Indian Clothing for Special Occasions

Even though I was born in the United States and I have never been to any different parts of the world, I have many friends who have. While I'm wishing that I can visit different places and travel the world, I end up living vicariously through my friends' experiences because I am so intrigued by other cultures.

One of my best friends, was born in India and moved to the United States when she was two years old. Because she moved here at such a young age, she was able to adapt to a whole new country. Luckily, she still remembers her native culture. When she was about to turn 16, she decided she wanted a party that would combine these two separate worlds into one. As an American tradition, she wanted to have a sweet sixteen celebration with an Indian twist: every guest had to wear Indian clothing.

I was a little bit caught off guard at this requirement because I have never worn any Indian clothing and I didn't even know where I would get any clothes, but my friend reassured me that she would help me. She showed me a few pictures of different outfits such as sarees, kurtis, and salwar kameez until I had a better idea of what I would need to wear.

Once I got a sense of Indian style and clothing, I still didn't know where to buy them. I asked my friend and she suggested that I check out Indian clothing online at Ahaarya. She told me that her and her family members get a lot of their clothes from there whenever they need an outfit for a special occasion.

I browsed their website and I was immediately awed by how many beautiful clothes they had. They had colorful clutches, gold plated bangles, kurtis, salwar kameez and mojris. I ended up purchasing a beautiful deep red saree and some accessories to go with it. At my friend's sweet sixteen party, I was excited to show off my outfit. I got many compliments and numerous people asked me where I got my clothes. Thanks to Ahaarya, I was able to dress appropriately and fit in.
