Just throw on a hijab and this outfit is Fierce!

I love visiting Muslim fashion blogs, my favorite are Hegab Rehab, StyleCovered, and Hijabs High. I love each blog for different reasons, they each have a different tone and style but they all cater to Muslim women who want to Glamify (I know it’s not a word) their wardrobe.

Now I love fashion with a passion. I may wish to start my own fashion label one day (maybe!). And as a hijabi, I am always looking for a Muslimah on the street who rocking. I mean she may be properly covered, but she is still as hot as a candle. It annoys me when I see Muslimah’s walking around in nothing but black , looking like their going to a funeral, everyday! Now don’t get me wrong I loooovvvveeee black. It’s one of my favorite colors and think it looks darn good on me. But for me to wear it everyday, there is no way in hell that is going to happen! There is nowhere in the Qur’an or Sunnah that says a women can only wear all black! And if it doesn’t state it in either one of those sources, I don’t have time for it. A sister can where any color she wants! As long as the outfit is in accordance with the conditions of hijab why does the color of the outfit matter.

Now that being said, I understand that in different cultures, different colors symbolize different meanings. In western culture, black is a symbol of mourning, so to wear it everyday and especially, wear nothing else in but color, covered from head to toe will undoubtedly attract too much attention. The idea of hijab is to be modest not stick out like a freak show. Now in Middle Eastern culture, black is seen as a color of modesty, I suppose. So a sister wearing all black is not seen as unusual it is actually preferred. Now it does irritate me that in Mid East culture black is seen as the only appropriate colorfor women. I think this is an extreme they can do without. But I am not her to critique anyone’s culture, especially one I am not from.

But as Westerners color is embraced as long as it’s not too over the top. Someone walking down the street wearing all the colors of the rainbow, will definitely get some funny looks. Westerners like to have a good balance of color, not too much or too little, not too bright or not too dark.

I have a variety of colors in my wardrobe, from white to black. I have every color of the rainbow and wear them each with style and fierceness. I love to mix it up. I would love to see more Muslimah’s do this and not be afraid to step out and try something new and different. Because to be honest I see too many sisters who wear hijab with no style, they look so plain, dark, and drab that it hurts. If they threw in a little bit of color their style would increase about twenty points.

I am not here to criticize anyone’s choice of clothing or colors, for that matter. What one wears is one’s own decision. I just want to open up people’s minds about the choices they do have. If you wear all black, I have nothing against you. A sister can wear all black and still look fierce. I just don’t believe that it is Qur’an or Sunnah to only wear black. And Allah Knows Best.

A while back I wrote a post that touched on the topic of black self-hatred of nappy hair. I don’t know how popular the post is, but I suggest you read it.

Now, I am sure you have heard about the documentary “Good Hair” by Chris Rock. If you google it, there will be plenty of people who have written their two cents about the film. Some liked it, others didn’t. I have been wanting to see it since earlier this year, but when it finally came out I didn’t jump to go see it. Well, I am about to watch it now and when I finish I will write my own review on it.

Peace everyone. I just wanted to inform you all that in the coming months I will start posting vlogs on Youtube. It has been something that I have been thinking of for a while now.

I already have a Youtube account, but I only have one video on it. I really have become inspired to try out vlogging on Youtube and I think it will be fun! And who knows how far I will go.

I will make posts on a variety of topics. It will just be like this blog only in video. So, Insha ALLAH, next year around February I will debut Wiggy Wack TV. So stay tuned, I will alert you when I debut.

Note: I have put a link to my Youtube channel in the sidebar under the heading “Find Me On”.

Peace, Wiggy Wack ♥

I love to see black models. You don’t really see many gracing the cover of magazines. But I found two magazines that had black models on the cover. Both featured Chanel Iman and Jordan Dunn.

I wish more magazines would showcase black beauty. So black girls can have someone they can identify with.

Black beauty is diverse! We don’t all look like the more euro centric Beyonce and Halle Berry.

This is something I would love wear to work one day.

This is the first airing of my show “Wiggy Wack Radio” on the website Blog Talk Radio. I just gave a brief introduction about myself, my show, and this blog. Please listen and enjoy.

Peace, Wiggy Wack ♥

Thanks to the sister Ange, at Hegab Rehab I discovered a site called Polyvore, that let’s you put together outfis for ideas. I absolutely love it. I know this is not a fashion blog nor do I intend for it to be so. But I will post my sets from Polyvore onto the blog when I make them. Hope you like them.

My style may not be your style, so please don’t look at my creations as if they were from a fashionista.

Peace, Wiggy Wack ♥

P.S. I think I may add a fashion page to put on my sets on.

Winona Ryder looks great in this Victorian outfit.

I absolutely love Victorian style clothing. I don’t know why, I just do. Maybe it’s the long dresses, the color black, or the corsets (without the pain), but Victorian clothes are really attractive to me. I also like other classic styles, like clothes from the Regency time period.

I am going to have to find some clothes with these Victorian and Regency elements. It would definitely add something new and different to my wardrobe.
