Earlier this year my husband and I were appointed leaders of a monthly ceremony at our mosque. This has meant lots of things- connecting with the community, attending mosque more, coordinating and event planning - and also dressing up more.

I haven’t worn saris in years, but I decided to start pulling them out for this monthly festival. Some of them are from my wedding trousseau, some have been bought over the years, and some thrifted. But I love wearing them- the feel of the fabric and the intricate designs make me feel as though I’m wearing a piece of art. My mum and I spend hours trying them on and deciding on the right one over multiple cups of tea

How about you? Do you have another side of your life that you dress for? How do you manage that wardrobe and does it cross over into your main style?
