It's a bittersweet feeling as Diwali bids us goodbye.
The strings of twinkling bulbs that shone at our windows this past week are back in their boxes.
The kandeels have come down.
The gastronomic indulgences are over.
The partying, the dressing up, the celebrations of the Festival of Lights with family and friends is done.
It's time to pack up your lehengas, embroidered saris and heavy salwar suits and save them up for another occasion.
Now, bring out your breathable cotton silhouettes that scream comfort.
When Christmas comes, you can up your glam quotient again.
Till then, it's time to get back to your regular girl-next-door style.

Throw in some shades, a handbag and stilettoes like Mithila Palkar and you are good to go.
