Okay, so, I already have a bunch of pictures I've been taking, and I guess it doesn't make sense to "spread them out" over time, since by the end of the weekend it's likely I'll have taken more, and thus have more to catch up on, leading to depression and demotivation likely to result in my giving up in a pool of self-loathing and disgust. Not good.
This is my profile photo right now, but that is likely to change any time. Don't you just love bright colors in geometric patterns? This has got to be my favorite scarf so far. It's so smooth and light, perfect for summer. I barely even felt it. I wore it to my school (first time I've done that, very nerve-wracking), and got several compliments on it. In fact, a few students said that it suited me. *Phew* Why was I worried again?
Living in another country can be a challenge, but living in another country and adhering to a mode of dress that is both widely unseen and visually tied to a particular culture and religion not your own is, to say the least, incredibly challenging.
I am attempting to balance out the transition by incorporating the head scarf into my normal business attire (and of course, casual day off attire), keeping it modern and light.

I Need Something....
Buy it here! Some of these shops I have ordered from myself, and some I haven't but have heard good things about. If you have used a shop, then please let me know so I can give it a star rating!

Because: HUGE selection (over 1,000 scarves), fast and reasonably-priced international shipping. Has everything a beginner would need, and is always getting new products, including Mona and Kuwaiti hijabs.

Seems to have a good selection of Al-Amira and Spanish-style caps, as well as some interesting bonnets and scarves.

A nice selection of modest clothing, including jilbabs, tops, cardigans, and maxi dresses. Also hijabs of all types. Offers a monthly contest for a free hijab.

Good selection of reasonably-priced hijab scarves, a wide selection of full-coverage underscarves (called Covering Bandannas on the site), bonnets, and the "bulkyjab," a generously-sized scarf for full coverage with lots of fabric to play with. Order within the UK only, because their international shipping rates are outrageous.

Newly launched modest clothing line by hijabi Hana Tajima-Simpson. A basic collection, but bound for great things. Basics of each item your wardrobe requires- skirts, trousers, polo tops, snood caps, dresses. Pre-ordered items shipped quickly, and were very high quality.
