Relaxed... Turkish Style

It's very common to see the ladies in Turkey wearing thin/light and very bright coloured tunic tops over jeans in the summer.

I have had this bright green top hanging in my cupboard for 1 year now. You can instantly tell it's wog-style. :)) Nonetheless, I wanted to wear it one way or another. I couldn't wear it until now because it was too small, but I just love this green and knew that one day I will be able to fit into it. Alhamdulillah it happened. However, now I feel it doesn't really suit my body shape (after seeing the photos). I am a square/rectangle, which means I dont really have much of a waist. Therefore, shapeless tops make me look a little more bigger than what I really am.

Other than that, I was going to team the top with my white jeans, but they seemed too dressy or too much, because the weather isn't as sunny as it was yesterday, and I'm only going to the post office and supermarket.

After that was all done, the hijab was the last problem in the equation. I don't have any hijabs with green in it. I tried different colours but they looked funny. Then I remembered the set I made on Polyvore back in August 2009 (Click to see). I had used white, green, and brown together. Yep! Brainstorms were going off now. :)) I decided to wear a plain light brown hijab and to add tan shoes and bag to solve the problem. :) I think I did well for a casual look without making the bright green look trashy.

Whay do you think?
