If you could wear one thing…

And only one thing every day for the rest of your life, what would you pick?

sarees

I’d opt for a saree.

wedding-bouquet

It’s bright, it’s colourful, and it can be wrapped in a million different ways (if you know what you’re doing. I don’t. But I’d like to think I could learn).

anji-getting-dressed

Wore one as a bridesmaid for my ladyfriend’s wedding.

anji-pre-wedding

It, like Anji’s saree, earrings and necklace, was lovingly hand-picked in India.

kels-lo-jess-kj-sarees

As were all the bridesmaids’ sarees. (Not the dress on the right, mind you. That’s a Diane von Furstenberg beauty.)

Is seven metres of silk a bit much for casual Friday? I think not.

    I love sarees! They are definitely the most comfortable thing and come in the most gorgeous of variations.

    Sarees truly are a work of art and I love the burgundy red one that you’re rocking. You all look so amazing in them! the DVF number is pretty sweet too. I think I’m going to have colour-overload from this post; I love it haha

    Beautiful ladies!!! I’ve always wanted to experience wearing one! My Mom did when she was invited to a wedding and I got a bit jealous. LOL.

    awww I’ve never worn a saree before. Haven’t even seen in real life, only in movies :D but it’s so popular worldwide. My current boyfriend is half Indian so if I am to marry him one day it’ll be my first time wearing a saree. :) it’s a long road though.
    but all the sarees in those pictures are wonderful, the colors are just fantastic.

    I don’t believe in casual Friday, it’s formal Friday all the way! And heck yes to sarees, they take forever to put on, but they look stunning.

  • Reply Cafe Fashionista August 11, 2010 at 8:44 am

    Personally, I’d say that seven metres of silk is perfect for casual Friday!! :P

    I’ve always wanted to wear a saree! The colours are so beautiful, I don’t blame you for choosing it as your one piece of clothing for life. Great photos, looks like lots of fun :)

    That saree is STUNNING. I’ve been to a couple of Indian weddings and I’m always enthralled by all the gorgeous colors and fabrics-so much more exciting than a western wedding.
