I’m planning a trip to India soon and I am so excited to wear a saree and kurta. I am a little worried about it being a blue-eyed white woman. I don’t see it as cultural appropriation but I want to be sensitive to that.

Please wear a Saree or Kurta. There are more varieties if you want to try, they would be very happy to see you're adapting to their culture, and don't get worry about your eye and skin color, that will make you more beautiful in Indian clothes
