Navy on Navy

Mashaallah such a beautiful and sunny day in Melbourne today. Nothing much to say. Had an appointment at the doctors, so tried to take in as much sunshine as possible on the way up and back. :)

Couldn't really be bothered with picking and choosing, so just wore my reliable navy jersey dress with my navy blazer. I had to add some colour, so I went along with my cherry red Hermes scarf.

That's about it... Jummah mubarak lovelies. :)

Pretty in Tekbir

There was this dress I wanted... A Tekbir dress from my own store. It's from their 2010 S/S collection. I knew I wouldn't fit into it, but I tried the largest size anyway! I couldn't get it down my arms. I was stuck with a dress half way down my arms, with my arms held above my head. It wouldn't budge down. LOL

Mum and sis told me to put it back up at the shop so that someone else who can fit into it buy it. I said, "I don't care, I want it and inshaallah there will come a time when I will fit into it."

You know, it's not a crash hot, mouth watering dress. Nothing like that at all. I guess I've never had such a pretty dress (it is summer pretty with flower appliques all over it), and it was a matter of pride (or a challenge) to fit into it. I also remember a lovely lady wearing it during my 2010 holiday in Turkey. I guess I wanted to look like her. :P

Now, I fit into the dress, and in fact it is a size too big at the moment. It's still good to wear, because originally it is a fitted dress up top. Right now, it is perfect in terms of modesty up top if you know what I mean. :) So it's not sloshy and sloppy...

Anyways, yes, I am thrilled to fit into the dress... more thrilled that it is even a size big... but it no longer charms me... it's a bit too pretty for me... probably the word I'm looking for is "young". Yes, it's a little too young for me, I just don't feel it's my style. But is it comfy? Sure it! One piece. Pop it on and add hijab, and don't worry about any other layer if you are not an abaya kinda gal.

I don't know? I really like it, but not on me... and probably not in (almost) winter in Australia. Woggy a bit? Whateveeerrrr :) I'm a little bit of a wog. I think I'm overthinking it LOL

So here is a detail shot of my pretty dress. :)

To the max(i)!

Hi dee hoooo :) Has been a while, but been busy with stuffs and nothings... you know how it is.. sometimes you get sooo busy with doing nothings that you can't find it in yourself to do somethings! :)

I've been really into the maxis lately... dresses... cardis... all maxis. :)

So here's another maxi maxi outfit... We went out to din din with mum tonight... no special occasion, but just felt like it. :))) Anyways... I have purchased maxi cardigans and maxi dresses in sooo many colours that I'm loving it. :) Me recommends to all! :) Asos has one of the best range of maxi dresses and cardigans I have ever seen. They also have a large variety of prices and regular sale items. They also have an Asos Curve section on the page that caters for us plus sized women. Awesome I say! Give it a looksie I say! The only thing you might regret is not buying! :) They have FREE shipping... I am broke at the moment, but I look forward to buying moooore and mooooore in the future (dunno how soon that will be though LOL).

Oh and my maxi dresses! I found such a bargain at Glassons a few weeks ago. The one I'm wearing in this post is also from Glassons. I bought like 4 different colours. I bought this camel one and a light grey for $12 (reduced from $60), and a black and navy in the same style for $20 (reduced from $60). I saw some more last week, so if you need/want some, go check out Glassons soon! :)

Heaps of love and kisses to y'all!

Oh yes, I got my nose pierced for the 4th time. I always seem to want to change the nose ring, but I can never get the other nose ring in before the hole closes up. It's been over 5 years since my last one and I had been wanting it for a while. So when I saw a place that does it I didn't think twice about it. Just went in and got it done LOL It's very tiny and not too obvious, which is just the way I like it... What do you think?

I am S.A.D. today

Majority of Melbournians would agree that the weather here has been crazy the past few days... Majority in Queensland would agree that the weather there has been frightening with the disasterous floods in the certain region... Though we... specifically me, myself (ok... and I...) have been longing for some sun light to shine through. I hope to see some sun on the weekend inshaallh, ad regret returning to depressing, dark and gloomy Melbourne this week.

I have not been leaving the house since the day I returned. So when I received a "movie of the week" email from Hoyts Rewards (The Tourist is this weeks movie!), I thought it's an excuse to go out! I will be leaving soon to watch the movie... Hmm as you know, leaving the house is an excuse for... what?

Well, getting dressed of course! :)) However, my mood overtook me, and I dressed for the weather.. all dark and glum! Hey, is glum even a word? I can't be bothered checking it in the dictionary now, but consider it's edbictinary meaning to be: when one is gloomy and grumpy hahah

Love ya'll!

A Walk on the Wild Side

Some may find leopard print trashy, but I have always liked it. I can't really say I ever owned anything leopard printsy, but IN or OUT, I wasn't one to trash it.

Hmm... So today's outfit had to be a quick one, I had no choice. I went for my ever-reliable black maxi (every hijabi MUST have one IMHO) and plain black hijab (it was ready, ironed).

Then I though oh no this is too black. I must do something to jazz it up! What accessory better than a shawl to add colour to a plain outfit? I've had my eye on the leopard print shawl amongst my stock for a while now... but just thought, where and how would I wear it? I am not much of a shawl/rectangle hijab person, so I had kept myself from taking one for myself. :)

Anyhow, I threw it around my neck, and thought... Black jacket? But decided against it, because that would just look a bit too weird. Instead I went for my denim jacket and added a tan belt to it.

I think it turned out better than I imagined. I like this look. It's definitely one I am going to use with different shawls. :)) Oh, and my denim jacket is a cropped one, but I think this look would be mighty fine with a trench, close to the length of the shawl. Must try in autumn/winter! :))

On a final note, I think the shawl makes me look slimmer than I am. So ladies, stop focusing on your problem areas. Everyone has something they are not happy with about their body. Focus on what you wear and how you wear it. It makes a huge difference!

So what do you think?

Have a very blessed Friday, and a great weekend inshaallah!

Over and out

Wog Girl! :)

xoxo
