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.

What a day!! I’m back home from my dentist after getting my tooth pulled. Aside from some swelling and pain and the fact that I’m high on Novacaine, I am doing pretty good. So I am just going to sit back and let my ibuprofen numb my pain.

I haven’t been on here in a while. Like I stated in my last post I was having some internet trouble and finally got it fixed. Wifi can cause headaches sometimes. So I am back and in full effect. I will definitely update the blog with frequent posts now.

I have a lot of things going in my life right now. For starters, I will be starting my first year of college next month. Which I am soooo excited about. After years of wanting to become a doctor, I am finally beginning the journey. I plan on not taking too many courses and just ease my way into the whole college rhythm. I am amped and ready to go. I love learning, so college is a perfect match for me.

Oh, also I know some months back I said I would be jump starting my YouTube channel. But since I am not really in the position to do it and do it right as of now. I will have to postpone my YouTube venture indefinitely. It’s coming, just not yet.

So that’s it for now. I think the next post I write will be about hair. So be on the lookout for me. I usually write my posts on Friday so check then for that new post and maybe more.

Peace, Wiggy Wack ♥
