Yes Muzna, I will be wearing a charcoal gray Borrelli suit, with a checkered picnk and white french cuff shirt from Hilditch and Key, my special occasion Concord cufflinks, a dark blue solid Hermes tie, black captoes from A Testoni and a Prada belt.
SO what time should I come over for the party? is it BYOB ala Roman's house or you will have somehting?
Re: Have you got your new Eid outfit yet?
WHat if u never buy anything new EXCEPT during eid? I for one rarely buy desi stuff, but only for less-than-noble reasons :( I was gunna ask my dad to bring me something from pak but naaahhhh, i dont like having clothes made for me that i dunno wat they look like... i do feel jealous when all my friends get such nice stuff from their relatives and none of mine acutally do send me anything but i guess it's better coz quite honestly, i prollyw udn't like wat they sent.. i'm very picky and particular about my clothes
Re: Have you got your new Eid outfit yet?
Danda… pink and white is lovellyyyyy :love:
Re: Have you got your new Eid outfit yet?
nice thread. i dont make new dress on eids either. i hardly get to wear shalwar kameez as it is so i just wear clothes that i have worn before. most of my shalwar kameez are new, hardly worn more than one time. this time however, the eid dress is coming from susral 
so i’ll wear that and it will be my first eid in pakistan, so i am looking forward to it 
Re: Have you got your new Eid outfit yet?
I do that too, i dont know for how long though n I try to give it to converts just because they dont even have family. Oh n i never forget to spoil myself though :D
Re: Have you got your new Eid outfit yet?

Re: Have you got your new Eid outfit yet?

Re: Have you got your new Eid outfit yet?
hehe if my mamma was here and she saw me spend all my money in JH (suits and samosas) she would send me on a one-way flight to karachi,,,,or worse, get me married. cuz on the one hand i told her to buy me lotsa suits from pak....she thinks i have no clothes.
Re: Have you got your new Eid outfit yet?
Hahahhahahaha!!! My mom says unmarreid girls shudnt’ spend somuch money on makeup and clothes and lingerie and stuff 
Re: Have you got your new Eid outfit yet?
Even though I feel very guilty making new clothes I already have two. One is already on a hanger in my closet the other needs to be stitched. Can’t wait to get my mehndi done 
Re: Have you got your new Eid outfit yet?
femme fatale- where do u get your mehendi done from?
Sara- my mom is just being a hypocrite.....i heard from reliable family aunties that she used to spend her paycheck on chanel and christian dior handbags and shop at bloomingdales when she was working before marriage......and now she raises her eyebrows at me shopping weekly at Forever21 !!!! what the...?!
Re: Have you got your new Eid outfit yet?
but sticking to muzna's topic yeah it would feel really nice if i made a decent suit and sent it to someone who cant afford one.....
Re: Have you got your new Eid outfit yet?
why would u want lingerie if you werent married? actually nevermind, dont want to know 
But yeah the whole clothes thing doesnt make sense
Re: Have you got your new Eid outfit yet?
Well uhav the whole yr to help the needy, and Eid is a special day, whynot enjoy it? Although I hafta admit, my cousins come dressed up like theuy’re going to a shaadi, their hair done in big poofy 6 inches above their head or sumfin and then they look at me like i’m a bum coz i’m barely wearin mascara, i dint get my eyebrows done (was tryint o grow em out) and not much jewelry.. :pagal:
Re: Have you got your new Eid outfit yet?

Re: Have you got your new Eid outfit yet?

Re: Have you got your new Eid outfit yet?
