Assallaam to all.
Hope you all are all well......
Haven''t had a chance to do a blog post in a while. Been busy with other projects. So yes lots of exciting things happening. Alghamdullilah.
I took these pics last Friday and realised that It would be a great mother and daughter post and a short little introduction to my Hijab Journey. However my initial intention was to do a look post on boyfriend jeans. So here you go with a bit of both....
Hope you enjooooyyyyyy it.....
I would like to start off my saying that wearing an Islamic headscarf, or a hijab, is a personal choice. For many it is a representation of faith and a way to practice modesty . As I am someone who has always been interested in fashion, my style has always been influenced by the latest trends. However, after getting married, I made the conscious effort to adorn the hijab. When my beautiful daughter arrived, my desire to set a stellar example for her intensified. I want my daughter to grow up knowing that Islam, the Hijab in particular, does not exclude you from the rest of the world. It allows you to still express your sense of style, with a modest twist. As a parent I believe that I owe it to my daughter and other young girls out there to respect my body and my voice.
I wear my Hijab with confidence and it can be seen and felt by all of those around me. I may not be a perfect example of a woman in Hi jab and I’m not denying it, because my mistakes are a part of who I am, just like my hijab. If I am to define my hijab story, it will not only entail my never ending soul searching but also my failings, my embarrassing moments, my fears, and other less-than-perfect things. I believe the same case applies for many other hijab-wearing women.
I ask myself this question. Does wearing Hijab make me seen as better than other people? No. I just believe that my relationship with Allah (swt) and my internal processing of all my outward manifestation of my religion is strictly a personal business. How others see it, is their business.
I would hope that people perceive me to be a modern Muslim woman, with an underlying passion for fashion and a love for my religion. One of the main misconceptions of the Hijab is that it is oppressive. It isn't at all. Personally, I feel liberated knowing that I am a symbol of a beautiful faith and a woman amongst many who still look and feel beautiful through dressing modestly and respectfully. Wearing the Hijab isn't meant to make you feel as though you're secluded. Wearing the Hijab is simply a way to look fabulous, without showing too much.
I feel proud, protected and respected when wearing my Hijab. I feel as though I am making the Hijab so much more accessible to young women who are interested in making the esteemed change but are afraid to lose their personal style along the way. Wearing my Hijab allows me to feel as though I belong to something greater than myself and this brings me so much of comfort.
I must say that I am so blessed to be living in a country, where we have a sense of freedom with regards to our religious beliefs. Also I strongly believe that having the confidence and wearing your Hijab with pride plays a huge role on how people treat and perceive you as a Hijabi. So all praises to the almighty, I haven't yet been treated any less during my journey.
So here I am in my Boyfriend jeans, a loose, relaxed fit . They have a cool, tomboy vibe that is super fun if you can pull it off. Usually you wear them rolled at the ankle.
boyfriend jeans tend to look best with tops that are tucked in but not too tidy. You often see them worn with a feminine blouse and heels. And because they’re pretty baggy, they’re usually worn with a belt.
Hope you enjoyed my post my beauts!!!
