This Friday, I had the pleasure of going on a shopping trip for Eid festival preparations with my family. It was an exciting day filled with anticipation as we set out to find the perfect outfits and gifts for ourselves and our loved ones.
Eid is a special occasion for Muslims all over the world. It is a time to celebrate the end of Ramadan and the start of a new month in the Islamic calendar. As a Muslim, I always look forward to Eid and the festivities that come with it. One of the most important aspects of Eid is dressing up in new clothes, so my family and I decided to go shopping for our Eid outfits together.
The planning for our shopping trip started a few weeks before Eid. My wife and I made a list of the outfits we wanted for ourselves and our families. We also decided on a budget so that we wouldn't overspend. As we were going to shop for four people, we knew it would be a bit of a challenge to find everything we wanted within our budget.
On the day of our shopping trip, we woke up early and got ready for the day. We planned to go to a few different stores in the city to find the perfect outfits. Our first stop was a mall, where we headed to a popular store that we knew would have a good selection. The store was packed with people, and it took us a while to find a spot to park our car.
As we walked into the store, we were immediately greeted by the vibrant colors of the Eid outfits on display. My wife and I headed to the women's section while my parents and sister went to the men's and children's section respectively. The store had a wide variety of outfits, ranging from traditional Pakistani and Indian clothes to more modern designs. It was a bit overwhelming, but we were excited to start browsing.
My wife and I started looking for outfits that would match each other's style. We decided to get matching outfits for ourselves for the Eid prayer. We wanted something traditional but not too flashy. After trying on a few different options, we finally found the perfect outfits. My wife's outfit was a beautiful blue and green salwar kameez, and mine was a beige and maroon shalwar kameez. We were both thrilled with our choices.
Meanwhile, my parents and sister were also having a good time browsing through the men's and children's sections. My father found a stylish kurta pajama, while my mother opted for a more traditional saree. My sister picked out a pretty frock for her daughter, who is just a few years old. It was heartwarming to see our family all together, enjoying the shopping experience.
After spending a few hours at the mall, we decided to head to another store that we had heard about. This store was known for its high-quality fabrics and elegant designs. As soon as we walked in, we could tell that this store was different from the previous one. The clothes were more expensive, but the quality was definitely worth it.
We split up again, and my wife and I headed to the women's section. This time, we were looking for something a little more upscale. My wife had her eye on a gorgeous silk saree, while I was interested in a custom-made sherwani. We worked with the salesperson to pick out the perfect fabric and design for my sherwani, and my wife found a beautiful saree that matched it perfectly.
My parents and sister were also having a good time browsing through the men's and children's sections. My father found a stylish kurta pajama, while my mother opted for a more traditional saree. My sister picked out a pretty frock for her daughter, who is just a few years old. It was heartwarming to see our family all together, enjoying the shopping experience.
By the end of the day, we had all found our perfect Eid outfits. It was a tiring day, but it was worth it. Hope you all like my friday shopping.
Fe fun to see the batman panties 🤭...I imagine ones like that .... thanks for taking us shopping.
!PIZZA 🍕
Well, I'm glad you enjoyed the shopping trip! But I have to admit, I don't actually own any Batman panties. Maybe I should add that to my shopping list for next time for whom who offered me pizza.. 😉 Thanks for the pizza though, it's making me hungry!
The pictures wouldn't download, so I never got to see the outfit. It is nice that you had a nice time all together as a family. I am sure the outfits looked lovely.
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world. Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday
