So I'm going to a Bollywood do n Friday night and wasn't sure what to wear.
Our neighbours ( who I know quite well) are Asian and I popped next door to ask for suggestions. She insisted I borrow a gorgeous sari, I wasn't sure I wanted to as firstly I want sure I could carry it off and secondly I was worried I could damage it. She absolutely insisted I borrow it, I was there for about 30 minutes where I said I wasnt sure and she just kept telling me I really should take it and try it and see how I felt. This was on Monday.
I brought it home and tried it on and really liked it and then yesterday the daughter from next door came round ( unasked) with a load of accessories as well. I decided to definitely wear it, tried it on to show my mum when she came round and told the friends I am going with on Friday I am wearing it.
Anyway, there has just been a knock at the door and it was the daughter saying her mum had changed her mind and could she have it back?
I'm working tomorrow and Friday and am going to struggle to get anything else suitable and I'm bloody annoyed about the whole thing now!!
Her husband was there when I visited and he was also insisting I take the bloody sari to wear so I don't think he's the issue either.
I don't know if there is something cultural going on - they are all British born, wear western clothes etc but I don't know.
I appreciate it's her sari and so she has the right to do what she wants with it but she really did push it on me, I didn't ask and I had to be persuaded by the whole family for 30 minutes to take it - she even wanted to come Round and help me put it on properly on Friday!!
Basically I'm really pissed off and am going to have to find something else to wear with not much time.
