HFW: Day 6 Date Night *a week later*


Salaams and Saluations,

Sorry for the delay but here I go...

Date night....Well since I am no longer married this would be for a sit down. I like to keep things simple but want my personality to come through. I'm really in to accessories now so I included a heart necklace and multi colored bangles from The Souq. The hijab is from LaDecence, I really like it because it incorporates so many colors.

This overgarment is another one from Tawanda Mackey over at Overgarments (dot)com. This garment is A lined and has elastic sleeves. I can wear it year round and that's what I love about it.

What do you wear out with your zawj? What would you wear on a sit down or chaperoned event? Check out the ladies from HFW here.




















Day 1 -- Leaders in Hijab: what leadership roles do you have or want to try? (President, teacher, mother, Volunteer Leader, CEO etc.).
Day 2 -- Hobby/Recreation: What do you do when you have free time? (hike, sail, write, paint, etc.)
Day 3 -- Break the Rules: A stylish hijabi can look good in anything, even when she's breaking the rules! Pick a fashion/style rule you always follow, and show us how you'd break it in style! (Any style rule may be broken, except the Islamic criteria for hijab).
Day 4 -- Vacation/Destination: Where would you go, if you could go anywhere in the world? What outfits would you wear?
Day 5 -- Eid & Formal: It's Friday! Dress up! What did you wear for Eid? What do you wear to formal events/parties?
Day 6 -- Date Night: Yesterday you dressed up for you, today dress up for your man! What do you wear when going out with your (future) husband?
Day 7 -- Out with Friends: Finish off the week by hanging out with friends! Where do you usually go? What do you usually do?

HFW: Day 5 Eid



Today we showcase EID. Both EIDs for me were really great. Lots of family time and seeing people you don't normally see on a day to day basis. I even got henna for the 2nd EID.






This abaya was made buy Tawanda Mackey from fabric I picked up in Philly over the summer. It is a 3/4 length and I wear it with a cardigan. The Hijab is a pink drape scarf from Pearl Daisy. The headband was from Forever 21.

HFW: Day 3 Breaking the Rules


Salaams and Salutations,

Breaking all the rules?? Hmmm well here we mean FASHION RULES. Poka dots and stripes, denim on denim, all neutrals, stuff like that. I chose Black and brown. Most would say they don't go together but I think I pulled them off quiet nicely.



I put in a pop of color with the necklace.

HFW: Day 2 Recreation



Salaam And Salutations!

Day 2 of HFW...And I had to think about what I consider recreation. Well my girls love to swim. As Muslimahs we all have modest swimwear, so I picked swimming. So this is what I wear on my WAY to the pool. My LiaWear Action cover up. I love it. It matches my swimsuit from Spashgear USA and is so comfy.
