Raqs sharqi

beaded and hand painted Indian scarf from my brother

I am not the biggest fan of colorful items before and I don't really mix so many colors in one outfit. I just engaged mixing different colors this summer. Good thing my experimenting turned out well in this post combining different shades of blue and green, pink and gold as seen in my swimmers, scarf and accessories. 

Dancing on the beach like no one was there. lol

My belly dancer inspired beach outfit at Boracay. The scarf wrapped around my waist here was the idea of my boyfriend. He said its similar to the bedlah style costume of the belly dancers because of its fringe of beads. Belly dance or raqs sharqi in Arabic is a traditional Middle Eastern dance wherein all parts of the body are involved hence a good exercise. I shall enroll into a belly dancing class then. :p
