Amateur blogger doing my bit. Sleep deprived at the moment.. almost 3 in the AM and staring at this screen in my state is nausea inducing but I do not want to end up with a draft. Getting straight to the point.
Took these shots today. Been wanting to do this post as long as I can remember.
NO its not a skirt, more like a wrap-around. Where I come from, we wear this. Tribal? Errrmm yeah. It can be a bit tricky when you put it on because one has to make sure you level the hem lines after each wrap around the waist. Traditional staple garment called 'puan' which is all hand woven BTW with intricate detailed designs and patterns. Colour makes for huge play including the traditional designs that has been acquired over the years hence giving it an identity that has become a part of this sleepy little town's heritage. Will definitely do more variations on this as well as more info on the apparel.

This is adorable :) is that a shawl wrapped around as a skirt ? the pictures are so fab as well:) loved it :)
It's great how you took something so traditionally formal (mostly) and made it seem so casual. Perhaps we need to venture into more variations of the 'puan' and see what else we can pair it with.
brilliant!
