Why Fab Hijab?
After much deliberation (mostly with my self) I decided to share with my fashion conscious sisters the personal style I have accumulated over the previous decade but first I must torture you by Sharing with you the trial and tribulations of the hijabi through the 90’s , given of course that I’m Egyptian and have been veiled for the last 11 years at the tender age of 15 that does not mean I have had it easier than my European and American counterparts (fashion wise only ofcourse) , 15 which is just at the time I became interested in fashion!
I’ve been through owning only white veils and tying them back Turkish style (which has made a comeback finally!) through only owning mens shirts so I could play around with colors and accessories (again making a comeback God I’m old) only wearing jeans and black pants , skirts were dull and for my mother J , I went through a khaleej style black veil and that’s all I ever wore ,
Older and much wiser now I’m over my hatred for skirts and shirts mind you have fallen even deeply in love with the art of clothes , this day and age shopping on the internet , the globalization of retail stores like zara, h&m and my beloved sewing machine it’s become a lot easier to find suitable covering up clothes , not to mention maxis and flowing skirts are in at the moment J
Hope you all enjoy the outfits I put together , hopefully this blog will build into yet another of the impressive and growing presence of young hijabis in the blogging world
My favourite sister in the whole wide world (only one in fact) will be co blogging whatever that is adding tips and hints on how to care for your hijabs and much more she will also be our technical director (geek *cough*) so any art work or design you admire on the blog is thanx to her J
Disclaimer: The outfits are not always “perfectly conservative Islamic wear” I am not a representation of anyone but myself so negative comments about the conservatism will be deleted you are welcome to criticize the style J or ofcourse make suggestions on how to make it more hijab friendly
