salaam! i received an email from a sister who loves the coverage and comfort when wearing an abaya but she feels that she looks too frilly and proper in them. she asked me if i could put together an abaya outfit that was edgy and more tough. i am in LOVE with these boots, if only they weren’t so expensive. you could easily put this outfit together. play around with vests and sweaters on top of your abaya and you will make an outfit that is anything but boring!

I personally don’t wear high heels so I always like to put together outfits with flats or sandals that still look classy.

For today’s outfit I made an abaya fashion fit for a workout! This abaya is super soft and comfortable for exercising in and the shoes are so cute!
