New Buys - What to Wear it With

Wanted to go to mum's today, but she called just as I was about to leave home and asked me to come later. Apparently she was going to go plant shopping. Sheesh! What do I do with myself now?

She said it was going to be an hour or two soooo... I thought I will go to a shopping centre and browse around... I can't buy anything, because I don't really have any extra spendable $$$ at the moment...

Anyhow, was checking out City Chic since I was on their website the other day and saw a jacket which I instantly fell in love with. I wanted to see the real thing! :) Oh but I shouldn't have... because I ended up buying one of the last two remaining (only one left in my size).

Something else I wanted was one of their belts. Oh it is so cute and hot... Irresistable...

BUT I now have a problem... other than the non-spending money I spent... :) What am I going to wear this jacket with??? I have no problem with the belt. Put it on anything and it will instantly look hot! I tried it on a few things and was very pleased with the result. So no problems there. :)

As for the jacket... It has a gorgeous cut and fit. Contrary to what I thought, it does not make me look bigger despite the colour. At first I thought I may wear it with a nice pastel floral dress or something, but now I'm not sure. It looks great both buttoned and un-buttoned.

Please help girls. Any suggestions on how I should wear it? It sure looks great directly on jeans, but obviously that is not how I am going to wear it out... so I need hijab-appropriate ideas please. Help! Especially in terms of colours. Yeah sure it will look great on a soft/dusty pink... but anything else???

Here are the photos from the City Chic Website:

The jacket...

It has some beautiful lace detail in the mid section, collar and back shoulders...

Any ideas? I have a henna party coming up this weekend, so I might just wear it to that, but with what?

Over and out

Wog Girl :)
