Inspiration India

The Fashion Spot featured an article this morning on India’s Expanding Fashion Weeks and Middle Eastern/Indian inspired fashion. Am I a little excited that I had my finger on this fashion pulse? Yes. Do you want to know where to get some inspiration on how to incorporate the look into your own wardrobe? Of course.

To start you off, my favorite place to go is High Heel Confidential, a fabulous blog written by Payal and Priyanka about Indian celebrity fashion (both male and female). The commentary is fun, but I enjoy the roundup of awesome photographs. Indian fashion is gloriously colorful and forever interesting.

The featured fashions vary from traditionally-inspired…

..to modern...

Vintage Sari

Here is a headshot of me in my “new” vintage sari. Hopefully I can track down a full length picture soon!

Saris

You may have noticed in my recent budget total update that I bought a vintage silk sari this week. I’d had my eye on it for awhile on Etsy from Badraboutique and hoped to wear it to my grandmother’s 80th birthday party. Well, the party snuck up on me and before I knew it I only had a week to get this sari. Thus the odd budget-gymnastics (using Feb. leftovers) in the aforementioned post.

That said, here is the lovely silk sari that I cannot wait to incorporate into my wardrobe. I think I will shorten the sleeves on the shirt:
