Re: Times have a-changed, so should your wardrobe.
@Princess121 totally agree fads should be resisted, individuality is far more attractive than being part of the herd; my mentioning of fashion seasons was in response to : "cz the fashions change every second day".
I'm amazed at your ability to detect an exaggeration :)

Pink and Blue contrast is not a good look, it's not timeless like a red/maroon lehnga.

that's your own opinion and IS subjective. some might like that contrast and hate red...do you get that?
Re: Times have a-changed, so should your wardrobe.
There is no need to get so personally offended by what other people wear. Some people like pink and blue period, and do not care what you think of it. If you don't like those particular expired trends, then don't wear them. And if someone is wearing something you're not fond of, don't look at them.
Not everyone can afford to follow the changing clothing trends.
Re: Times have a-changed, so should your wardrobe.
Being "Pakistani" (in quotes because I don't acknowledge man-made borders that dictate we suddenly believe 2 distinct, opposite peoples live on either side of the border), this is one of many reasons I love India - their fashion has a lot more variety and room for expression in any given fashion 'season.' In Pakistan, when floor-length, tent-wide, long-sleeved kameezes are in, and Nomi Ansari/HSY/pick elite designer of your choice tells you shalwars are out and wide pants are in, everybody has to abide by the same uniform and anyone who wears something different might as well be a fashion-challenged, financially strapped pariah. Homogeneity is suffocating, and everywhere you look everyone stands identical.
In India on the other hand, short anarkalis (which have never really taken off in Pakistan - my designer/tailor flat-out refused to make a knee-length flared anarkali - it had to be mid-calf according to her) kurtis, kurta pajamas and chooridar suits will always be classic, timeless outfits.
Re: Times have a-changed, so should your wardrobe.
I think that pink/blue is a great combination - both in pastels and darker shades.
I also personally love short anarkalis - they're really flattering on me (or even anyone who's a little short in my opinion), or at least much more so than longer dresses and kameeze which would end at below knee/calf. So, of course I'm going to keep on buying them for as long as I can get my hands on them.
This doesn't mean that my wardrobe is totally unchanged. For the summer months I bought a few new asian outfits, half of which were of the current trend - they had long dresses and a couple had the baggy trousers/salwars. And 2 had hanky hems. What is up with the hanky hems? Again, I thought they were really unflattering because I felt really short and squat wearing them. Fortunately though the patterns are pretty so I'm still wearing them and they're not going to waste.
So, basically, I don't mind being the odd one out because the clothes still suit me and if you look good, you're not going to look outdated.
Re: Times have a-changed, so should your wardrobe.
You’re forgetting that the items of clothing that you hate always find its way back into fashion! So it may be that short anarkali’s may come back in! Also people can do and wear what they want..The fashion police don’t exist!
