The dark green hijab is so contrasted with the festive florals that it seems someone has pasted a Muslim woman's head onto the body of a folksy German lady! (It's the pleats and the sleeves!) BUT it still looks quite good, not bad at all.
Very nicely designed. And by the standards of society at large, very modest Subhan Allah. Evidently this girl believes that that gets the point across as far as hijab is concerned...
I really like the dress and she has tied her hijab so nicely. The outfit would have been even better if the cardigan she is wearing was long sleeved and the trousers were a looser fit.
what a nice style! i found this style here in Bali, Indonesia, where the moslem girls wearing such colorful floral dresses, cardigans, and hijabs. pretty chic! i like it!
Hijabs High is inspired by the stylish and dynamic global community of Muslim women who fuse their identities and pronounce their place in the world everyday through beauty and fashion.
It is my hope that this blog inspires, motivates and encourages Muslims and non-Muslims alike to revisit their perceptions of the "look" of Muslim women who wear the veil and encourage us all to be a little bit more fabulous.
To the chic gang of Hijabs High photographers - you know who you are - thanks for doing it all with grace and panache. :)
Finally, Hijabs High owes a debt to The Sartorialist, who first helped focus our cameras on the everyday. Thank you.
