Okay just to give everyone a giggle.... here is the suit we picked out for me... sorry for the really bad pic (it was taken on my friend's crappy older LG phone). So.... are the pants supposed to be THAT baggy? I assume they are from photos I have seen on patiala style... I know they are VERY comfortable! So this is the outfit I will be wearing this coming Sunday... can my pasty white self pull it off??

You picked the right one or someone helping you picked the right one. They look good. The colors of the suit give you color too ( atleast in the picture you posted they do ) So there goes the pasty white self !

I would love to be able to even have a little bit of tan! I am so white that people ask me if I am anemic sometimes! I am much more attracted to darker skinned guys... I guess that works since I chose Sikhi as my path! I hope to settle down with a nice Sikh Punjabi guy! I think Indian women were blessed with beauty and their darker skin tones are part of that... so why try to get rid of it??
Back to the topic - certain colours do bring out a bit more colour in me though.... PINK (any shade - my favourite) and any golds / bronzes / yellows / browns / tans and I can even pull off oranges in the more rust / sienna tones. Even though yellow and gold are light colours, they are vibrant so it seems to work. Was thinking of trying an airbrush tan though.... haha | | The following members appreciate Akasha Ji for the above message. | |

I might get a churridar set as well to change things up. The big thing is loose (which both are - churridar is only tight at the ankle) and the tunic is long enough to cover my butt! mundahug | | The following members appreciate Akasha Ji for the above message. | |

Sat Sri Akal,
I just wanted to calrify now that I have 3 punjabi suits to alternate (and I will probably have more) that NOBODY seems to have taken offense to me wearing them at all at the Gurdwara! In fact, all the Aunties keep telling me how nice I look!! I even had some of the younger Sikh guys come up to me asking me about my choice to be Sikh, they all told me they are impressed, and then they also tell me how nice I look wearing the punjabi suit too!! (Doesnt matter though, my heart belongs to another Punjabi Sikh guy - who also consequently likes me wearing Punjabi Suits!) Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=38862
Ya know, I secretly wish that this dress would take off in North America for ALL women! It's functional, can range from casual looks to very ornate, compliments just about EVERY body type - it hides the problem areas , is modest (looks good without being trashy) and it has to be about the most comfortable thing I have ever worn!!! It can be switched up between salwar pants, churridar pants, and some tunics (the shorter ones) even work well with jeans or khakis etc. The myth purpetrated online of white girls not looking good in Indian clothes I think is more based on people who pick colours that don't suit them. I know that bright geometric patterns do NOT suit me... more solid colours with embellishments work better in the pinks, tans, browns, golds, burgundy etc. ranges... maybe even teal/brown together. It's like anything else... wear what suits your skin tones. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=38862
Girls: Those of us in North America... I say we put the bug into fashion designers ears!!! If ppl see it on the runway you never know!!! What do you say? LOL It wouldn't be the first time that international ethnic clothing would have made an influence into new designs!  | | The following members appreciate Akasha Ji for the above message. | |

It sounds like so much fun. I wish I had a good excuse to own some traditional Punjabi clothes.  |
