As much as I love wearing colorful tunics and western outfits, I also equally enjoy wearing a saree or any ethnic dress for that matter. My blog has featured posts with me wearing ethinic outfits ( mostly sarees ) but however I wanted to do something different this time.
I was interested in doing a post which will not only involve everything ethnic, but also eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable fabrics. I have also taken care that the accessories that I have worn in this look and also my handbag is also eco friendly. So when sporting such a look, should you not be in a location which again depicts the culture and heritage of India? I chose to shoot this in Dakshin Chitra which is a museum featuring the arts, crafts and traditions of different states of South India.
