Rayyan's Eleventh Outfit - Jalabia substitute

Rayyan never wears the more covering Muslima styles of dress like abaya, jilbab or long duster but I'm sure some of you do. Here's two lovely orange options from Ahad-Ahad in the tune of Rayyan's Eleventh Outfit - Shirt and Skirt

Ahad-Ahad's Jalabia for women made of curly chiffon fabric adorned with elegant sparkling colors for USD$80

Ahad-Ahad's Sound of Dawn Jalabia in Same Color as Photo for USD$120

This is not a usual feature in my blog, just a trial, if you like this idea of fuller coverage substitutes for Rayyan's outfits please comment on the outfits you would like fuller coverage versions of or request a general introduction of fuller coverage options.

Rayyan's Eleventh Outfit - Shirt and Skirt

This is the same wrap top as Rayyan's Ninth Outfit - Top but its pumpkin! Remember muhajabat if you find a piece of modest clothing that you like, buy it in as many colors as suit you. Again this is a rare item with a buckle wrap in an unusual color so I stuck with the color as the priority when finding substitutes.

Remember to order one size larger for this more fitted style Sierra Trading Post's Woolrich Maylene Shirt USD$14.95
Or try this less shaped embroidered number Sierra Trading Post's Aventura Clothing by Sportif USA Mallory Shit USD$31.95

Rayyan's skirt - from what is visible, is a brown basic, try this skirt:


This Orvis Linenwease Pull-On Skirt USD$29 is great when you are in a hurry, no zips or buttons to fiddle with

Rayyan's Eleventh Outfit - Scarf

This scarf goes wonderfully with Rayyan's coloring, its a pumpkin and chocolate shayla with tassles.

Star Scarves' Brown and Orange Contemporary Dots with Free Large Under Scarf USD$16

The Hijab Shop's Orange Viscose Pashmina £6.25

Rayyan's Tenth Outfit - Shirt

This shirt is a long sleeve long button up in a pale brown. I won't do a post on this scarf as Rayyan has worn it before, see Rayyan's Seventh Outfit Scarf

Here's some options

al-Farah's Shimmering Cotton Pants Sets US$29.99 We don't see the trousers in Rayyan's outfits but this would be a nice pair of trousers to wear with a shirt like this.

An option for colder areas or those who like jilbab coverage:

al-Farah's Khaki Duster in Khaki US$49.99

Rayyan's Ninth Outfit - Skirt

Here's Rayyan's skirt from this outfit, its a long dark blue godet skirt, it could be denim but I'm not sure.

Here's a good option:
100% Cotton Denim Godet Skirt US$59.95

Here's some other fun options from Coldwater Creek, both 35" long so if you are tall these are not for you. Take one of your skirts in this a-line shape and check that 35" would be long enough for you.
Piecework Skirt US$29.99
Batik-look print skirt US$29.99

Rayyan's Ninth Outfit - Scarf - Update!

Check out this wonderful option provided by an anon commenter:


Veiled by Design's Magenta & Olive Floral Print on Black 21" x 71" Rectangular Scarf for US$17.99

And the original, they are so similar:

Comment's like anons that find us another scarf option to copy Rayyan are what I would love to see more of at the blog. Anon - please contact me on the email in my profile, I would like to give you a prize for helping me out.

Apologies

Salaam alaikum, peace be upon my lovely readers. I have just moved to a new city straight after end of year assignments and exams, and started by first full time job. It is very busy and I haven't had much time for blogging. Inshallah I'll get onto some more Rayyan centered postings. Today however I'm going to show you a work outfit I built using polyvore an outfit creator. I've tried to do it on Rayyan based outfits but I find that its very difficult to get items that are both the closest to Rayyan's and are in a useful format for polyvore (they need to be just the item straight on with a white background to look good).

Click on the pictures below to get shopping details for the items. I've put hijab links at the bottom as they are what makes our fashion special and also as Star Scarves links that polyvore picks up just link to the picture with no way to access the Star Scarves online shop. As with everything in a hijab outfit, make sure to choose loose clothing items

I hope you all don't mind getting the odd off topic posting but I just find that posting a non-Rayyan outfit that I have worn myself helps me remotivate myself to make Rayyan based postings. Anyway, hear you are, please comment if you would rather I never made off topic postings.


The top hijab is a Star Scarves Brown Floral shayla with a floral print for US$13.99, which matches the dress. A shayla gives a more voluminous look so is more casual than an amira. The lower hijab is a Star Scarves Dark Brown with Embroidery Al-Amira Hija for US$11.99, it closely matches the coat color. An amira is great to throw on if you are in a hurry but its also a more conservative look.

Work out what suits your workplace best, I have personally found that a hijab in any muted color (i.e. not pink with sequins) looks formal with work clothing.
