Yesterday I reviewed A Time to Dance, a lovely book about a girl overcoming adversity and finding her love in dancing. The book taught me quite a bit about Indian culture and dance, so today's outfit is inspired by the female protagonist Veda and her love of the dance bharatanatyam (look it up on Youtube; it's really cool!).
This outfit is inspired by the clothes used in bharatanatyam. Here's what I came up with:
- These flowing pants are very popular in bharatanatyam, so I chose a pair that wasn't too bright or patterned. The black button-up top is similar to the shirts seen on the male dancers.
- The black flats are simple yet a definite part of the outfit.
- Bubble bracelets and anklets are very popular in the dance, so I chose a group of bracelets that are similar yet still chic.
- Evil eye earrings ward off bad spirits--there's much symbolism behind them.
