My Pakistani Dress

So a few days ago I posted a pic of my new Pakistani style dress that my friend's father hand tailored. Well I finally wore it the night before last and took some photos :-) I got a ton of compliments, and can I just say I would wear those pants or 'shalwar' EVERY day if i had more pairs. They are extremely light and airy.

What do you think?

I wore my gold sandals which I should have had for this photo - they really made the outfit

Oh the pants! I love the pants!

The top or 'kameez' has a sweetheart neckline, which camera is hiding part of

With my sequined black shawl

Photo an Hour

I've been inspired with this 'Photo An Hour' theme some are doing their blogs. Wednesday, I decided to give it a try. Though I didn't quite make a photo every waking hour - I did get a few interesting shots.

11am - coming home from a friend's house - i noticed this building art on near my street. NYC has some killer billboards and building art.. I keep saying I'm going to make a photo collection. Well, I guess this is the first shot!

12 pm - Checking out my new Pakistani outfit. My friend's father, who is a tailor, handmade it. Watch for an upcoming post. Btw girls, those pants are the MOST comfortable you will EVER wear. 

1pm - Leaving again - I noticed this 'No Frack' sign right across the street from my building. Frack is short for 'induced hydraulic fracturing' or 'hydrofracking'. The people are referring to the method used to obtain gas and oil from the ground.  It is feared that this method can cause water contamination.  Interestingly, most of Brooklyn's water supply is from upstate NY where there are many companies drilling for gas and oil. 

10pm - Going out with my new trench (Target) and shawl (Pakistani shoppe) Please forgive the messy background. I didn't edit this photo.
