abaya
(noun) – a long black long sleeved robe worn by Muslim women in Arabic-speaking
countries, often with a headscarf or veil (Dictionary.com, 2015)
Today was abaya shopping day! I only kept one abaya from
the UAE so, I need to replenish my abaya wardrobe. Abaya shopping is always a
challenge. There are lots of choices and the prices vary depending on the
material and decorations.
My friend and I headed to the souq (shop) in town where there
is a whole row of abaya stores. It reminds me of a strip mall constructed of
numerous store fronts with a sea of black material. Yet, amongst that
black material there are bits of sparkle and touches of color. And, after about
two hours of shopping my friend and I both had a garment we were pleased with.
