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.

Can you believe?

There was a time when I thought feminine outfits were about showing off short skirts and lots of skin.

Outfit:

Grey slip dress

Red open front abaya

Ninja cap

Tan Amira

Saudi style stiff headband niqab

Black gloves

Black underwear

Movement

Modest dress isn't just about throwing on the hijab, there are lots of little things you have to learn. One of them is how to move elegantly. Smaller steps carefully placed when walking, going up stairs it's easy to trip in a long abaya so you have to remember to lift it slightly.

When sitting it's legs together and discreetly adjust your clothing so it sits correctly and isn't pulling. Posture is important, remembering to sit or stand straight, and of course if you're wearing something flowing you may need to be aware of the wind lifting things up when outside. All these are things which I think men are only vaguely aware of!

Outfit:

Black underwear

Brown wide sleeve abaya

Black khimar

Saudi style stiff headband niqab

Arm sleeves & gloves

Knee length black socks

Background changed in the first 2 images but the outfit hasn't been altered.

Styling with a skirt

Another cheat background but the outfit is all me (And always will be even if I manipulate other aspects of the picture).

Do you like outfits that are modest but without an abaya?

It's fun playing around with different backgrounds

Hope you don't mind the cheating!

The hotel. Story in body text

You knew there was a ladies only event on the top floor of the hotel. You'd seen your neighbour being dropped off earlier by her husband.

You knew you shouldn't try to sneak up there and that if the manager found out there would be hell to pay. But somehow you couldn't stop yourself.

You opened the door from the service corridor quietly and stopped in your tracks. You couldn't believe this could be the same girl, your pious niqabi neighbour. But the bag, surely it was the same handbag??? You lost your nerve and ran off back downstairs before anyone knew you were there. But for the rest of the evening and the next day you couldn't get this image out of your head.

Finding my style without an abaya

Similar to yesterday but swapping the trousers for a skirt. I think it's more feminine, do you agree?

The accidental rush

I'm sensible, I always plan to take the key with me in case of emergency. But the more I wear it the more often I forget it's there. There's nothing like the rush of terror/excitement I get when I realise I've headed out with no key & it really isn't coming off until I get home!

Summer looks

Do you like a splash of colour?

Are the (loose) trousers OK or do you think it should be a skirt?

Men will never understand the battle

Trying to make a new hijab look like it did in the pictures. Trying to make it look elegant. All the different ways we can style it. Appreciate it, yes, but understand it, no.

I've not got this to look like the pictures, but hopefully it looks OK
