December 10

If I could, I think I'd wear Kanjeevaram every day.  I never want to take those saris off.  It's true.  I've dawdled to the point of falling asleep in them, much like I did when I was seven and refused to take off my "princess" dress--a white, miniature ball gown my father purchased for my birthday.  I passed out in it, long after my party was over and my 75 guests had gone home. 

I feel more beautiful, more special and somehow, though it doesn't seem logical, more authentically myself when I'm wearing six+ yards of silk.  I think I was born in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

I hear you, sister. I too feel more beautiful and more special wearing yards of silk.

I feel more beautiful and special when you're in yards of silk ... but when I'm dressed more casually ;)

Ennis wins the comments already. :)

And there's no rules saying you can't wear your kanjeevaram princess saris more often ... :)

How cool is the fact that you can wear one again on saturday!!!
