it feels so empowering to walk around wearing ethnic clothes in a ‘modern’ city where the standard fashion is deeply influenced by the west. i will always love u, sarees <3
also, this is my mum’s saree, and many sarees are heirlooms passed down in the family. it’s quite literally, wearing your culture, carrying the stories of your ancestors with you!
maybe this is why i like thrifted clothes lol

I recently realized that most of my favorite wardrobe items were things handed down by my mother or grandmother or friends, or things I found on the street, rather than items i went out amd sought. I think it is a nice to have the physical evidence of their presence.

nothing informs my style more than the people around me. whenever i'm in a new city i like going to well-curated stores (preferably with indie designers from said city/country/region) and cute thrift stores. i've found that's a good way of keeping one's silhouette interesting and ever-changing. also, that ensures that sometimes you'll have on something 'weird' from another place, and that'll pique interest in people you're with... keeping on a cycle of fashion inspiration :p

i have been in love with this movie since i first saw it on the big screen; it’s my favourite movie and as i type this post out i’m watching it again for the umpteenth time.
romance, drama, comedy, music, satire, revenge, glamour, this film literally has it all. i recommend this film to every single person ever.
