Phulkari embroidered dupatta, a vibrant OOMPH!
Another outfit from my Indian ethnic collection. This is about highlighting a plain black Pakistani style kurti by adorning it with ever beautiful bright colored Phulkari embroidered dupatta. Lately I have been quite obsessed with this gorgeously woven embroidery & it has undoubtedly been one of my most favorite purchases which I have already worn twice, yesterday while celebrating the festival of Lohri & once before at an Indian wedding function.
Phulkari which literally means 'flower work' has its origin etched in the culture of Punjab. Thus this Phulkari embroidered dupatta also added an oomph to my festivities & turned out to be my perfect #ootn for celebrating Lohri all Punjabi style. However, not limiting to its origin, it has sprang up like an evergreen style statement in all over Indian as well as Pakistani fashion too.

As you can see the floral design & colorful shades of this embroidered dupatta can even make mediocre look exquisite. Thus I have styled my Phulkari dupatta with a plain black Pakistani kurti that I got exclusively designed with some cut styling trends in front & back (leaf cut shaped neck & kite cut in back). The heaviness of threads, colors & mirror work in this dupatta is enough to accentuate & highlight any single & dull color, making the whole attire look vibrant. For more girlish look, its preferable to carry it with blacks & whites to balance the look as the work on dupatta itself has so many colors speaking out.
So for this wedding season, all the dolls who have been seeking the answer to their most commonly used statement- 'kya pehnu?' despite having a wardrobe spilling with clothes (a usual thing with all of us :P ), you can copy this simple yet vibrant look to bring out that ethnic oomph, all you need to buy is an evergreen Phulkari embroidered dupatta. (I bought it from Chandni Chawk market, Delhi)
P.S: Well you can also create some casual & bohemian looks too with this piece & since I am still not over with my obsession for this dupatta so fashionistas stay hooked on Oomph Syndrome for you will definitely see me playing with it, creating such different looks & statement, in my future posts. Till then lots of love & vibrant vibes to all the readers & followers :)
