My Eid Outfit-Sari Inspired

This post is extremely late but I'm sure you will forgive me ;)

I decided on my outfit two days before Eid. I wanted something elegant but simple so decided upon a cream maxi dress from H&M and a dupatta from a shalwar kameez outfit. The dupatta is decorated with a lot of detail which I think works well with the plain dress. I've worn a black long-sleeve top underneath and a black hijab with a gold headband.

So I first draped the dupatta at the front as shown in the photo below:

I am not amused!

I then decided to pin to the maxi dress in a sari style. I used 3 safety pins which stayed in place throughout the day. This is the look as shown below:

Yes this is me on a bouncy castle :p

I'll be writing a post on my Eid mendhi as it's not very clear in the photos.
