I think that this outfit would be ideal for an office, professional or classroom setting. The pants fit looseley and the material seems to flow. They are modestly widelegged. I would wear the silver tank top underneath the blue blouse. I think it would be really cute to unbutton the blouse's first few buttons so that the ruffles could be seen. Obviously you would still wear your hijab low enough that no skin would show. I think a navy scarf to match the pants would be great. I love the silver flats! I think that they are very pretty and add some color contrast to the outfit. Finish off with some cute blue and silver accessories and you're good and lovely to go! I chose the navy and silver bow ring and the long necklace of different shades to pull all the colors together.

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.
