I'm sure I'm not the only one here who has secretly wished she could sometimes be Muslim just for the clothes. Not talking the burka here people but the ones I always see the local Muslim ladies wearing. Looks like a dress almost with matching pants underneath. I have admired them since highschool. They look so comfey like PJ's but they are always so pretty!

Anyway, I was at Value Village the other day looking for a fan (because it was like 95 freaking degrees and I was determined not to turn on my AC. I lost.) and I happened upon some of these outfits. And then more and more! Turns out that there is a whole rack of them! They range from you basic t-shirt fabric simple version up to these amazing lacy formal beaded numbers. I pawed through them all just giddy with my find. Almost all of them were handmade, in various sizes and there were probably close to 40 in all.

I didn't buy any. Didn't even venture into the dressing room with them. But I wanted to. I did end up buying a dress though. I will probably never wear it. It has the oddest pattern and a very very full A-line skirt. I bought it because it fit even though it was marked as a size 10! LOL Thinking I might wear it to Radcon next year. When else would I wear a dress? Never know when you might need one I guess...
