A more Western outfit

If you were to take me out would you be happy with this? Or prefer something more traditional?

Questions & a confession

As I sit here plugged, caged and ready to learn I realise I've neglected my training both as a muslimah and as a sissy. The hot weather makes me both lazy and wilful but that's not an excuse.

And I find myself asking if an unconventional girl like myself can ever be accepted in Jannah?

Afghan burqa: close up

Just thought I'd share this to show how nice the detail is close up

u/ShafiqaCD — 6 days ago

I tried the Afghan burqa

I was curious and wanted to see what it's like.

The good... It's very quick to throw on over whatever outfit you're wearing and absolutely ticks the modesty box. It's easy to either hide or use your arms thanks to the shorter front part although I imagine holding it closed on a windy day could be a nightmare. It's easier to see out of than you might think.

The bad... The material feels cheap but overall the worst thing is it takes away the personality of wearing more popular types of modest dress. Abaya/hijab/niqab offers pretty much an endless variety of different styles and fits so you can feel comfortable and look elegant. This exchanges that for one size fits all. So overall it's a no from me because I still want to look and feel pretty when I'm modest!

What would you say...

...if you spotted me at the market dressed like this?

Locktober dreams

I've been keeping track and managed 259 hours or a third of the month in July. Biggest lesson has been to pay more attention to moisturising as the most common reason to take it off was chafing. But increasingly I just forget it's there. Hoping to push to half the month in August, 2/3 in September and then the full deal! Who else is "in training"?

With & without

Which style would you want me to wear if we were going for a stroll?

u/ShafiqaCD — 1 month ago

One dress, 2 outfits

Same dress as my previous post but paired with a khimar this time

Leopard print!

Less traditional than some of my outfits but it's cute, nice & light for the summer & I think it's still modest.

Style inspo for the girlies

This is really quick & easy to do. One rectangular scarf, 3 pins & about 2 minutes!

Flashback

From when it was a bit cooler. Can't wait for another chance to go out into the world. Simple wants but my dream is for someone to take me out for coffee and a little walk!

Keeping cool

Loose trousers and vest top with an open top abaya & amira. Simple, semi casual but still modest. Last photo: the vest top is coordinated!

Training time

Just a simple outer outfit today. Abaya/bonnet/scarf/arm sleeves/niqab.

​

Why am I wearing tight booty shorts underneath? Well it's hot but it's also to help keep something in while I learn to relax and get used to it. The middle size of a set of 3, not pictured because well, I'm wearing it.
