Dubai Abaya On Me

Today I had the mood to dress up a little to work for the first time ever wearing abaya which my cousin bought from Dubai. It was for my mum but I lent it from my mum. I love colours so I loved how the abaya looked on me . Here are the photos :

Man I look like a dwarf in the last photo, superbly short!
You may wonder why I wore a belt. It is only because my abaya is too big and long. The belt actually helps to shorten the length cos i pulled out about an inch of the dress over the belt. So what do you think about this abaya style? FYI I did the whole 9 yards wearing eyeliner and mascara and all. LOL. But hey the reaction I got from public was kinda surprising, people gave me stares and smiles for I don't know why.Any idea why?

You asked why folks might have stared and smiled at you. Maybe because the abaya is gorgeous???

You look too cute, very gypsy-esqe. Were you wearing it in Dubai? Cuz in any Khaleeji country that is not an abaya---it is a jalabiyia (a house dress) worn not as jilbabiyia (too look modest and pretty but not to be seen by men:D) My little sis does it all the time.
