Transcript

My Arab mom hates my outfit so I have to change. Okay, my mom is having guests and she asked me to come over to help her clean. Not cook because she's the best cook ever. She told me to, uh, make sure that I dress a little modest, which I always do. So I wore this white tee. I got this from Aritzia and these loose linen pants. She told me that I have to change and wear one of her dresses. So let's see. Option one. This is option one. This is option two. I can't believe this is actually really cute. And I can't put my hair down because, you know, she's cooking and she just doesn't want hair in her cooking. So, um, all my mom's dresses. Option three, this is one of her jalabiyas, but it kind of looks like a PJ. This is the last one. I love this one. This is so cute. Okay, I think this is the winner. Let me know. I have to change. The guests are coming in like three hours. Bye guys.
