1.My fashion sense is dangerous.
2. That runs in the family.[but skipped my sis. and my dad considers it a personal insult to have a "fashion" sense.]
Now that we are clear on these, let us proceed. Those who read the previous post may have noticed that there was a wedding I wanted to go to. I got invited.(for a certain person who laughed coz I didn't get invited as my friend forgot to invite me-Ha!) No. I am not going to wear a saree..and This is not about that wedding.
this is about another wedding.(Gosh, there are a lot of weddings these days, am getting confused. They may trick me into coming to my own wedding if i am not careful. geez. ALERT.)
So I was saying, there is this another wedding I can go to. So, I went to my mom to ask for advise as of what to wear. And what did I find?
What, did I find?
I found a mom who was as confused as I was, as of what to wear to the wedding. AAAnd the damsel to the rescue!
"mom, have no fear,
The damsel in distress is here!"
easier said than done. My theory of selecting sarees was proved right once again this afternoon-which is.."Always find the blouse first. then find a matching saree.."
But by momentary lapse of memory,we started picking up sarees...
Me: This is good..
Mom: It is dirty.
Me: what about this one?
mom: nah..the blouse doesn't fit.
me: this must be good.
mom: it is torn.
me: this gotta be(better be) good!!
mom: thats new. I cant wear a new saree on saturday.
Me: hey this is my top I gave you for altering! MOM!! aargh!! its still here??
mom:(pretends she did not hear it.) this one is too simple.
Mom: what about this one?
Me: NO! you already wore it to the engagement. NO NO!(no self respecting daughter would ever let her mom got to a wedding wearing a saree she was seen in by the same people. Source: International code for daughters.)
argh! tic.tock.tock.tic.
Me: this saree is a dark shade of orange mom! it won't go with a slighter dark shade of orange colour of a blouse. we need another shade of orange. ORANGE! concentrate mom.
Mom: aargh!!
well, finally, after taking all the sarees out from the cupboard and mixing all the blouses, we found a matching shade of a blouse that fit a wedding-wearable saree. uff! (wipes off sweat from brow)
Thank god my sister wasn't here. We never agree upon the saree for mom! It was a huge fight our family witnessed as we disagreed over my mom's saree to be worn for my sis' wedding. Dang. Sis came up with a lousy "Its my wedding, My mom, She wears what I want" reason, and I had to give in! dang. Meh. Bah.
It is fun dressing up your mom.. We get a chance to
My sis is gonna kill me If the saree I chose wasnt appropriate for Mom.
Dang.
less than 12 hours and I have to come up with something to wear myself. anything. Something!
P.S. guys and some gals will find this post completely pointless. shoo off if you do. YOU never had a wardrobe malfunction in your life. YOU dont have relatives who even criticises your perfume and nailpolish. YOU don't think green and blue go well together. YOU are a guy. YOU(the girl) don't care.
I wonder whether there will be palada for the sadya.
