I have this outfit, it's a purple embroidered salwar kameez, which is the tunic-style top with baggy drawstring pants and a scarf that goes over my shoulders.
Anyway, I've determined that it's unlucky. It didn't start out that way, of course, but the last three times I've worn it, some sort of calamity has happened to prevent me from wearing it the entire day.
It's also getting progressively worse. The first time, the monsoon decided to break while we were out without an umbrella, so I got soaked through and had to wear something different to lessons that evening.
The second time, we went out for tea in the afternoon and I managed to get a giant, dirty glob of mint gum stuck to the bottom hem of the pants. I promptly changed.
The last time I wore it was Friday. I told Jarrod, "I'm going to attempt to wear this thing for the entire day. Wish me luck." I was mostly being funny, but when it comes down to it, I should have been dead serious. Within an hour I had spilled aloo dom, potatoes in a kind of curry sauce that you get on the street, on my kurta (the scarf).
I refused to let bad luck win, and rinsed out the kurta when I got back. Of course, nothing takes turmeric stains out of a garment except maybe bleach, so the stain is still there. I just arrange my kurta so that no one will think I'm a total slob by seeing it.
