Physically, this outfit is wonderfully comfortable, but it is outside of my normal sartorial comfort zone. I felt perfectly dressed when I wore it in India, but it feels a bit out of place here. I slightly mitigated that feeling by swapping out the coordinating harem pants for brown leggings and leaving the matching shawl on the hanger. It is a little traditional Indian crossed with a little typical Western.
Tunic, purchased in India; leggings, Walmart; sandals, Younkers; earrings, handmade by me; necklace, purchsed at Arts in the Heart; bracelets, made by me, handmade and gifted (thanks Chenille!), and thrifted.
I've only worn this custom-made tunic a few times since I purchased it in India last summer. I love the intricately embroidered fabric. I wish I had brought a bolt of it home with me.
As is often the case, I realize that I look a lot different (and less awkward) than I thought.
