Today my Mongolian tour guide (really our driver Erka) took us to try on the traditional Mongolian costume, called a deel. They were beautiful. The Mongolian new year is almost here and everyone will be wearing one. I am trying to decide do I like red or blue better. Alex will not try one on. He insists it is a dress! But they are required to be worn at his school during the week of the new year... this could get interesting.
My hat had a cool blue silk top thing. I was hoping you could see it better in this shot. I love how the try on belt was a lovely shocking yellow/green color. I learned to two things about deels. First they are uncomfortably warm to wear inside, and secondly they are NOT slimming. Oh well, with those two things in mind, I still would love to get one.

Get one!!!
you look beautiful in them!!! And the hat is amazing!!!
I love the blue one!!
We vote blue...which is surprising for this red family
The blue looks really good on you; then the blue top on the hat with the red looks good, too! Tough decision!
i vote both.
Blue. Definitely blue. And, maybe you've heard this one already but...do you know how to say "magic" in Mongolian? Makes me giggle.
Don't freeze to death. Miss you!
