Diva of Fashion !

I recently came across this chinese proverb "Three-tenths of a woman's good looks are due to nature, seven-tenths to dress;" It has long, however, been a familiar adage in most countries that "fine feathers make fine birds".

I got a chance to visit 'WestSide' at Spencer Plaza this weekend.Buying a thermal wear and t-shirts for the forthcoming Coorg trip was the objective of my visit.It hardly took 15 - 20 mins to choose two cotton t-shirts,one in black another in pink color for the tracks that I had chosen to wear for the trekking.Also found a pale blue jerkin that would match my shoes (Believe me... matching colors give a composed outlook).

As it is the case always , I was just giving a look at the 'Mix and Match' section of the outlet.
('Mix and Match' section is a place where you can find lots of kurtas and salwars that can be picked and matched with pants.Its your matching skills that matters a lot !!)

Alvo !! I found the patiala type of salwars in group of colors.Purchased a black-red combo.This supersoft lightweight cotton is a breeze to wear.Shimmering gold paisleys enliven the black cotton adding an extra exotic appeal to this simple salwar type pants.

Its is very similar to salwar except that a patiala salwar has 3-4 pleats sewn into the sides of each salwar leg.These pleats run vertically from the top and are sewn into the hem at the ankle.The patiala is a very attractive version of the traditional salwar.

Patiala salwar kameez has got some special historical background.Patiala is a place in punjab in North India.The king of patiala used to wear baggy type salwar with long loose kameez with full sleeves.This has been reformed to this modern ethnic wear.

My selection won appreciation among girls at office.One of my team mate has planned to visit Spencer's today to buy one such attire.

The woman of today would like to choose an outfit which is Elegant, Feminine, Rooted in tradition,Seductive,Exotic,an Icon of class, Charming,Diva of fashion...
