Hello my fashion lovers! Hope you guys are starting to soak up the fall weather (even though it's still 90 degrees in Florida), because I know I am. This outfit I think is a perfect way to get ready for the fall, because it has a few great combinations! To start off, the color of the dress! I just love it! It's a deep, but not dark purple because it's still a vibrant touch to it, that blends so well with the camel tan color of the combat boots. I honestly didn't like this dress at all, because I thought it was really boring, but when I matched a few things with it, I loved it! It has a flow to it, but not as much as high-low, giving it a "sweet&simple" tone to the outfit, and it's so much fun to spin in!
The scarf. Yes, it is the scarf, my favorite scarf. And I think we all can understand why at this point; it has so many great colors in it that's so flexible to match with a lot of outfits, and with this one, the purple and pink of the scarf really pop out. I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm almost always wearing something on top of a top, and this cardigan will probably be the least I will ever wear. I love it because of the cream-white color correlating with the cream-white of the scarf and lace pattern at the border and at the top, which just adds more to the "sweet" look As for my accessories, I added a gold-knotted head band, two pearl rings, and the nude studded bag (which again has gold in it). All three of these have the same tone and color of gold, making them work well together since they all give it that vintage but classy look.

Well I hope you all of you liked this week's outfit! I honestly think I liked it because of how much fun I had spinning in it :D
Don't forget, sharing is caring! Have a great week and dress well because life's too short to dress boring! :)

Jasmine Pants (Icing Claire's)

Plain Black Maxi (Old Navy)

Safety Pins (Walmart)

Hello my hijabi stylers!
Every girl has that one cardigan which her closet is not complete without. Well just like that cardigan (which I do in fact have that completes my closet), these three items are essential to my closet, especially as a hijabi. To start off, the plain black maxi. Why would you need something so plain, with not much to it? Because, you just do. You mine as well call this black maxi a transformer (shape shifter may be more appropriate) because it can go from being a regular maxi to a maxi dress! It's honestly buying two essentials (because yes every hijabi needs a maxi dress) in one, so for the price that I spent on it, which was around $30, it was worth it. You can go from putting a cardigan with a belt and a nice scarf, to putting a striped long sleeves shirt that's too short to wear as is but perfect length to make it look like a maxi skirt outfit without even buying (or making) a skirt. You can refer to my first outfit post to get an idea of the shape-shifting maxi dress!
My next essential, which is extremely important yet the cheapest, are safety pins. In order for me to wrap my scarf the way I like to, to get the proper coverage and good "volume" (yes, scarves need volume too), I need four safety pins. It may seem like a lot, but in the future when you see how I wear my scarf (yay hijab tutorial!) then you'll understand why four are necessary.
I've just realized how essential this is to my closet because I recently got them, but my last basic essential to my closet is jasmine pants. There are other words for it in other languages, but to be safe with spelling and proper labeling, we're just going to call them jasmine pants. You know when you go to the mall and you see a shirt which is so cute and you already thought of a scarf that matches it and everything!..but then you  realize that it just may be too short. Well not to worry, jasmine pants are here to the rescue! Because of their loose fit from the top to bottom, it does not show your shape so it makes making a little shorter shirts easier. And because they have pleats/folds they still give some sort of shape to the pants, just not a fitting one. Also, once you realize how comfortable these pants are (really feels like you're wearing pajamas), you'll want to wear them on regular tops like high-lows, which surprisingly enough, still make a pretty cute outfit.

So what essentials do you have in your closet? Share and comment and let me know if there's more than just these essentials I need in my closet (because trust me, I don't mind shopping for more clothes)! :)


~Dress well and with style, because life is too short not to~

Along with starting this blog,I also started posting my on instagram with #myoutfitsmonday as the hashtag. My first outfit consists of something you'll see has become a habit of mine, and that is "pattern blocking" (yes, like color blocking but with the word pattern). Cheetah print and stripes is one of my favorite combos along with floral print and stripes. The black bottom "maxi skirt" is actually just a maxi dress with a shirt put on top. It's kind of like buying two things at once when I thought of this because now I don't need to worry about getting a black maxi skirt! The purse is one my favorites (which you may also see frequently, because of this classy yet vintage touch it gives to the whole outfit.
This is the first of many more outfits to come, enjoy!:)
