I'm not really a "glam" girl, but I went out on a limb and tried a style I read about in another blog, a fabulous fashion blog called StyleCovered. If you haven't seen it, then you must go there! Right now!
Coincidentally, just a few days after I read Hana's blog post about tiered dresses and ruffles, I found a tiered tank dress (in Japan, they call it a "one-piece," meaning it's too short to be a dress and too long to be a shirt. The name kinda fits.) They only had two colors, white and black. Going against my natural instincts, I went with white. On the same day, I also happened across a tiny stand set up next to the escalators of the bookstore I frequent. The old ladies manning the shop were selling a lot of beautiful scarves, all very pricey. However, there were a couple of shiny silk scarves of solid colors on sale. In keeping with the theme of the day, I went with a color I normally wouldn't choose, a lovely kiwi green. It wasn't until later, when I got home, that I decided these two went together.
To complete the assemble, I wore a tan cardigan, khaki trousers (skinny style), a black and gold lace underscarf cap, and star-shaped seashell earrings.

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!

My 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.

I love how you tied your hijab in this. I am always looking for new ways to wear hijab because i get so bored with the old:(
Can you teach me how to wear it this way? I think you can even do posts on how to tie hijabs:))))
Really like your blog:)
Thanks!!! I'm planning to make a photo tutorial soon, with how I wrapped this scarf. It's actually very easy. I'm a beginner so easy is about all I can do! Haha.
