Thank you so much every one. Your kind and encouraging words are deeply appreciated. thank you for indulging me -
sorry i cannot reply to every one and just answering few questions which few members asked, but trust me i am blowing kisses towards all of you
DianeG: I think the member you mentioned must be before my time. i have not seen any traditional outfits so i wanted to ask the members first .
also, this top/kurta has embroidery all over it. The beige design all over and on borders is not a print. I absolutely adore all things you mentioned. Thank you!
Smitte:
Thank you! I picked up a sculpting pomade from a local drug store (walgreens) to add some texture. i am forgetting the brand name but it was suppose to create a messy look. I have really thick and coarse hair with slightly wavy texture. i just needed to "nudge" them in right direction.
this youtube video was my inspiration --- as i am planning to let my gray hair grow

Suz: thank you for your words. initially i was confused by this juxtaposition of eastern outfit and more modern ( aka western) haircut. but it grew on me quickly. i will keep showing you my face as long as dear hubby keeps taking my pretty pictures..
BethAnn: ooooohh.. an compliment with Angie's name in it! i am FLATTERED --- her recent hair style is my favourite and SO FAB. Now i am grinning ear to ear
Crazyone: Thank you ! I do not have many either but since last few years with trend of long shirts/pants over pants and crisscross of inter cultural influences i am wearing them more and more. Also I am not working right now so my lifesttore.yle is much more casual. I also really like to mix things from various cultures as i have spent each decade of my life in three different countries , i have picked things from there. I am more of a " world market" style girl.
Angie: Thankyou Bosswoman!! I am humbled
KiwiGal: you are absolutely correct, it is a kurta --- ( which mostly means ..a knee length loose fitting, full sleeved top worn by men or women )
Finally <b)momo: yay for YOU and me!!!!! Thank you for starting that hair inspiration thread. I was too non committed to tell anyone but all comments on your post helped. I hope you are enjoying the freedom.. I am still learning to style my hair and how well it goes with my current-not-really-updated wardrobe. I feel so light.
