I have a beautiful earring and necklace set form FMIL that she gave to FI to give to me almost a year ago (she was being nice and vaguely accepting at the time), and it's been sitting in my jewelry box being not worn. It's pretty, but it's too dressy for my everyday style. Here's a photo of the pendant. The color's a little hard to tell, but it's lavender.
I'm planning to wear it to the mehndi party, and (as silly as this sounds), finding something that I like that it will play nice with is proving challenging. I want something Indian, or at least Indian-inspired. I considered a sari, but I don't want to wear something that I'll be fiddling with all night and risk smudging the artist's hard work. I've been looking for salwars and churidar suits with little luck in something coordinating or matching. I did find one that I really liked (matched the purple in the stone almost perfectly), but I'm not so willing to spend $122 plus shipping and stitching charges on it.
Are there any other things I could look into, or any places/websites I could look? I've checked sareemax, utsavsarees, and sarijewels already with little luck. I'm only having my arms henna'ed, so it needs short sleeves, but covered legs aren't a problem.
Thanks in advance!
