Drink stand in Lombok


From Ramadan Sky:

I have seen women wearing beautiful headscarves in other countries, but here most of them are a cross between a nun’s habit and a baseball cap. They are hideously peaked and righteously functional and I hate them. I hate the frilly do-up-to-the-chin shirts. I hate the complete lack of sensuality that the women here are forced to display.

Some Muslim women in Indonesia manage to look very stylish in spite of the dress code.  This is the most striking outfit that I saw in Indonesia in the two years that I lived there. ..
