The maxi skirt is a hijabi wardrobe staple, especially in the summer. Here's how you could work the look in the evening.. just add a scarf:

A Take On The Egyptian Hijab

Somebody a while back asked me to do a tutorial on the infamous Egyptian wrap. I'm not hot on it because it doesn't cover the neck and ears fully even with a polo neck. So I have adapted the look a bit so that it fulfills the requirements of hijab but still involves, well, a lot of wrapping.. Hope you like. Sorry the photos aren't great, I took them on my webcam:

Here's the finished look:

Tutorial:

Put one scarf on your head with one end longer than the other as per usual..

Tie the scarf in a knot at one side of your neck..

Put the second scarf over the top with the long part on the same side as the short part of the first scarf and vice versa. Tie in the same way on the opposite side of the neck..

..so you get something that looks like this..

Next, take the first scarf and wrap it back over the second..

..all the way around. You can pin to keep it in place..

Now take the second scarf and wrap it the same way you did the first..

..to get this..

Finally, take the first scarf like so..

Fold it back and pin it in place..

Voila! You should get something that looks like this:

*TIPS*

- Use thin but not netted or really see through scarves together

- Don't do more that two layers, it's overkill.

- Try out different colours but keep it simple. It would be too much, for example, if you used patterned scarves.

(Sorry for lack of face..!)

Nursing Jilbabs

I haven't posted for a long time ,since I became Mom and been very busy with my little one..
Now there is something that I'm concerned about as a mother ,which is ,where to find Nursing Jilbabs ,that can be practical ,easy and fast to open and in nice colors.
I did some reasearch in online Islamic stores and I would like to share what I found with other sisters who are breastfeeding and also looking for Nursing Jilbabs ..

1.http://al-mujalbaba.com

This is my first finding and my most favorite jilbabs ,because there are many beautiful colors to choose from including light blue ,khaki ,royal blue ,purple and more ..The Jilbabs are plain ,with no design on them ,that's exactly what I like about my clothing ,so it is perfect choice for me ..
Jilbab has a zipper and is made of peachskin fabric ,that is very practical and doesnt need much ironing.

This store also has varities of Hijabs in different colors and also Hijabs and Niqab matching sets in beautiful colors

2.Sunnahstyle.com

For the sisters who like larger style of abaya or jilbab ,these are excellent for Nursing .

These abayas have a zipper on the front and are very large and made of good quality lightwigt fabric ..

There are only two colors :black or navy blue
