Re: HELPP!! first trip to pakistan after wedding.. meeting most of the in laws

@dooree

I just got the green card so am planning a visit to pakistan in a month to meet my in laws and have a reception and valima. I have a ton of heavy dresses but i don’t have casual/semi formals. I am always on top of trends to the extent that i’ve bought samples used at fashion shows directly after a show from certain lahori designers. but i live and work in boston now and it doesn’t make sense for me to be spending $300-$400 on a desi designer outfit which I’ll only wear once.

so to cut a long story short, i don’t want to buy sania maskatiya even though looking at her outfits pains me with longing and desire and urgggh. instead i want to create trendy desiwear by buying outfits from here so i can wear them in boston afterwards.

(btw below is a sania maskatiya dress that makes me want to cry…, but i shall not look at it)

For example this BCBG dress might work with tights (white?purple?black): BCBGMAXAZRIA - YOLANDA DRESS
please please please send me other suggestions as i don’t have much time and i want to look like the awesome trendy person that i am and not a sloppy amreeka return wearing outfits from 3 seasons back.

You are going to pak, I would suggest that you buy ur cloths that u want to wear over there from there .. as from experience I can tell u that things from here look off there … u will not feel comfortable and most probably u will feel not in with them, believe me. Fashion from here looks good here and fashion from there looks good there unless its a desi gathering.

Anyhow there are ready made boutique that have western influence desi wear, u can go shopping as soon as u get there.
