how would you wrap that? I guess I could stare at it for awhile and find out. That would be a nice style for warm weather.

IrishMuslimah-- you would start with either an uncap or a hijab. If it's an uncap, just slide/tie it on. If it's a hijab, pin to the back and wrap in a bun. Your second piece [the floral design] you would start at one end, pin it under the bun. You can now take the long piece, wrap it around the bun a few times [depends on how long it is] then bring it to the front, and bring it across the chest and pin again under the bun. Very simple, very quick. :nerd:

That one is gone now :look:

My hubs is going to order me a similar one though. I sort of wanted that one because the one Im getting now has too many designs in the sleeves so now I have to match it with specific color hijabs.

Oh well.

and THANK YOU Shadha :what:

What a fun style. Im going to try it out when I get home.

I ordered these

fromhttp://www.eastessence.com/index.php?p=home
Posted Image

to replace a plain black abaya I had in a similar but really boring style that is oddly enough too big

and

from http://www.alhediya.com/index.html
http://ep.yimg.com/c...ya_2104_3438040

http://ep.yimg.com/c...ya_2104_3467057

which replaces another abaya I have which is again, too big as odd as that sounds. Plus I wanted a button down for for like ever. And they make a custom skirt to go with it.

I know, not very stylish

i like the first one you posted, Chotoo. Satin makes everything look classier and turquoise is a flattering color on everyone. And the puckered sleeves are in these days, I've seen a lot of jackets with them

What's the quality like for EastEssence? I'm a bit wary ordering something so cheap, but it's so hard to find white abayas so I'm very tempted. They have a few that I'm thinking about ordering.

It feels like i haven't bought a scarf in a very long time. I have no idea where to find them. The last scarves i bought were from Next and Tie Rack. Brits- any suggestions off the 'highstreet' ?

M Butterfly have those springy scarves with bunches of grapes on them that you like.

.

H&M has a few- plain pashminas, and patterned cotton ones that arent so big.

Sometimes you find the odd nice thing in TK Maxx.

thehijabshop.com for plain pashminas for £5.

Diya online/rani fashions sometimes have those same plain pashminas for £2, but not always. And you cant tell which ones which, they have different sorts with different qualities.

Do you mean really flimsy summery ones?

Theyre not quite as easy to find.

I have one nice patterned grey and black thin one from h&m from last year. I love it cuz its the one thin scarf I have thats actually quite big.

Actually I also have a pink one, a little smaller but fair size, from H&M thats like 4 years old lol.

I bought two thin ones from accessorize sale last summer. These are quite a bit smaller. Plain purple and Navy.

And the only place I ever found a lot of thin plain scarves is french market in Newport. (when they have the massive one down the highstreet, last few years they also have this other smaller food-only one in john frost square).

Me and my sisters bought blue, green, peach, grey, brown, and navy from there like 3 years ago.

The only thing is I just dont wear them a lot because they dont give me plenty of extra fabric to cover the chest. (or its workable if I wear an underscarf with my bun wrapped into the underscarf so that I dont have to layer up the main one as much (because theyre a little see through), leaving more for the front).

Otherwise go to manchester and go to Longsight market

No, Longsight is not that good. Mostly shimmery/glittery scarves and I'm past that

The scarves you got sound lovely masha Allah. I think I'm just going to have to keep hunting. I'm quite strategic with my scarf pining, so a run of the mill scarf size will do.

Will keep an eye out and let you know. I have about 5 scarves that I wear right now...I've completely gone off the rest!
