Mall Finds...work in progress


I came across this dress in Sears for US$19.99, I thought the pastel colors were so pretty. The scarves I found in Wet Seal for US$3.00 each on sale. I need a long sleeved cardigan and cute shoes to complete the look.

I saw this downloadable pattern online at sewingpatterns.com , the style in blue looks like it could be customized as a sporty jilbab. Its $5.99 US for download here . The other styles look cozy and can be worn around the home.

Don't diss the trying muhajabah !


Some Muslim women (and some men too) have the tendency to criticize sisters for how they wear hijab, for them not fully covering, even for not covering their feet. Many women are simply not ready for hijab, they have accepted Islam but they are not ready to take the next step. They may take baby steps, wearing a small scarf every now and then, wearing a long blouse over jeans, but are not ready to take the plunge into being a full time muhajabah. This may take time, as everyone is different, it may even take some sisters YEARS to wear hijab full-time.

For the rest of the post please see my other blog Jamaican Muslimah

A Splash of Orange

Pretty blue and orange dress from al-anwarfashion.com, blue sandals from paylessshoesource.com. I like the colour orange in moderation, I was thinking of adding orange shoes to the set, but it seemed too much :)
