So I got home from work around 5:30pm and had to be ready by 7:00pm because the sis, the niece, and I plus a friend needed to get to the ladies dance night. I like events like this because I don't really get invited to henna parties or ladies only weddings. All my friends have gotten married and raising their children. So I guess they wont be getting their children married off for another 15 years. My God! If Allah wills I will be 47 by then, and I don't think I would be stuffed much with such events.
Whatever... To the point... I purchased a couple gorgeous dresses (IMO) from Chelsea today, so I didn't worry at all about what I was going to wear. BUT, despite having over 1000 hijabs for sale, and despite owning over 50 hijabs (I give away anything that is good but which I no longer use or throw away what has gone old.. I don't keep scarves for too long... I don't like clutterring stuff I don't use.. waste of space and waste of time especially since I move at least once a year LOL), I had NOTHING to wear with the dress tonight (may Allah forgive me). Nothing would do... I tried on 5 different hijabs, but in the end I stuck with the first one I had tried. Argh! Don't you just hate when that happens?
So, I am now in love with this dress (I never have or keep or buy anything I am not in love with) and it is soooooo comfy, but yeah I wasn't too happy with the hijab I wore. I looked for my plain grey one, but could not find it. I didn't want one that had too much blue or navy... so just made it even tougher for myself.. I guess it wasn't too bad but not what I really had in mind. However, the scarf on its own is gorgeous I think. :))
What do you do when you are not happy with your choice of hijab for the day? Would you still leave the house with it or turn back and change it even though you know you are going to be late for that important appointment? Do you stick with it until the end of the day or do you take a spare with you and change it later in the day?
Personally, I myself have on occasions taken a spare :) I have turned back despite knowing that I will be late. I have also stuck with my wrong choice and avoided seeing myself in the mirror all day long. :))
And here are some photos... :) xoxo
The Make-Up. The Hijab.
Make-up is my usual evening colour. I didn't want to go bright blue, but I used a very dark blue grey for contouring the eye. You can't really tell from the photos but it turned out nice if I say so myself. :P
My new fave dress. Sorry about the bad photos. We took them outside in the dark, and they didn't come out too good because my niece couldn't keep her hand steady in night shot mode which causes blurry photos. These were taken in auto mode. So yeah whatever :)
The bag seemed to go well at home, but these photos show me that it doesn't look as good as I imagined. :)) Oh and the dress looks better in real life. I am going to post the same dress some time in the near future cos I'm surely going to be wearing this a lot this year LOL but this time in better light :)
Now this young lady is a very special one. She is my landlord as well as my friend. Our friendship is quite new, but it is one I hold dear to my heart, because she really and truly is a special being mashaallah. Oh and she is one of the most stylish hijabis I know. She has the funkiest skirts and most gorgeous jackets.
How hot is her jacket?! I also love the top. Oh yeah she too was dancing away all night. :)) So girlies, I think having a few gorgeous jackets in your wardrobe is a great investment! I need jackets!!!
....and my one and only niece... if you are on my FB friends list, you will recognise her from some of my hijab photos. :) I hve a top very similar to this one which I team with jeans or white linen pants and a cardi. great colours for summer!
