Rayyan's Sixth Outfit - Skirt

I love this dark denim godet skirt, a staple for a fashionable Muslima. I love the stitching on this one but couldn't find anything similar, here's two options from Shukr:

Shukr's Denim Godet Skirt US$44.95

Shukr's Paneled Godet Skirt US$59.95

Rayyan's Sixth Outfit - Shirt


Rayyan wears a simple white button shirt in this outfit over a long mauve t-shirt. I have never been able to find a t-shirt that long, if I find one I'll do an update.

Shukr's Formal Affair Blouse in White US$44.95

Rayyan's Sixth Outfit - Scarf

Hehe Rayyan looks a bit grumpy in this image! She's wearing a simple purple georgette square hijab with a white underscarf in with this outfit, its so simple and pretty. You could wear any hijab with this outfit as this other clothing items are neutrals.

Star Scarves' Light Purple with Sequins Pashmina Scarf for USD $14.39

Al Hannah's Solid Turkish Gauze Hijab US$9.99 in Violet

The Hijab Shop's Square Hijab in Purple £5.25



I personally have a scarf very similar to Rayyan's from eJilbab, a Georgette Hijab in Thistle US$5.99

Rayyan's Fifth Outfit

Sorry very very fuzzy picture! This outfit is the top and hijab from Outfit One and pants from Outfit Two. This shows how a few well chosen, loose long clothing items can be worn in different ways. Rayyan's outfit is a bit too revealing for me as I personally feel that when wearing trousers it is better to wear a long top that reaches to the knee (to cover the bottom) and to wear loose trousers which do not reveal the shape of the leg. Keep it modest sisters!

Rayyan's Forth Outfit - Skirt

Only image I could get of this skirt, sorry it a bit fuzzy but you get the idea. Horizontal tiered skirt from light pink to maroon with sequins.

Great layering T-Shirt!

The Canadian Muslim has some beautiful scarves and Abayas on her site but what has come to my attention recently are her Long Sleeve Neck Shirts. They come in five colors: Black, Navy, Baby Blue, Red and White. What is so great about them is their length of 23", which should be past waist length on most girls. I'm 5' 5" and a 23" shirt would reach my upper thigh. The advice of Canadian Muslim is to layer a dress over the T-Shirt as is the latest fashion.
