Better to be Sari Than Safe

There's a reason why saris never made it to the west. Let's face it: white women tend to drown in them or come off as entirely unmemorable against their bright, overpowering colours. That's why white women cringe - but only superficially - when their white daughters marry brown sons and insist on carrying out his traditional marital customs.

Mom, will you dress the part?

I feel your pain, white mothers. I do.

This woman, however, not only dons the sari, she rocks it.


I take it back. She OWNS it.


Choosing a conservative palette and pattern that work for her and pairing them with bold, chunky jewelry, she sees her daughter's "will you dress the part?" and raises it an "I will stun the masses."

Well-played, MOB. You're the inspiration.
