I have a confession.
I prefer gent's kerchiefs. They make more sense to me than the dainty kerchiefs that are designed for us womenfolk. I couldn't wipe my sweat, nor blow nose in these beautiful pieces.
Then the Chunnis. the long scarf that is gonna get caught somewhere...doesn't feel royal to me at all. It is so warm out here. I sweat in it. But the attire seems incomplete without it.
I prefer no chunni set up, so welcome co ords.
Did I mention washing...aah...kerchiefs, they disappear and chunnis...take some time.
They have to be matching so better be careful with them. LOL
On the whole, I want to know who makes women's clothing so dumb?

I think that these type of kerciefs originated in the Victorian Era and were never revamped. I don't think women during that time blew their noses.

Good to see you. I was too missing here. Daddy evil was missing us both
.
I use big men handkerchief. And it's been long since I stopped using chunni unless it's a function or some formal event.

If I stop using Chunni people stare. Yesterday I think it was third time that the chunni got stuck on some nail of banana cart. The synthetic ones somehow have mind of their own. So I may move out properly with the chunni curled around my neck. Suddenly I realize one of the ends is going to touch my foot. Discomfort of heat plus managing the garment. I wonder how others manage it.

@arunima25 Honestly, I have same issues with sarees. If I wear one, I literally pray before god before leaving the house, that whatever be the ordeal, it should get over within Cinderella time. LOL

@vandana7 Oh! That's quite surprising. Here, no one notices it. In fact having a chunni makes you overdressed for regular days
. Unless someone puts it regular as habit. I used to buy saree and nice dupatta every time I would spot something good and affordable. But not any more. I have enough for beyond this lifetime. I don't take dupatta on regular days. But I will leave no opportunity to dress well with those smart saree and formal dressing with those lovely well crafted dupatta. And the nature of my job gives me many opportunities to use them. So, they are properly utilised. Plus, it's always there for friends and family who will handle them with care and return it.

Probably men from listening to women. Its true, when women stuff like that happens, they ask for men's stuff because men just like dirt more I suppose and it needs to be more rugged. These true men that work with their hands not these rich people like Trump that just talk all day.

Glad we don't dress like that here. Right now I have a sleeveless shirt and a pair of shorts on

My Chunni's have tassels at both ends. And the roads here literally have no pavements, kinda either people park their vehicles, or some vendor sits to sell something. This forces us to walk on edge of the pavement and road...so speeding vehicles can get entangled.

I don't have any doubt that a woman designed the concept.

@vandana7 Men are allowed to say "you look beautiful" only. Rest is noise.

For starters, you agree, it is insane creation? Even heels. Damn it, when we have to run we cannot ...without breaking the heel, and then running bare foot is not something we are accustomed to. All those poking pebbles. LOL. Emergencies like missing a train, bus, been there, done that. LOL. Why only women must suffer ankle pains....insane. But why don't men say you look so funny with those contraptions?

No chunnis for me either. I hardly wear suits, and that too if the occasion explicitly demands it. Cannot tolerate the heat. Co-ord sets are great for outings and at home shorts and t shirts for me.

I wonder how they tolerated it in the past. In fact, I wonder how I tolerated them. LOL.
Definitely not right clothing.
Great that you wear shorts and t shirts. I live in a conservative environment, so that is not ok.
But I sure am glad Co ords have come around.
How are you doing kiddo? How is your kid?
Pony licensed me to redo his songs. Let me know when you feel you can spare time for it.
