It was a lazy start of a week. Schools closed for summer. Officially. However, I have been to school twice.<\/p>\n
I had not taken my mom out or bought anything for her on Mother’s day. It had rained yesterday and the weather was kind today. Mom and I decided to go to various emporiums.<\/p>\n
I seldom drape a saree when I go for shopping but I decided to do so today. I raided my mom’s wardrobe and selected this Odisha Bapta saree. The best thing about it, is the patlipallu. One of a kind saree in my mom’s collection. Bapta is a mix of tussar and cotton. Such sarees are no longer weaved in Odisha.

My mom too draped a cotton saree from Odisha, a fairly recent one gifted by one of her sisters. Sharing her picture too…..<\/p>\n
As usual I had no accessories other than the pearl ones. But then pearls are eternal….<\/p>\n
My mom wanted a saree only from Odisha emporium. We went there first. I ended up buying three cotton sarees, one for her, two for myself. I also bought an Ikat blouse piece from there. We also visited Lepakshi, Andhra emporium. I bought three more blouse pieces from there.<\/p>\n
Somehow I did not like any of the stuff from other state emporium. We came back after having lunch at Coffee Home.<\/p>\n
It was well worth it, wearing that saree. Many asked about it. Next time, I drape it, I will do so with a tank top! I need to experiment…..<\/p>\n
