Yes I took this with a selfie stick!

 Man can Florida get hot. It was so hot at the picnic yesterday, my face kind of felt like it was burning. But, hey who wouldn't come to visit here during the summer especially with all our amazing theme parks :D





          HI guys. I know I went MIA on the outfit posting for a few weeks, but I told you I'd be back! I guess I can call this outfit a classic "me" outfit because it consists a few things: 1) long and flowy, 2) a kimono (or komodo dragon as my fiancé calls it), and 3) floral print. I wore this outfit for our multi-mosque Eid picnic (which was very nice actually), because it's really light (material wise) and comfortable and it was long enough where I could wear leggings underneath instead of jeans or pants (because I honestly don't know how people do that in this weather).
But since it was for Eid, I dressed it up with a long chained necklace that I honestly haven't worn since probably high school. I think because my scarf style changed, I forgot how to wear the long necklaces. But since the high-low maxi is loose, I was able to throw it on and add a little fancy shmancy to the outfit. Of course I always have my rings...I love rings. With the komodo dragon having...oops, I mean kimono! Thanks irfan *squinty eyes to the side emoji*! The kimono has both the emerald forest green and salmon pink on it allowing for the scarf to flow well with the high-low maxi dress. Very simple outfit, even you could put something like this together! Well hope you guys loved the outfit and are having a fun-in-the-sun (or shade preferably) summer!

So guys...I just might've bought another kimono. Okay no yeah I did buy another one. But okay, first off it was on sale and secondly look how cute it is! It's a different style from what I have, and it was floral *insert emoji with heart eyes*. I bought it without thinking what I could wear underneath or what scarf I could wear. There's only so many colors you can wear with this such as white, light blue, magenta, and different assortments of purple. I thought I was stuck because I had tried a white tunic underneath but it wasn't giving me the look I wanted. But then...of course as purple always does, it saved the day! And I totally forgot about this scarf color that I had, it's actually quite vibrant which is different from what I normally wear but it's good to venture out when it comes to scarf colors. Simply threw it all together and bam! You know you like it, even if it's basically another kimono outfit!

Well for all those taking exams still, oh how much I don't want to be you...but good luck, you are almost done! And for all those done, wooooo we're done!!....well until summer classes!
It's summer time, so it's time for cute #ootds so don't forget to dress it up because life's too short to dress boring!

It's the "I have a dream" look

Whether African-American or not, whether American or not, everyone is familiar with that quote said by none other than Martin Luther King (by the way you guys are in for a good read :D). Yeah sometimes we joke around and say "I have a dream that school will end and summer will come," but today's outfit is inspired by the dream in your heart and following through with it. Everyone has a dream, everyone wants something and it's kept, as cheesy as it sounds, in everyone's heart. So if you have a broken heart, mend it. If you have a lost heart, focus and find what you're looking for. If you fear that when you say  "I have a dream to do what's in my heart" won't come true, kill that fear and just follow what's in there and you'll get there. DREAM BIG. And NEVER I mean NEVER think you can't achieve that dream. Well that's my motivational rant for the week!
 But as every outfit comes with a story, this week I decided wearing this loose-fit flowy heart covered shirt and pattern blocking with one of my favorite floral scarves that I haven't worn for quite some time. Now let's time talk about this new item in the closet committee...first off, that maxi dress was too cheap not to buy; I'm enjoying how though it's like a maxi, the slits let you add a dash of color. A part of me was not sure if I should do boots or gladiators since it is a maxi but the slits let you work with either.

Well whether it was the motivational rant or the outfit or even both, I hope you enjoyed this week's post and dressing it up because life's too short to dress boring!

For the next few months, you'll just be hearing (or reading) me go on about how much I love this weather because for us Floridians, when it gets 60 degrees...we bring out our cup of hot cocoa and tell ourselves that we need to have pumpkin spice lattes (when we all know that we really don't because it's still not cold enough).

Okay, onto the outfit! Today's outfit is actually a favorite of mine because of how easy it is to put together but also because of how vibrant it is yet still staying with the fall theme. I guess we can say we're getting into "sweater weather" and I actually don't wear this one too often but I bring it out with this outfit because it blends so well with the colors of the floral scarf and adds a pop to the gray and white chiffon polk-a-dot shirt. Because of the length of the shirt and sweater (or long cardigan as some call it), I topped the outfit off with my boots of course but you could certainly do flats or even converse or those vans styled shoes ( I don't know the proper terminology so vans styled is what I'm going with). Well I hope you guys have a lovely week enjoying this weather and everything about it from the cute outfits, the cute instagram pictures we take of our lattes, oh and not to mention the cute stylebyfj posts that'll be coming up :D

Seasonal changes make you get more creative with your blog titles I tell you. Well last week I had blogged an outfit to cool off the summer so we can get warm for the fall. This warm isn't a going-to-actually-be-90-degrees-warm, but that warm weather that makes you want to create these color mixes and get pumpkin cream cheese on your bagel. I love my warm colors especially these two (plus a vibrant maroon)because they are so much fun to work with during this time of the year; they suit the season so well, and of course they look really good with combat boots (probably 98% of the reason as to why I like these colors). Of course I easily tied the colors with a scarf that had both in it. Now, I've never really had any sort of brown/ dark mocha based scarf but the pattern on this one was so pretty (and of course floral), I had to pick it up. Honestly with outfits like these, you have to trust yourself that the color blocking is appropriate and fits or should I say falls well together ;D You guys know how excited I get for fall outfit, except the 80 degree weather that just throws everything off...well, hope you guys loved this weeks outfit and are looking forward to what's to fall-ow (*follow...hehe get it)!

Hi guys! :) How's your day been so far, if you're reading this later in the week, how's your week been? I'm in quite a good mood and why not, it's Monday! I should probably do my positivity challenge right now...but I'll do it later (more like in a week).


So I was debating as to what theme I should set for this week's outfit. Because it's mid-September and they're advertising pumpkin everywhere (I mean have you seen Dunkin Donut's advertisement) so I wanted to start the fall theme, but you know living in Florida can hold you back from that. So I decided to have this outfit show that now it's time to sizzle down and cool off into the fall outfits; but of course if I bounce back to a summer outfit it's probably because it is so hot that week and wearing sued
e boots and a leather jacket just won't work. So in order to cool off, I color blocked some chilled colors that are my personal favorites, a vibrant, frosty mint and refreshing cobalt blue (get that color in your closet if it's not there yet!). What I love about these outfits is that if I want to mix colors such as this together, all I need to do is look for a scarf with those colors in it and it just wraps it all together. Gosh I just love scarves (especially my floral ones), they just complete my outfits (yes, I know I'm a hijabi so it should). And I added the braided belt just because I like to neutralize all the colors mixing together.

Well I hope you guys loved this rather easy and cute outfit and get excited for the fall outfits, because I know I am!

You know why I bought these? One, because they were on sale (of course) and two, because look at this print! How could you not buy something with this kind of floral print!? Well anyway, everyone needs something like this in their closet, because when they're feeling lazy, they can just put a plain top on and still have it dressed up! But of course, when buying them, think about your closet! Think about what tops you can work with and what you can pattern block with it and they'll make it so worth your buy. Well this weeks was sweet, simple, but of course stylish;) Have a good rest of the week and don't forget to dress it up because life's too short not to!

You guys...there's a week of Ramadhan left. Am I the only one that is processing that Ramadhan like..JUST started? *sigh* I hate when it flies by so fast. But, moving on, today's outfit is quite pink! And I honestly never thought I'd see myself in something so "girly" as I first thought it was, but this is one of my favorite maxis because it's ombre! And of course, I scarf searched and was looking for a scarf to match and at the time of putting this outfit together, this floral scarf was my favorite and just happened to match with everything, including this! So I worked with the colors and put a good length gray cardigan on top. As for accessories, the nude bag with studs was the perfect match (and you know how I love my studs to add some edge), a few pearl rings and a cute bracelet that yes has a butterfly on it (I surprisingly did not choose this bracelet....my brother did).

I feel like Uncle Sam...but hey it's your turn!

So you guys have seen my Ramadhan style and I've seen a few yours through your #myramadhanootn posts, which I've loved but it's towards the end of Ramadhan, and that can only mean one thing...eid outfits! I can't wait to show you guys what I'm wearing (yes, I've already thought about it), but more than anything I want to see what you guys are wearing! And since I figured I'd love it so much, I would want to blog about it! So give me a chance to feature my last Ramadhan Eid post on your outfits and send me your pictures by e-mailing me at fjaffer10@gmail.com. I'm so excited to see what you guys have in mind!

Um....yeah. #lolz

It's that time of the year! One of the most joyful, if you ask me. Ramadhan Mubarak to all my Muslim and non-Muslim friends all over ( you know, since I'm assuming we're all friends even if it isn't facebook official). Before I continue, for those that aren't familiar with what Ramadhan is, it is the time of year that Muslims fast (don't eat or drink from dawn to dusk) for 30 days and invest more time in ourselves (spirituality wise) by reading Qur'an, going to mosque, and praying more often. I look at it as a spiritual cleansing that you get to do with your family and friends and I absolutely love it. So for the following weeks, my outfits will be based on what you could wear to mosque and in return I hope to see what you guys are wearing to mosque too! So whenever you find yourself wearing a cute outfit to mosque, facebook/instagram/twitter it with the hashtag #myramadhanootn :)
So this outfit, oh this outfit. I first saw this dress and like the last item I blogged, didn't know if i could work it, but I fell in love with the floral

print and how elegant it was so of course I bought it :D The dress gives a good amount of colors to work with from pink, coral, beige, cream, to even mocha. Of course for jewelry and accessories, I just jazzed it up with my watch, pearl rings, and my studded nude pink bag, because who doesn't love a little studness (probably not a real word) here and there! And as for foot wear, I of course put on my new favorite pair of gladiators (that you know actually make me feel like a gladiator, not going to lie). Well this is the first of Ramadhan OOTNs and I hope you're looking forward to more and I can't wait to see yours! :)

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!

Since it's almost November and I can still drink a slurpee from 7-11, why not just put a leather jacket on a maxi...YOLO.
This is my kind of edgy outfit that still maintains "girly" status with pattern-block of cheetah and floral. I could've made this outfit really bold and pop, but I'm saving that combination for later (in the mean time enjoy the suspense). The maxi is the soft cotton material that has just the right flowiness, that makes you ready for the beach (without the jacket of course). The scarf is essential (not only because I need to wear one), because it adds the color to the outfit with splashes of red and blue flowers, and of course the patterns correlate in their style, mixing well together. And to top it, the purse just gives the outfit the touch of a "classy" look to it.

Hope you guys enjoyed this smash of two season outfit combo! I'll be taking a two week break from posting, but I have great ideas for you guys to look forward to!

I wish Florida had a thermostat, and I could just dial it down oh, I don't know maybe 20 degrees or so. I'm ready fall, but I need this state to catch up!
Anyway my fashion lovers, this outfit consists of a classic pattern-block of cheetah and floral! And I think it's easier to see how the combo of denim, forest green, and cheetah work together because I posted one like it a few weeks ago. Love the outfit because the dress has floral print all over making the patterns "block" more I suppose you could say. And of course, the boots. Yes I know, I know. You see them too often, but I mean how else could you picture this outfit! The boots give just the perfect edge and bring all the colors together. Hope you look forward to more outfits with them, because I'm just getting started! :D

Hello fellow fashionable folks (pretty good alliteration if I must say)! Today's outfit is one of my favorites. Not only because of the green skinny jeans but also because this scarf of all the scarves in my collection, is my favorite. Can we just have a moment to appreciate how lovely this floral scarf is *taking a moment of appreciation*. Okay, but all jokes aside, I do really like this outfit because it is just great for hijabis! This shirt is from Old Navy and is so amazing because it's one, a high-low, two perfect length, and three, just a cute shirt that when put on makes any outfit stylish. By the way, there were six different styles of this shirt...and I got all six. And I'm so glad I did because it makes having style and being a hijabi so easy if you ask me (I'll do a post venturing into this little collection). What pulls this outfit together really well is just how all the colors work. The green jeans set apart from the black part of the shirt yet mix so well with the cream-white bow flats and then of course ties together with the scarf because of the greens. Another thing I like about the jeans is that they're not skin tight skinny jeans. They're fitting, but have just the right amount of looseness. The purse, I know you've seen it before and it may just be something you'll have to get used to seeing because it's "that" bag which works with a lot of outfits and adds the right touch of vintage and classiness. Moving along...I know hijabis come across seeing others put pins or headbands in their scarf (which are great accessories for a scarf!), but those aren't the only two things which can be added on your scarf! Yes, the braided double band is actually a belt! In order to do this, you need a belt that is not stiff and rather flexible (I guess you could say) and is able to bend around your head comfortably. It's not hard at all to put on actually and looks really cute on the right outfit.

 I hope with my ideas you guys can get creative in your closet and come out with some cute styles! Please share and comment, let me know what you think or any other ideas you guys have! :)
