I don’t remember a time when the florals were completely out of favor! This one is interesting because it shows orange roses with stems and leaves being rose colored; this is the oldest trick in the book. Change the colors so that the there is a transference of colors from one element to the other and it gives it just a tad excitement.
This is such a remarkable picture!

The saree is unremarkable, unless you consider the plain saree in itself as remarkable; and I can’t tell much about the blouse except that it is glittery and tassels and is embellished. That’s why I think the saree needs to have a zari border so that you are not relying on the blouse for the glam look.
But she has something else going for here – wonderfully coiffed hair. Looks like she just walked out from the salon after hours of teasing her hair to make them look absolutely perfect. And I think she succeeded; I am not sure about the tikka, but Liza looks Marvelous – to borrow a phrase from the 80′s.
Sometimes you see the colors, you see the texture, you see the embellishment and yet, the personality of the saree doesn’t come out.
