What do you think of online shopping? I’ve been adopting this shopping method recently instead of the traditional shopping in stores. Especially, for Indian clothes. Sometimes it’s not possible to find what you’re looking for in your area. Therefore, many of us have to resort to online shopping whether by choice or not.

Online shopping definitely has its good and bad sides. There is a lot of variety online. Especially, for saris. Not so much for anarkalis. The bad side is that what you see is not what you always get. For example, I ordered a sari online recently which appeared to be a combination of light pink and purple. When I got it, in fact, this was not the case. The sari was pink but not purple. It was dark pink. It’s pretty but not what I imagined.

Another down side is fabric. You don’t always get the fabric you want. Same happened with me. As for the price, it really depends. Sometimes you can find a great price on the internet. Sometimes they are overpriced. It’s difficult to spend a huge amount online because you’re not sure what you’re getting yourself into.

The sizing isn’t always the best either. Ordering clothes online is always a risk but especially with Indian websites because they don’t always offer returns and exchanges. I’ve found some great stuff online though and would love to order again in the future.

I think that pink and its variations are the forgotten colors this season. What I haven’t seen much of is pink. Light pink is for the spring. Hot pink is for summer and magenta carries through summer and fall easily. In fact, it is fashionable at weddings all year long. Though I must say I did come across magenta at one point.

With summer ending soon try hot pink or magenta one of these days for a nice change from the other dull looks and if you haven’t yet definitely invest in orange!

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and though not Indian it has become adapted in most of our lives. So celebrate love the right way this year (more…)
