So, I edited my Eid outfit. As pretty and cute those shoes were, I had to exchange them. I really liked them but to be honest with myself, I have no place to go with them. Nowhere appropriate anyway. I'm a casual girl in general, and as much as I wanted to rock a that sleek black look on Eid, let's face facts. This ain't the Gulf. I can't pull off the cool khaliji look here in this casual beachy town.
Besides, If Eid is on Tuesday, we're going to a fair/kids party type deal at the mall and then to dinner with friends. If Eid is Wednesday, we're going away to a resort for a few days so, yea, not wearing black there. SOOOOO, if Eid is Tuesday, I'll wear the abaya I mentioned earlier to the mall with a light yellow under-scarf and a grey crinkle scarf and the wedges I exchanged the heels for to have a more casual look.
Now, I know they are not nearly as WOW as the other ones but I had to think practically. Next chance I get I'm going to buy some nice heels like that but in leather rather than satin, so they're more wearable, inshaAllah.Besides, If Eid is on Tuesday, we're going to a fair/kids party type deal at the mall and then to dinner with friends.

So we're all set for Eid inshaAllah. Got all the kids' stuff, I just need to finish packing and clean up the apartment a bit. I love coming home to a nice clean place.
I got a few books from this used book place I found, I needed some reading for vacation. I've been looking for "The Lovely Bones" For a while now. The other 3 I just picked cause they looked interesting.

Shopaholic's really funny :D
ReplyDeleteThose heels were cute, but the wedges are more practical.
ReplyDeleteI read The Lovely Bones. I didn't like it. But I've experience with some of the subject matter, so maybe I'm biased.
I read The Lovely Bones and I liked it, it was MUCH better than the movie! I like the wedges better, sorry I'm not a 'fru-fru' kind of girl, I'd probably break my neck in heels, lol :) Have fun with your family and in advance, Eid Mubarak!
ReplyDeleteI read 3 books of the shopaholic series and if I remember well Shopaholic aborad is the second one...Anyway, they are hilarious, I hope you'll like it...
ReplyDeleteAshes, I'm 3 chapters in, it is. :)
ReplyDeletePanya, I've heard there's a graphic violent scene, I can understand.
Teri, The book's always better isn't it? I'd like one instance where a movie is better than the book! Thanks! :)
Nina Red, yea I saw the movie and this refers to stuff that happened there, it's cute.
ReplyDeleteSalaam sister :-) I absolutely loved those satin heels, but Im all for dressing appropriately :-) Another sensible choice I see you make mashallah :-)
ReplyDeleteNice shoes :)
ReplyDeleteI read the Lovely Bones - much much better than the movie. The movie was awful. I keep thinking to read the Sophie Kinsella books but I don't have time to read lately.
