It seems like a time when they can be helpful AND want to help, and are so interested in everything.

Mums and daughters. I am the mum of a boy so no pretty girly dresses here, he does like to dress up tho :). Rita that's such a gorgeous dress for your daughter. I hope she gets some fun wear out of it. She looks so pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-south-asians-what-is-the-opposite-of-soul-sucking-beige#post-435352 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 22:45:49 +0000 Diana 435352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, all of your little girls are so adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-south-asians-what-is-the-opposite-of-soul-sucking-beige#post-435345 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 22:40:25 +0000 Heather 435345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, your little girl is the doll version of you!!

She is almost 12 and 5 feet tall and growing by the day!<br /> She was six and seven in those photos, and truly little then. </p> <p>Sorry, Rita, for hijacking again, but Sona, congratulations on your weight loss and most importantly on the change of your style of life. I had a similar realization last year when my dad was very ill (he subsequently died, as well) and I, too, went on to lose a lot of weight. So we may not be body doubles but we are emotional twins on YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-south-asians-what-is-the-opposite-of-soul-sucking-beige#post-435312 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 21:28:23 +0000 Sona 435312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz- how old is your little one and what size does she wear? I would love to buy her an indian outfit ( we go in March 2012 fora family wedding).</p> <p>GP: I've lost 75+ pounds. mostly through taking a hard look at my life after my Dad passed and realizing that my type A personality was only making me gain abdominal fat and a whoe slew of medical problems. I now work part time, run and spend more time with my daughter. My husband is academic track and I am part- time so we will never be 'rich' but life and health in and of it self is the true richness not money or christian louboutins!</p> <p>Anyway don't want to hijack Rita's thread but have to say agin that your daughter looks just amazing and like a tiny Princess/bride! We need to get you a matching tunic!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-south-asians-what-is-the-opposite-of-soul-sucking-beige#post-435305 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 21:14:27 +0000 Suz 435305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh, am I ever glad I checked this thread! Your daughter is beautiful, Rita, and so are your girls, Sona! Wow, such lovely, lovely outfits. </p> <p>My daughter is from China and more than a bit of a tomboy. She refuses all dresses. But luckily, she does like the traditional Chinese trouser outfit with Mandarin jacket, and has had several of those over the years for dressy family occasions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-south-asians-what-is-the-opposite-of-soul-sucking-beige#post-435303 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 21:13:51 +0000 goldenpig 435303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, your daughter is so pretty in that red dress!</p> <p>Sona, your daughter is adorable. Love all of her Indian dresses. And wow Sona, you lost a lot of weight! How much did you lose? You were pretty before, but totally gorgeous now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-south-asians-what-is-the-opposite-of-soul-sucking-beige#post-435286 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:47:28 +0000 crazyone 435286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, your daughter looks so cute in her ghagra choli! Any "nice" event would do. Does your family ever eat Indian food in restaurants? That might be another occasion to wear the dress, if there are no fancy dress occasions coming up. Halloween is another option.</p> <p>Sona: too cute! your daughter is so precious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-south-asians-what-is-the-opposite-of-soul-sucking-beige#post-435259 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:05:26 +0000 catgirl 435259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Sona said.

That helps a lot! I was so nervous about this outfit when she pulled it out. All of that gold is individual hand beading, I cannot imagine how much work it took to make it. But she is sooo adorable in it, I think I am going to let her wear it for halloween. If not now, when? She might outgrow it before we have another family black tie affair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-south-asians-what-is-the-opposite-of-soul-sucking-beige#post-435227 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 19:01:08 +0000 Sona 435227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it can be worn to any cultural function- the outfit is called a lehenga choli or ghaghra choli- choli being the top, the ghaghra/lehenga being the skirt.</p> <p>also great for dress up. she could also wear it for Halloween and be an Indian/South asian princess.add some gold bead bling or a crown and she is ready to go!</p> <p>She ias adorable in it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-south-asians-what-is-the-opposite-of-soul-sucking-beige#post-435224 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 18:58:40 +0000 modgrl 435224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I woke up I realized my daughter had found a bag of special clothes I was saving for a special occasion. She is on Team Wear so she insisted this was the perfect time to wear it. </p> <p>Question for the South Asians in our group: this dress was a gift. I don't know anything about it. Is there a cultural significance to it? What would be the appropriate occasion to wear it, outside of every single possible moment? </p>
