Rupang Dehi: Durga Puja Special OOTD

Hey Ma Durga grant us the beauty of yours....the beauty of your soul with which we can purify ours, overcome darkness and negativity. Hey Ma, make our heart so pious that we can see the goodness in people around us and not surrender to age old norms of judgement. Lets all pray to Ma Durga not for fair skin, sharp features or good height but a beauteous mind which can embrace every one with love.

 I sometimes wonder how one festival can bring so much excitement and joy to so many people's lives. But there are several families who might not able to celebrate as us, so lets me empathetic towards them and be mindful of their reasons. Have a blessed Navratri and Shubho Sharodiya from the team of Bong Mania Overloaded.

Outfit of the Day

As we Bengalis save ur new clothes for Durga Puja, so did I. This gorgeous peachy orange pure Chanderi Silk saree was send by Ma Baba from Kolkata. The color is very soothing and has antique gold pearl drop motif weaved all over its body. This saree reminded me of my childhood. Have seen my Ma and Dida dressing up in soft sober sarees for the morning pushpanjali in the local pandal. Just wee bit kajal, light gold jewelries, talcum powder and a tip or bindi. They never experimented as we do but their fashion was and is timeless as they didn't try hard to be trendy. As I felt the soft chanderi silk in hand all I wanted was to have a very pleasant and traditional look with a very classic softness to it.

The saree came with a contrast blue blouse which would have made the look more bright. SO I toned it down with a bird motif off white blouse. The birds on the blouse has been hand embroidered by me inspired by a Sabyasachi label blouse 😀😀😀😀. As I mentioned before I wanted a very classic soft look. So opted for kaan pasha or over sized studs, a simple gold moff chain. chur and an over sized ring. My go to kajal smokey eyes and peachy lips with a small tip or bindi was all I needed to complete the look.
