Trust me a small detail can perk up your ethnic look any time. So never ignore that smallest details in your appearance. Consider the tassels that you often put in the lehengas or in the blouses that you pair with a gorgeous saree, even at times the pallu of the sarees comes embossed with multiple tassels or latkans.
So if you think picking up any tassel can sort out a problem - then you're wrong my ladies. Just as a a beaded border on a plain saree is enough to convert a basic ensemble into a party-ready outfit. A cool tassel can just make you appear more creative, trendy and sassy - and not at all flashy (break this myth, please!)
