Day 3 of Navratri: Rocking a Grey Khandua Silk Saree from Home – A Saree Addict’s Journey!

On day three of Navratri, I stepped into the festive spirit with a grey Khandua Silk saree. I’m embracing the challenge of wearing a new saree every day, in a different color, for nine days straight. It’s a celebration of handloom sarees, and my collection reflects my love for handcrafted pieces from various parts of India.

Today’s choice was an elegant grey saree. Grey is not a traditional festive color, but I loved how understated and classy it felt. I matched it with a black silk blouse to add a touch of contrast. Since Khandua sarees don’t come with a blouse piece, mixing and matching is part of the fun.

Minimal Makeup, Open Hair: My Go-To WFH Look

Working from home has its perks. I get to experiment with my saree styles without worrying about being overly dressed up. With my hair left open and just a touch of makeup, I felt comfortable and stylish. The beauty of a Khandua Silk saree is in its simplicity, so minimalism suits it perfectly. A light base, a hint of lipstick, and I’m all set.

The Art of Fun Sareeing

Fun sareeing, as I like to call it, is my way of making saree-wearing an enjoyable daily habit. I love styling sarees even when I’m not stepping out. There’s something so liberating about draping a saree at home and enjoying it in your own space. No rules, no fuss – just pure saree love.

Why Khandua Silk for Navratri?

Khandua Silk has this raw, earthy appeal that’s hard to resist. It’s not as glossy as other silks, but it has an authenticity that’s unique to Odisha, where it’s crafted. Each piece is woven with love, carrying the essence of tradition. This saree was perfect for a quiet day at home, bringing a festive vibe without the need for extra sparkle.

Saree Styling Tips for WFH Comfort

When styling sarees at home, comfort is key. Here are some tips I follow:

Go Easy on Makeup: I keep it light, focusing on a natural look. It feels more relaxed and effortless.
Pick a Comfortable Blouse: Since Khandua sarees don’t come with a blouse, I get to play around with different styles. Today, a black silk blouse did the trick.
Wear Minimal Jewelry: I usually skip heavy jewelry for a WFH saree look. Simple earrings and a watch are enough.
Experiment with Hair: Today, I left my hair open. Sometimes, I try a loose braid or a bun – whatever feels right.

Saree Addict at Heart

If you haven’t guessed by now, I’m a saree addict. My love for handloom sarees knows no bounds, and I’m always on the lookout for unique pieces. From Bengal’s Jamdanis to Odisha’s Khanduas, each saree has its own story. Collecting them is more than a hobby; it’s a way of connecting with India’s rich textile heritage.

My Website: Sharing the Saree Love

Having my own saree website allows me to share these beautiful creations with fellow saree lovers. Each saree is carefully curated, with an eye for quality and tradition. It’s not just about selling; it’s about spreading appreciation for handwoven artistry. Whether you’re a saree newbie or a seasoned saree wearer, there’s something for everyone.

The Joy of Handcrafted Sarees

Handcrafted sarees like the Khandua bring a sense of artistry to my wardrobe. Knowing that each piece has been woven by skilled hands adds a layer of value that no machine-made saree can match. It’s why I prioritize handcrafted sarees in my collection. Each piece is unique, with slight imperfections that make it special.

Celebrating Navratri in My Own Way

Celebrating Navratri from home has been an intimate and personal experience. Wearing a different saree each day brings a sense of purpose and joy. It’s a reminder that festivals aren’t just about going out or socializing; they’re also about personal reflection and enjoying simple pleasures.

Wrapping Up Day 3: Ready for Day 4

As I wrap up day three, I’m already thinking about tomorrow’s saree. The beauty of Navratri is in its continuity – each day brings new colors, new styles, and new feelings. I’m grateful for this journey and for everyone who’s joined me in this 9-day saree adventure.
