Hijab Fashion Week

I must be crazy because I signed up to participate in Hijab Fashion Week. Argh! What was I thinking?

If you haven’t guessed by now, I am a Muslim. I wear the Hijab or headscarf on a daily basis. And no I don’t shower in it (True story). I’d heard about Hijab Fashion week and seen how wonderful the looks the ladies shared last time were, so after thinking it over I decided to take the plunge.

This time Hijab Fashion Week will start on November 27th – December 3rd. During the week women who are participating will post up looks based on the themes provided by the organisers. It’s just a fun way to show how you’d dress for the gym, work, a night out etc.

So, next week I’ll be posting up my 7 looks and we’ll see how I get on! I’m a little nervous as it’s so out of my comfort zone, but if you don’t Carpe Diem then life’s pretty boring!

Just as a heads up, the seven themes are:

Day 1 — Leaders in Hijab: what leadership roles do you have or want to try? (President, teacher, mother, Volunteer Leader, CEO etc.). 

Day 2 — Hobby/Recreation: What do you do when you have free time? (hike, sail, write, paint, etc.)
Day 3 — Break the Rules: A stylish hijabi can look good in anything, even when she’s breaking the rules! Pick a fashion/style rule you always follow, and show us how you’d break it in style! (Any style rule may be broken, except the Islamic criteria for hijab).

Day 4 — Vacation/Destination: Where would you go, if you could go anywhere in the world? What outfits would you wear?

Day 5 — Eid & Formal: It’s Friday! Dress up! What did you wear for Eid? What do you wear to formal events/parties?

Day 6 — Date Night: Yesterday you dressed up for you, today dress up for your man! What do you wear when going out with your (future) husband?

Day 7 — Out with Friends: Finish off the week by hanging out with friends! Where do you usually go? What do you usually do?

 

It’s free to join for muslim and non-muslim women. They are also hosting giveaways throughout the week. So, it should be interesting!
