Ever hear anything like this. I recently did my summer saree shopping and I mean with matching jewellry and purses and that. I bought four in one month. Then I went to get something else and found two other colours I also wanted, a wine and black, but with gold and whitish borders. These two are for the fall and we haven't started summer yet. Here you have to make the blouse - the material which comes with the saree. My mother use to make them, now I have to give them out. So I am a bit slow. In addition, for every new occassion, I get a new saree. Its an expensive investment with all the accessaries, but you enjoy every bit of it.
I hope I don't buy any more for a while. We women can get carried away with this kind of shopping. At last year's Diwali Mela, one woman bought many and when her husband left to go to the bathroom, she quickly bought another expensive one and didn't want him to know.
It's good to have a selection so you don't have to look for them when you need them. Chances are you don't get the colour, pattern and material to suit you when you urgently need them. I got like this over the last few years. Never mind those cheap ones I use to wear which suited my budget then. I am certainly making up for it now.
In the height of last winter, I wore a pair of trousers and loose top to attend one Sunday service. The head of the temple looked at me and was not pleased. He often says that it is not what you wear to come to temple, but the reason why you came. I guess he was referring to the shirts one or two people wear now and then. But he seems to oppose trousers. I would never do that again.
