Loving the eşarp - LOSVE Turquoise Paisley



Paisley is soo cool. Wikipedia says "is a droplet-shaped vegetal motif of Persian origin, similar to half of the Yin yang symbol, or the leaf of the Indian bodhi tree or the mango tree; or to a leech. The pattern is sometimes called "Persian pickles" by American traditionalists, especially quiltmakers,[1] or "Welsh pears" in Wales textiles as far back as 1888.[2]"

What I love about LOSVE scarves is that they are like eşarp, howerver they are not silk so are a lot cheaper, but they feature different patterns from the Turkish eşarp houses as they are independent of Turkish fashion being in the UK. This hijab features turquoise, white, orange and yellow so I have picked these up in my look. There's an alternate scarf or dupatta as I saw a sister wearing this in a salwar kamees recently and it was soo beautiful. I hope you like the quirky accessories, we are moving into spring now so I thought I would love to wear some OTT looks.

Rayyan's Seventh Outfit - Top Update

I see that Spiegels has now sold out of the top I recommended in Rayyan's Seventh Outfit - Top so I thought I would find a new option. Fortunately while searching for kurta options for my post on Rayyan's Twelth Outfit - Top I found this gorgeous kurta that is very similar and very modest as it is lined.

Rayyan's Twelth Outfit - Top


This is picture from an older version of the Little Mosque website shows the same top worn in this episode but gives you a much better idea of its wonderful emrodiery. I love this top, but as with many of Rayyan's clothes part of their gorgeousness is their uniqueness so I don't think I'll be able to find something similar. I've tried to choose things that would go with the hijab I've chosen. You can't see Rayyan's skirt here so I'd just suggest you wear one of your black skirts.

Forgive me, I love Kurta but please remember with kurta, most of them are not muhajabat friendly on their own as they can be sheer or have 3/4 sleeves, remember to wear
