm. What did I do?
\nWell…I kinda cooked up a ‘Homemade Half Saree’
\nIngredients :
\n(1) Two duppatas that’ll match somehow n not look weird. Preferably one that has beautiful gold zari across the width that’ll match the inspiration.
\n(2) One blouse–or atleast a Tshirt converted into a blouse (with a dash of instant beads n embroidery so that it doesn’t look like a typical casual Tshirt)
\n(3) One inspiration — the Kerala ‘Mundu Saree’
\n(4) Jewellery that’ll highlight the silver grey.
\nSo, I found two duppatas which were Amma’s sarees that I converted into duppatas.
\nSo saree to a dupatta to a half saree! Phew ;p
\nAnd I followed the recipe. Voila!
\nOne ‘Homemade Half Saree’ ready!
\nBtw–I was jus sooo inspired by Pavithra’s greys and then Deeptha’s greys n so on–so I had to do a tribute to the gorgeous shades of grey<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
