If you venture onto the streets today, you will probably see people dressed in various shades of white, orange and green (these are the colours of our flag in case you didn't know). I decided to do a little something different this year. I opted for homespun fabrics. Nothing screams Indian to me like Khadi in Khaki, that material and color forever associated with our freedom movement, our leaders and our protectors. My green bag is a little nod to the tricolor.
This kurti (the top I'm wearing) is one of my favorites and I wear it on special occassions. It makes me feel Indian, chic and classy and fits like a glove (probably because its not the usually XS size that's always too big for me, but a mannequin piece). I added simple accessories, keeping the focus on the well-made top.
Khaki Kurti: Rs. 600, Cotton World, Growels Mall
Hot pink leggings: Rs.450, Big Bazaar (Also worn here)
Earrings: Rs.50, Trains
Flats: Rs.350, Hill Road, Bandra
Bracelets: Rs. 60, Train
Total Outfit Cost: Rs. 1810, which is about ₤20.
Is that a bit too much patriotism? Okay, maybe, but atleast for today, I don't care. Here's wishing all my fellow Indians, a very Happy Independence Day!
Love,
QuirkyEngineer
