I think the most notable thing about this outfit is the sweetness of it. It's a very cute and innocent look. I think it would be great for class, a job interview maybe, or even a casual date or outing. The pink peter pan collared top is modest enough that it shouldn't require any over or under layers. I would recommend buying up a size though to make sure it doesn't come too tight. I'd recommend the same for the navy pants.. though they are wide legged so they shouldn't be too very problematic. It's really hard for me to pick my favorite part but if I had to it would be the shoes! Definitely give those a click and check those out in a larger picture! They are very sweet mary jane style flats with a tiny navy floral print. They lace up with old fashioned retro strings.. too cute. The scarf is also great! I love the detail around the edge. Open up and add some color to your lovely eyes with a dash of navy mascra and finish off with polished accesories. For jewelry I would recommend real or faux pearls. There is nothing more classic, sweet or feminine than pearls. I like the pearl necklace shown because you tie it around your neck with it's ribbon ends making a lovely bow! Finally perhaps a pearl hijab brooch or pin at most.

Today..


This is what I wore today. You can't tell but it was a loose black skirt worn with it. My hijab, the floral pink scarf is from American Eagle. They often have lovely scarves.. one of my favorite stores. The white undershirt is from comfortteez. I often put their long sleeved shirts in my designs as the bottom layer. You can find the link to their site in most of my designs and previous posts. I really like them because the shirts are sooo comfy. They are a really soft material. They also hold up very well. I have some years old still in very good condition. They are a company that specifically has modesty in mind. They have tank tops and cami's that are extra long and high necked. They are made this way so that they are perfect to wear under a long sleeved shirt or dress that happens to have a neck that shows too much.. as so many do. Definitely check them out.  My blue blouse is from Target and is was very cheap! My black skirt is a thousand years old and I'm sure you would be able o find something like it anywhere. My white underscarf is pretty much the same story. :]

I think that girls should be less afraid to mix colors! Just because your shirt is blue and white doesn't mean your hijab has to be so! I love to see when girls mix things up. I'm a big fan of creativity. Kinda like the Nautical post a few days ago. I don't think many girls would mix that many colors and would have instead chose to wear a white or navy.. maybe yellow at best hijab. There's nothing wrong with simpler looks and color schemes but there's nothing wrong with having fun and tossing in a surprising color once in a while.
