I was looking forward to attend this friend's reception a lot because I wanted to release my new Black Patur Silk Saree (Devilish Grin).
I know I know I am being selfish here but I have a point to make. I have a weakness for black dresses but unfortunately you cannot wear it for any occasions since people might consider it a bad omen. Not for my birthday(I can imagine my grandma's expression),not for any weddings. So the only option left out was this wedding reception since it was a very informal get-together since the wedding was over a week back.
I had planned all the accessories well ahead and was really eager to wear them.These are small small things that gives me happiness and keeps me going.
I bought the saree about 6 months back from Nellore, Andhra for a steal price of INR 1900 from a local merchant.I did not use the blouse that came along with the saree but chose Banarasi Printed fabric and made a blouse out of it.
I wore traditional Antique Gold Jewelry. For bangles I wore black beaded bangles from a local street shop along with gold bangles.
I wore my favorite Titan Raga watch which was gifted to me 2 years back for my birthday by in laws. For footwear, I wore a dull gold one from Metro.
I kept the makeup quite understated.
So here are the pics of what I wore for the reception ; Please ignore poor quality, we were in a hurry to go to the function.
