Work Wear Part 1
Assalamwalikum all! We're moving on to clothes (for the time being- will be back to complete the story of my "reversion" later....) So ladies (and gents, im equally interested to know what issues brothers may have when it comes to attire), what do you wear for WORK? I've tried to inspire readers to share their hijab styles, enouraged London hijabis especially and even offered an incentive (free hijabs!!) but you're all either too shy or dont care! C'mon ladies!! (and gents).
In this commercial, capitalist world, we Muslims and Muslimahs are having to go out to work........so what do we wear that is both suitable for the office and also modest? I used to have a hard time with shirts worn with trousers in particular (as they were all too short!!). Here's a nice combo for now (long skirts are life savers!) and I'll be posting more on this soon.
I'd like to point out correct that Islamic dress is full abaya/jilbab as well as hijab. For those who dont wear abaya/jilbab (like myself, but are working towards it inshallah) this is useful to bridge the gap. I strongly encourage all sisters to work actively towards full correct Islamic dress as its fardh and inshallah Im with you on that too! walikumasalam :-)

Hijabs High
Assalamwalikum all!
I know, I know...some weeks I barely post anything and other weeks I post several things in one go! Although I'm busy with work (life in the City is always a mad constantly-on-the-go rush) I just had to take time out to let you know about an excellent new site called Hijabs High. The concept of the site is simple yet briliant- photographs of everyday Muslimahs from around the globe wearing their hijabs with pride. Mashallah the sisters are inspiring and I love seeing how other sisters wear their hijabs for work and for play.
If I wasn't so keen on remaining anonymous I would post pictures of myself in my work suits & hijab here...Alhumdulillah that isn't such a rare sight these days but still in the City there are few Muslimahs who wear hijab at work. Perhaps I just haven't met any yet! If there are other sisters out there like me, let me know! And if you're not shy I'll post your picture online!

Abayas with a French Twist
Salams and hello to all!
I've just discovered a wonderfully stylish line of Shaylas and Abayas called Arabesque who describe their products as "Sheilas and Abaya with a French touch". I've included some pics for you all to draw inspiration from - enjoy!
This is my favourite- floral and feminine- who said Abayas always have to be boring black? For special occasions try this sewing some lace to the edge of your abayas
