Diwali 2009 was recently celebrated by 1Malaysia (One Malaysia). Liya has been fascinated by Punjabi suit and saree with all the glitters and bright colors and beautiful designs.
We went to a nearby Indian’s store where Liya had tried on many pairs. I let her choose and decide as well as to give me feedback like if she likes the fabric, ornaments, beads, color,design, etc. Having options and looking at various perspectives would be essential when Liya grows up. Liya needs to be confident to make a decision, be firm about it and live with it.
We came home with a pair of Punjabi suit. A shawl too. And Liya has a pair of bangles to go with her suit. The lady owner who had fallen in love with Liya at the store gave her more accessories – a necklace and a pair of earrings to complete Liya’s new look.
