Done with the first five for the year on this 100sareepact thing. Yep, I am a little behind schedule (ok maybe a lot). Maybe I’ll catch up maybe I wont. Anyways, here are few tid bits about the sarees I have worn so far.<\/p>\n
1. The first one I wore this year was a taupe crepe saree embellished with sequins and some embroidery. This was a super impulsive buy that had no occasions or reasons! And infact I actually share this saree with my only sister so that we did not feel too guilty about blowing up so much on this one for no reason.<\/p>\n
2. The second saree was a bright red, handwoven “kaithari” cotton saree from my aunts summer collection (she runs a boutique in trichur). It was special in that they used this picture in their saree catalogue! \ud83d\ude42 Kaithari is a special weaving technique native to Kerala used extensively to make the traditional “mundu”.<\/p>\n
3. The 3rd one is a soft uppada sillk bought from one of my favourite stores Shilpi in Chennai. I like that its a perfect blend of the traditional “katte” meaning checks but only in parts of the saree which gives it a nice modern take on older check versions. The parrot green adds to the edge i think!<\/p>\n
4. The fourth one is a hand printed cotton saree (that was designed by a family friend) with a pune material blouse. I wore this in the middle of May for my grandmothers 90th birthday. The 5th one is actually my sisters saree (another check pattern) that I wore to a friend\u2019s wedding in Erode. I love how the checks are not just a plain pink and black combo but has shades of grey to it too.<\/p>\n
So there, 5 done, 95 to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
