I tend to like the more plain ones anyway, maybe because you're right, shininess and sparkliness don't seem right for everyday...and I hesitate to wear them...
The salwar kameez looks very cool and breezy, I'd love to wear the top and scarf at least in the summer. I also don't want to look like an ethnic wannabe...
