Day 5 of Navratri is dedicated to the worship of Goddess SkandMata and is ruled by the colour Royal Blue which represents divine energy.
The saree I am wearing here is a linen saree I had bought from Kerala last September. It's a deep blue colour, but somehow, the pictures don't do justice to how gorgeous it is. I paired this saree with my vintage oxidized jewellery which was a hand me down from my cousin when I was barely 12 years old.
I still have it, because I love it too much.
I can't believe we are already on the fourth day of Navratri. Day 4 is dedicated to the worship of Godess Kushmanda and is ruled by the colour Red which represents passion and anger as well.
If you knew me personally, you would know that I am one of those few persons who don't like the colour Red. So it is almost impossible to find the colour in my wardrobe. So MIL came to my rescue again and lend me this blood red Gajji silk bandani saree. The fabric of this saree is so soft and wearable, that it was a delight to drape and carry.
I have already added Gajji silk saree to my list of must own sarees. Wore my mom's mangalsutra and earrings from Vintage Desi to complete the look. 
P.S. Don't ask me why I am posing with the guitar. ;)
Day 3 of Navratri is dedicated to the worship of Maa Chandraghanta. The colour of the day is White which represents peace, calm, serenity and purity.
The saree I am wearing here is called Panetar and is one of my wedding sarees. Panetar and Gharchola are part of Kutchi bridal wear and since I had a Kutchi wedding, I had worn it in my wedding. Since, it is in the classic combination of white and red, I decided to drape it in Bengali style. Special thanks to my MIL for helping me drape this one, with the help of YouTube videos. I couldn't have managed it alone. A big red bindi, gold jewelry and a red floral clutch helped complete the look.
The pot I am holding in my hand is called a Garba and is part of Navratri celebrations in Gujarati households. The Garba is worshiped twice a day by lighting a diya inside it and singing bajans and hymns.
Day 2 of Navratri is dedicated to the worship of Goddess Brahmacharini, the unmarried form of the Mother Goddess. The colour associated with the day is orange which signifies, tranquillity, brightness and knowledge.
Orange is not a colour I am exactly fond of, so I do not own a saree in the colour. So I decided to attempt a jugaad and borrowed MIL's orange blouse and peach saree and combined it with an orange dupatta to create today's look. Added some pearls and this gorgeous pearl potli from Perfect Cutt to complete the look. Scroll down for the pictures.
This look reminded me of Indian royalty and I am going to attempt creating more such looks in the future.
