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.

Nautical Summer



Nautical Summer

Nautical Summer by Rae Gregory featuring embroidered pants







This would be great for warm weather! The pants are a loose fit and won't require anything worn underneath. I would recommend purchasing the two shirts one size bigger than your usual as these stores do tend to run small. I think layering the fun yellow tank over the navy striped shirt is a great colorful look. Create a high waist with the bow belt over both shirts! This outfit would look cool topped off with a lightweight red hijab or scarf to complete the primary color theme. Accessorize with nautical jewelry! This outfit will help you avoid overheating while staying modest and looking cute! I chose red sandals however tan sandals that match the belt would look great too.. or navy flats of some kind for sisters who do not show any foot. Sisters who do not wear pants could wear this look with a long khaki skirt. I can see this outfit being worn walking on the beach, to an amusement park, to the park or a cookout! Definitely a summer look.


Edit: As I looked back at this outfit I questioned the appropriatness. I think that while in picture it may not look hijab if bought and worn in oversize as intended it is still okay. Also keep in mind the picture of the pants is small. I have actually seen them in the store and they seem much larger and wider legged. Allah knows best.

Shades of gray


Shades of gray

Shades of gray by Rae Gregory featuring sheer scarves




This is a slightly cozier outfit. I think it would be a great choice to wear on one of those still cool days, or maybe on a rainy day or perhaps to a chilly movie theater. I'm in love with the scaf shown however due to it's thin material it will require an underscarf of some kind. I think white or black would go nicely. I'm also really crazy about the popular owl theme that's been going on this season so I'm pretty excited to make a set including accesories that feature them! A few of these pieces are from a really cool new website I just found called modcloth. It's NOT modest clothing but you can still find some good stuff if you keep your eyes peeled. :]
