OUTFIT OF THE DAY-EID LOOK

Being in October and during the most beautiful season, this year's eid ul adha theme had to be just that; Spring.

 
A simple royal blue abaya from here. The neck piece was gifted.

 
Dull gold glitter loafer from Call it Spring. Arm candy from Mr Price. The flowers on my wrist is actually a headband, ssshhh don't tell anyone.

Blue and white pashmina scarf.

 
I'd rather have flowers on my head than diamonds around my neck. Kidding!! Could I please have them both? 

The headband is a neck-piece-turned-headband. Talk about versatility!

A belated Eid Mubarak to all those that celebrated.
