Abayas R Us

So we took ourselves to the mall - and as usual it was night time and I thought this lit up sign looked pretty! I have not a cookin clue what it says so if anyone out there wants to let me know... ?
and we ended up at AbayahsR Us... ok, so the shop's real name was something like Abayahs Bint El Noor - which sort of translates to me as "Abayahs for Girls All Black" and true to its name... that's what it was... a complete shop full of Abayahs in any colour you want as long as its black... Chris treated me to this one, the embroidery on the arms is gorgeous!! I wore it out to do the supermarket shopping on Thursday night and we met a work colleague of Chris', a lovely man called John, who complimented me on how nice I looked in my abayah..... I think he may have been in Saudi a wee bit too long.... LOL either that or he is after another English roast dinner!! ;)
