Sometimes we all just want to be that vibrant, "wow-that's-a-bright-color" one in the bunch. Because it's summer, and I'm going color crazy, I picked up this cardigan (and on sale too!) and played with it until it found its right match, and let me tell you, do they work together or what. When I said a cobalt blue maxi should be considered an essential, I meant it. This color works with almost anything that can work with black and probably dress it up more (or at least brighten it for that matter). So if you haven't bought yours yet, go buy one! Of course the only purse that would wrap up with it well is this one that you have become so well acquainted with. Also, I added the brown belt just to kind of balance the bright colors ( similar to the bag's effect on the outfit), so when in doubt if you're outfit seems like too much color or they're off balance, try adding a brown (camel color if possible) belt! Well, hope you guys love this rather vibrant outfit for the summer and of course all those mosque nights that are still yet to come! Keep up the #myramadhanootn :)

To all my American and non-American friends, Happy 4th of July! I think the color scheme for this outfit is pretty explanatory. But one item of this outfit that I'd like to point out is the scarf! It's my American flag scarf and probably one of favorite scarves to buy because I mean what hijabi (who lives in America) wouldn't want one :D Hope you guys love this holiday fun outfit and hope you're decking out in red,white,and blue too!

This outfit just sums up the color blocking and pattern blocking to tee so not much explaining is necessary (I think I almost rhymed there:D), but this week I decided to show the people behind stylebyfj! These girls aren't the only ones that I've helped me get to where I am, but they've done more than I can ask for and I'm always so happy and blessed when I realize that I have them to go back to for anything. Both are extremely talented themselves in make up and hair, two departments which I have very little talent in. They're basically my left and right wing, but sh they don't need to know I love them that much. Well, hope you guys loved this week's outfit!

Always love these angles!

I know I know...it's Tuesday and I'm late again, but I really do have a valid reason! I've had some things going on with family for the past few days, but you'll be happy to hear things are getting better. So when I was trying to decide what to blog for this week, I was honestly stuck. What was happening was kind of putting me down and made me go blank. But then I thought about this one! I've actually had this outfit in mind for quite some time, and this seemed like the perfect time to show it because it's a fun, cheerful, " in a happy mood" outfit, and just what I needed to dress myself in. I love first the coral color because it's not too strong (too bright for me then), but still bright enough and the chiffon material of the dress just adds a nice touch of elegance to it. And the scarf and the dress were honestly meant to be like PB&J because they match so perfectly! And how can I not pattern block ;D The cheetah is the "fun" part of the outfit, or so I'd like to call it that. Any who, I hope you liked the outfit as much as I did and just know that when you're feeling kind of out of it, don't wear jeans and cardigan because it fits the mood, but put something cheerful on because it fits what you want to feel! :) Hope you guys have a good rest of the week!

How I really feel about school starting

Also, a friend asked me if I could share where I got my clothes and I've actually been meaning to do it for each outfit, but well I forget hehe.

For this week's outfit:

• skinny jeans are from Charlotte Russe, 
• polk-a-dot top is from Old Navy, 
• scarf is from H&M, 
• flats are from Macy's

If I'm not going to pattern-block, I'm definitely going to try color-blocking! And this week's outfit was just that. It was a rather simple process to be honest, because the main part of this outfit was of course the scarf. It had such a variety of colors that makes it easy to match and patch (I just said that to rhyme honestly) the outfit together. The main color that I pulled and tied together from the scarf is the bright magenta pink and tied with the soft but bright purple. Then, just to bring the orange of the scarf pop a little more, I wore the vibrant orange and sand tan bag which I love, because it just stands out so much! The amount of color in this scarf is more than enough and with the heavy (or packed you could say) Aztec print of the scarf, adds enough pattern to this type of outfit. A little less explanation than usual, but just trying to make it sweet and simple! Hope you guys enjoyed! :)

It's Monday, so you know what that means...today's "My Outfits Monday!" :D I hope I'm not the only this excited, because then that would be awkward...
Okay let's start talking about this week's outfit! You may be telling yourself that this outfit looks quite familiar. And it actually is. The striped shirt on top of the maxi is from the first outfit I posted, but this time I changed the patterns that I "blocked" together and changed the style of the purse. I've been quite crazy about aztec print for quite a while and have actually had my eye on this scarf for some time as well; thanks to a friend of mine and her "sixth sense" of just seeing a scarf and knowing I'd like it, I finally got it! And so I thought, hey I'll do this week's outfit with it!
Now in the beginning, I wasn't sure if these two prints would work together because I thought aztec had lines that looked similar to stripes, but really they are more zig-zags, triangles, and diamonds all meshed into a rather different, not so subtle (but not too loud) pattern that mixes great with stripes (I just love stripes, they work with everything). What I love most about this outfit and why I feel it would be appropriate for the summer (and since it's almost over unfortunately) is because it's simple yet has the perfect pop of color with the bright orange bringing the orange of the scarf and the bag together and basically putting the "icing on top of the cake" when it comes to this outfit. I was given this bag as a gift as well and at first I had no idea how I was going to use it, but this scarf is just one of the many things it actually matches with and I feel it's the perfect accessory when you want to go simple yet stand out.

Hope you guys liked this week's outfit! Let me know what you think and feel free to share the idea! :)
Also, comment on what you think about doing cheetah print with Aztec. I'm a little confused and would love for some input:)
