Hey, we are staying appropirate here okay. But that Florida sun isn't being shy and is coming out strong and as a hijabi you need to figure out some way to work with it. Usually when it gets hot, people prefer taking their clothes off...well you shouldn't. Instead do what we do and wear something flowy and breezy, because when it's fitting it gives you no air circulation, that's when you really feel hot! This is one of my all time favorite tops because first off it's long sleeves so nothing to worry about there; but the material is a light jersey type that allows for some type of structure to it but is very comfortable and "breathable" as some people say. The cardigan, well it's extremely light and more so just adds more to the outfit. Sometimes I forget I'm wearing it because of how light it is. Jeans...I can't or well I can but really prefer not to wear jeans in this type of weather (so stay tuned for some other pantaloon ideas you can wear when it's blazing hot), so I grabbed my leggings. Once again, they have the "breathable" effect and are just lighter to wear compared to jeans. And yes you guys will be seeing these gladiators a lot this summer but you know I had to wear them. You can throw on any scarf that matches for this outfit, but the cheetah print with the maroon was just what I was feeling today you know what I'm saying. Well, whatever it is you're doing this summer, I hope you're enjoying it (even if it's taking summer classes)! Stay tuned for some more summer fun outfits and of course Ramadhan is around the corner so you know what that means...I'll have a date every night (yes, my fiance knows how terrible my jokes are)!

His "don't mess with my sister" look

"This dress makes me happy" said my sister-in-law when she saw me in this super colorful and bright dress. This dress is perfect to start the summer off with because it's not only so colorful and has that "fun-in-the-sun" look but it is also very comfortable. I think my favorite part of the maxi was that it was under ten dollars :D As for the jean shirt, I usually fold it to make the rest of the maxi look like a maxi skirt, but I just wanted to be as comfortable (and cute) as possible so I turned into a cardigan and buttoned it down half way so it's not so restricting and tied a belt to just add a little structure. Oh, the bag! How much do you love this bag? Because I just love it! It's that fun bag yet very chic with the touches of gold. Oh, and well it's Florida and summer time so you can imagine the heat, so I just decided to loosely wrap my scarf, but it still does what it needs to and lets a little more air pass by! Hope you guys are looking forward to the rest of my summer outfits!

The uncalled for pictures

Don't you love it when it seems like you put so much effort into your outfit when all you really did was match some colors and put some shoes on? I love those days. Just as much as I love this shirt. See, there was a time when Old Navy sold 6 different types of these shirts...I bought all six kind and with no regret either! They are all super light and comfortable, with the chiffon material and oh my gosh do you see how hijabi they are?? It's spring, and so I thought to bring out some color! And I really want to go to the beach, but the shirt is the most blue I'll see for some time. I wasn't sure about the jeans, and was thinking to play safe and wear my black skinnies, but the more color the better! And the shades of red in the scarf and the jeans match perfectly...sigh love when that happens :)
Well you guys hope you love this outfit and are also dressing spring-y (I make up my own words sometimes)! Also, I know exams are coming up (well for college students) so good luck to all of you and remember, dress cute on exam days (as weird as that sounds)!








Omg where did you get that!?
Shirt: Old Navy
Scarf: Cotton On
Jeans: Charlotte Russe
Flip-flops: Africa

I feel like when people see me in this outfit they think I'm getting really dressed up, but in all honesty, this is one of my most comfortable winter outfits. The shirt has the elegant, "girly" look to it, but then put on the jacket, and bam! Instant "edginess" :D Simple, super cute, comfortable...this outfit has all of it. And yeah it's not cold enough for these boots but I mean it's already December, about time I bring them out.










Hope you guys are enjoying your winters wherever you are and I'll keep you posted as to how I style my winter :)

When I was younger, my mom never liked my hair flying in my face, so she'd take one of those plastic black headbands with the teeth inside and push my hair back. Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of headbands then...but now, I love them! A hijabi can use headbands just as much as anyone else in fact. And of course, there are plenty of other hair accessories that hijabis can use such as flower and bow pins, but headbands just happens to be my favorite because they can be seen on both sides of the scarf, and are easy and comfortable to put in. These are actually a few that I bought recently, all on sale might I add (the one on the left that's vertical was a dollar :D). You can use headbands to dress up an outfit or for a formal event and it could be your added jewelry since wearing earrings would be pointless. Or you can just wear them with an outfit to school, but they wouldn't be as "fancy," for instance the two double braided orange and beige headbands. And there are some headbands that can go both ways, like the pearl headband. Since they are small beads, They work great to add the perfect touch to an outfit. Personally, because of the way I way my scarf, I don't where long necklaces anymore (or as much), because you wouldn't be able to see it, so the headbands make up for it.
Well, anyway I hope you enjoyed today's rather random blog, but just wanted to share how useful headbands can be and how they're even better when you buy them on sale :D
