'If someday the moon calls you by your name, don’t be surprised, because every night I tell her about you'

- I was about to write very similar lines in my own words as caption this evening, and I suddenly realized this is coming to my mind not because of romantic originality (haha) but because I have definitely already read it somewhere. A few moments later I recollected this beautiful verse by Shahrazad Al-Khalij, something I found whilst going down a Tumblr rabbithole one moonlit night. It's #Drapember2020 Day 22: Moon 🌜

#SOTD is a moonlit silver kasavu, with a stripe of midnight black sky, and a touch of dainty silver polki. I've developed a new habit for jewellery shopping, whenever I buy an earring I always buy a ring to go with it, or vice versa, at the same time. I like how it makes it a pair, completing any outfit with ease like a ribbon on a gift. It also cancels the hassle of wondering what to 'complete' the ensemble with when you're getting dressed and have pretty earrings but absolutely nothing else for your wrists or fingers. With necklaces, I buy a necklace only if I already know I have studs to go with it. If I don't, and it's really beautiful and worth the investment, then I buy studs or a ring to go with that neckpiece together. Buying much less frequently, buying more expensive, higher quality, handcrafted jewellery in well planned strategic combinations when I do buy once in a while - that's my norm now. Long gone are those impulsive Colaba Causeway clatter days, and absolutely gone are the "let's just get it just because it's so cheap, I'll see later how to wear it" buys. This ring and earring are the same handcrafted jewellery tradition, bought from two different artisanal curators. A mindful jewellery styling and shopping tip for you, if it helps make accessorizing easier✨ The next moon I've got my eye on, is @anumerton's crescent moon pendant *sighs*

Pick your fav 🌼🌕 #Drapember2020 Day 22: Moon
