Beautiful Indian Sarees

I’ve just come back from an Indian wedding which is held in Syuen Hotel. It’s the grandest Indian wedding I have ever been to, and most of the lady guests were dressed in sarees. Saree is the traditional clothes for Indian women.

When I was in uni, I thought of borrowing one from my Indian friends and tried it out. But I didn’t do in, and went to borrow a baju Melayu instead. I regretted still because I haven’t put on a saree before even if it’s such a nice clothing. Most Indian women will wear sarees with little blouses and wrap the sarees around their bodies. However, the waist part will be vaguely exposed, and they don’t care if they are skinny or fleshy, they will confidentally expose their waists.

It’s not easy to wear a saree. My Indian friend said that she needed her mom’s help when she was younger, but now, she knows well how to wear a saree. But she said it’s not easy to walk in a saree, so I might need some practice if I wanted to borrow from her. I was thinking about putting on a saree for a presentation while studying. If I’m not mistaken, my group assignment had something to do with multiracial, so we wanted to try out other races’ traditional clothing. I was worried that I might trip over some network cables when I was presenting on the stage, so I changed my mind to get a baju Melayu instead.

I should have got myself a saree and wore to the wedding just now. But then, how to take care of my kids with a saree on??? What if the saree open up!!! :P So, I wore a dress only to the wedding dinner.

Fashion Workshop

I came across the details of fashion workshops organized by Cleo and some major sponsors almost every year when I subscribed the magazines. I have always wanted to attend one, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I didn’t attend any.

I really regretted that I didn’t attend the workshops as there were lots of free goodies like makeup, skincare products and hair products were given out. On top of that, the workshop covered everything a woman needs to know about how to look good without spending a fortune or being a fashion victim. Everyone seemed to enjoy and benefit from the workshop from the articles that followed in the magazines.

Even if there were lots of participants, if they organizers sourced the best projector rentals to rent out projectors during the workshop, I think everyone would still have a clearer view on the flow of the workshop. Gee, maybe I should check out the date again this year, and see if I can make it.
