- Always decide on the outfits few weeks before the festive season begins.
- Check if your outfits are well ironed. A well-ironed outfit plays significant roles in chic and groomed look.
- Did you try the blouses, if they are well fitted or need any alteration? An ill-fitted blouse can ruin the whole look.
- After deciding on the dress decide on accessories.
Must have:
- Bangles are must have. A pair of bangles or stack of bangles instantly brings ethnic and festive vibes to your outfit.
- Any Indian look is incomplete without a bindi big or small according to your personal choice.
- Good clean nails always elevate any look. Chipped nails are an instant turn off no matter how lovely your outfit is.
- Decide on your footwear early. Last moment random pick footwear may be uncomfortable or does not gel with your look.
- I always believe that a good handbag definitely adds up your look. Potlis or embellished clutches are very to go with the ethnic or desi outfit.
I am looking forward to hearing from you how you decide your wardrobe how you get ready your festive wardrobe no matter where you are from.

ReplyDeleteLove this outfit. It's so colorful and festive looking and I absolutely love stacked bangles with any outfit! An outfit is not complete without the jewelry!
ReplyDeleteI always have trouble picking the perfect footwear. I either go with too comfortable or too cute when what I need is a combination of both. Your list is a great reference when getting ready for any occasion.
ReplyDeleteI love a unique handbag and a stylish pair of shoes to complement my outfit. I will always start shopping early to make sure I have enough time to find the right shoes for any special occasion.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely ensemble! Looks like you are well prepared for the festivals ahead. I need to work on the well manicured nails part, that's always my shortcoming and I need to put more thought into it!
ReplyDeleteI love that handbag. The colors are perfect. I think you must find shoes you can walk and stand in, otherwise you will be miserable. I always hate when I pick the wrong shoes for events like this.
ReplyDeleteThe outfit looks beautiful! I love the bright colors and the fun print on the skirt. What a fun time for your to enjoy your culture and dress up. My hubby and I are both from ethnic backgrounds and enjoy learning about other cultures.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted my wedding entourage to wear Indian clothes except I don't know if that's even appropriate since I'm not Indian. Question: what is a bindi? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors! It is one of my favorite things about other cultures clothing, how many vibrant colors some wear! I would love to see it all pieced together!

ReplyDeleteI love the bright vibrant colors that your outfit contains, so stunning. I love that you are giving these tips, I feel like when I see festivals I always see many bangles on the arms. I hope you have a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteI got the chance to wear this kind of dress when I attended an Indian wedding ceremony. I remember it is called Sari i think. I find it very hard to dress up but very unique experience.
ReplyDeleteMost of the festivals that I've gone to are more like fairs, and are usually on grassy fields, so flat shoes are a must. I usually just wear jeans or shorts and a t-shirt. I love your outfit! It's so colorful and fun! I would love to experience an Indian festival, I bet it's amazing.
ReplyDeleteYOu provide some useful tips for all wardrobe types. I always try to plan my outfits for special occasions. I also make sure everything is well-ironed ahead of time. There's nothing more nerve-wracking than realizing the morning of an event that you don't have anything to wear.
ReplyDeleteI have a few friends who have attended Indian weddings and I just love their photos! Their festivities are amazing! Great tips...and I agree about great footwear and accessories!
ReplyDeleteThat outfit is stunning! The colors are absolutely gorgeous. I love seeing new outfits from different bloggers and different cultures especially. I enjoy bright colors and wear them often.
ReplyDeleteI loved these tips. I loved the color of this dress. I agree with preparing ahead of time.
ReplyDeleteThese are all great tips for preparing a wardrobe for an Indian festival. I love the colors which are popping and go great together. The accessories are an important part of an outfit to that fit the culture.
ReplyDeleteI went to an Indian wedding once and had to buy a dress. It was so lovely and I got to wear a henna tattoo. It was one of the most fun times I've ever had.
ReplyDeleteI usually pick out a dress first and then accessories after. I don't really have a special way of doing it. I just go and try on whatever I could.
I'm so excited to go to India someday and was just thinking about what you should wear to a festival. This was very helpful. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous outfit:-) Festivals are always soooo much fun and beautifully colourful. Really enjoyed reading your wonderful article - Thank you
ReplyDeleteSo Beautiful!! I love the vibrant colors and prints.. absolutely lovely!
ReplyDeleteMostly when it comes to festive wear my daughter and I do the things that go with whatever holiday it has. This means shirts, dresses, pants and accessories if possible. So New Years hats and necklaces and ties and shirts or dresses for New Years. Or something else for a different holiday. I do love festivals so much.
ReplyDeleteLoving the post. The colours are great. I'm guilty of sticking to really drab colours but I feel inspired to do something a bit different.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! love the colors and fabric!
ReplyDeletegorgeous bright and cheery colors! <3
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm loving the pink, purple and gold combinations, comfy footwear is always a must and you can never have too many bangles.
ReplyDeleteIndian Saree when worn with all the jewelry and matching handbag, gives a perfect traditional look on any festival. Being an Indian I have a full wardrobe of sarees, bangles, jewelry and all other accessories, but still keep shopping new during festivals.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun season for you! :) Make the most of it ;) xx
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a very fun beautiful event. I love the outfit and the crisp polished look your going for! Enjoy getting to be you!
ReplyDeleteFantastic post, I hope you will enjoy all the celebrations and getting to dress in your beautiful outfits. I've never worn Indian fashion but I have always admired the style, beautiful fabrics and vibrant colours!
ReplyDeleteLoved learning about your customs & how you dress for celebrations. I hope you have a great time & glad you have the opportunity to keep your family customs.
