Double Up That Dupatta

Every fashionista worth her money knows that you can’t be caught wearing the same outfit twice in 9 days. But if you don’t want to spend an entire month’s salary on just dressing up, make your dupatta do double duty. Buy a versatile one in bandhani print, which you can wear with a black outfit or even mix up with a yellow or green!

Doll Up With Junk Jewellery

This is not where you invest in statement pieces. This is where you go street style shopping. Buy jhumkis or silver jewellery off the road. If you’d rather buy them online, pick something that you can wear beyond these 9 days. A cute necklace that can work on other days when you are trying to pull off a boho look, maybe?

Play Around With Outfits

Yes, you may be tempted to go shopping and splurge on blouses and cholis of all designs, but can you really think of anywhere else you will be able to wear these? Yeah, I didn’t think so. If you are looking for solutions on a budget, a great idea is to use your crop tops as an alternative to boring blouses. Pretty sure you have many you can play up with a dupatta and ghagra!
