As a Teenager I Miss or Missed!!

Mals dear,

Trust you to come up with these topics!!

Well for me, i had my Grand mom living with us, so it was all traditional. No pants of anykind. And definitely no sleeveless or short skirts etc...

Have worn more than my fair share of dhavani, salwars, below the knee skirts, and full length dresses etc....
But no short skirts, jeans, capris ...

Dear Latha,

That was a real surprise to know that you are comfortable with pants and jeans. Hey, you need not worry about huge siz.. those are bygone excuses. Today branded labels have clothes for all sizes. Why not try Pantaloon Collections. They have western clothes for slightly heavier people too. If you love to wear them, go for it.

Thanks for your lovely reply.

Hey Ank,

Just take a "High Five" from me. Even my all time favourites is Jeans, Capris and Cargoes. I love to hang in them, how much I hate to where those corporate dresses. i just die to reach home to slip in to my favs.

Your post marriage life is rocking buddy.. that was very cute of your in-laws to encourage you to wear western outfits. I love such people who not only make life easier for them but also for others ..

Thanks for writing in.

Dear Puni,

You missed out wearing your fav clothes in your teens for which u r making up now. What is important is we should get a chance to wear our favourite outfits be it a matter of time or age or figure. Keep rocking in your shorts.. buddy.

Hey Ovy,

From dhavani's to jeans and capris is a real jump baby. Keep it up. Thanks for appreciating this thread and no thanks for stepping in. What are friends for? What say??

Hey Vase,

Your post was really nostalgic. Just let it go baby. I think it is not too late to switch on to a pair of jeans with cotton shirts. Why not give it a shot? It is never too late to take any decision.

Hi Vandana,

Few people miss on wearing their favourite clothes at the right age and you seem to be one of them. Thanks for stepping in Vans.

Hi,

interesting thread - I got to wear all types of clothes except the low necks. Low rise jeans were not "in" then and bell bottoms were "out" - my teen years were between the two trends! Of course being in bombay not too many opportunities to wear a half saree...

mals my angelpie sweetheart

I really loved my pavadai dhavani dress..never felt i missed anything at all..
Thanks for all your wonderful topics..why dont u post yur photo wearing ur fav. dressin faces thread or even here??????????????????

Hi Malspie:

Nice topic for a poll.

Didn't really miss out on any kind of dress when I was a teenager. Infact, I remember being teased by my seniors for wearing trousers and sneakers!!?! So I had tone down myself to chudidhars. There was no restriction on the kind of dresses I could wear before marriage or after marriage.

But now, I do miss my sarees - haven't got enough of them here and would have loved to wear them more often.
