Any of y’all try Seasonal Colour Analysis? I did and happily it didn’t diverge too much from my already preferred wardrobe. My only surprise was being asked to avoid yellow. #IWear

First saree of summer. This Bengal cotton with a hand painted half Kathalali face absolutely kills in the daytime but I think it looks pretty good even at the end of a hot, humid, tiring Mumbai day. #IWear

Was going to do Y2K throwback with double denim but the top doesn’t fit me anymore. So instead I went to 80s throwback with coloured denim & sporty shoes. All lunar shades too so ♋️ themed too. #IWear

Remembered these camo print cargo shorts I bought in 2017 that I didn’t dare wear afterwards. (Moral policing, colorism, gender stereotyping). @topher1kenobe.bsky.social reminded me of them yesterday & when I told him, said Pics or it isn’t true! So here😃 #IWear

Guess who got their eyes tested yesterday and everything turned out to be normal?
Some of y’all can’t handle the glory of my bright colours and it shows.

Wearing one of my creations after years. In 2002 I was in an abusive relationship & coped by painting on every scrap of cloth I owned. I was being silenced but it felt like my blood screams. 2023 was coming to terms with mental illness. I picked up crochet needles. Today I wore my healing. #IWear

Bringing back some 40+ melanin rich colours to your timeline. #IWear

Rare day when I feel I’m adulting right - cleared my work list, finished banking tasks, draped a silk saree, had Uber break down on highway so took an auto, got through a wedding reception & back. And didn’t lose my temper or sanity once. #IWear
Call this a post-40 glow.

Summer at work vibes. #IWear
I haven’t been a fan of brown shades but I think it really goes well with my skin tone. A kind of terracotta shade on the lips and mustard with block prints on my top.

I’m not given to girly frilly things but for white cotton with eyelet work (hakoba), I make an exception. #IWear

My summer look is Gujjuboi.
Yes, that is a men’s shirt, pure cotton, fake bandhini, full sleeves & more sasta than women’s wear. Saras che.

Trying to decide which way to go with my change of mood lipstick look. I’ve done eclectic lip art, statement reds, demure browns, dramatic matts. What’s next - Blazing orange or No lips? #IWear
-
New lip products are capitalist self-care. But also reclaiming traditional femininity so kinda feminist too. #IWear
-
It’s time for Mumbai winter wear - full sleeves & high necks, silk, satin & thick cotton and cool colours. #IWear

Pater’s birthday lunch had me in a saree. Fabric earrings were custom designed & hand made by my friend’s mom.
I thought this gorgeous Bengal linen deserved an authentic drape & Kalaniketan wooden jewellery too so a second look later. #IWear #SareeStyle

Is this look too young for 44?
It’s questions like that which make my rebellion such fun. #IWear
Earrings custom designed & hand made for me by my friend’s mum who is such inspiration for badass womenpower.

You can do metallic without being blingy. Birthday dinner for the mater.

Summer is my favourite season because it’s also saree season. #IWear: Madhurai cotton teal saree woven with violet & mustard threads. Cotton fuchsia blouse with yellow threadwork. #SareeStyle

I need new poses now that saree season is here again. #SareeStyle #IWear

Salwar kameez, the ubiquitous subcontinental garment has a varied history in my own personal life. #IWear

Cottons with Indian ethnic prints are my jam this summer. #IWear
