I found my camera (ish) - it's in my cousin's car, silly me! I really did think I brought it back in with me when he dropped me off a couple of days ago. The nutter didn't think of texting me to tell me my camera was there!

I went to my cousin's birthday gathering yesterday, hence no post for yesterday. There was some confusion about the dress code, whether it'd be more appropriate to wear traditional clothing, or whether we could relax and be more casual. At first I opted to wear a smart casual look - pinstriped trousers, long sleeved mustard top, and a waistcoat, but after asking her what she was wearing, I decided to go with a simple traditional dress



(lol, I look like such a dork with my grin.)

Generally, my traditional dresses are quite colourful and while I like mine cut simply (we get to custom-make all our clothes here!), other people go wild with different styles and quirky twists on the clothes. We get to choose the material from the stores, and choose how we like it cut. For more formal occasions, we make it more glitzy, I suppose, with embroidery and exaggerated fashions.

As I'll be working soon, my mum has been on a rampage to make new traditional clothes for me, as that's what we wear to work - traditional dresses with the headscarves. As a result, I do have two separate closets - one for my everyday clothes, and another for my work wardrobe, and that's just a burst of colour!

Will probably take a photo of it soon, when I get my camera back, hopefully!
