DESIGNER HIJAB STYLE : SILK HIJABS AND LONG SKIRTS

We Love Hijab is back with more hijab and fashion ideas from ideeli. If you’re not familiar with ideeli, it is equivalent to a TJ Maxx or a Marshalls in that it offers huge discounts on designer clothes. The difference is that ideeli’s sales are for a limited-time only.

Today’s sale features beautiful long skirts and 100% silk scarves by a company called Love Shop. The silk scarves come in several pretty colors and prints, including the rose print hijabs pictured above. The long skirts come in a couple different colors as well, but there is also a white tiered skirt that I think is a great hijab style staple for Spring.

ideeli is an invitation-only website so you’ll have to register to see more styles from Love Shop. Here’s your personal invitation. Sign up (it’s free)!

A reader on Muslimette.com left an interesting comment today, which reads:

“You’re right – non-muslims don’t have much problem with the hijab. It’s muslim girls and women who are ‘ashamed’ of it in a way. To some people, wearing a hijab is akin to slumming it, like not living up to what life is offering. But we have to face it – this life here is just a transition spot for the true believing Muslim. Sad and such a shame they cannot realize that…” -Z.

I have been wearing hijab since I was about 12 or 13 years-old and I can honestly say that I’ve heard more negative comments about it from Muslim women than from non-Muslims. None of these women actually wore the hijab and their reasons for not doing so range from “the hijab makes my hair fall out” to “I will start wearing hijabs once I’m out of college”… I wouldn’t say that I’ve heard a lot of these comments, but I’ve heard enough of them. On the other hand, I’ve only heard one or two negative comments about hijab from non-Muslims in my entire life (not counting the stupid things that a few people have said in my blog comments).


What about you? Do you agree or disagree with Z’s statement? Have you encountered more Muslim women who dislike the hijab or more non-Muslims who have a problem with it? If possible, please let us know what country you live in so that we can get a feel for what it’s like in different parts of the world.

DESIGNER HIJAB STYLE : SILK HIJABS

In case you haven’t heard of it, ideeli is an invitation-only shopping website that offers limited-time sales events on designer brands at deep discounts. My sister invited me to join the site 2 weeks ago and I’ve been addicted to it ever since. I check it every day to see if they’ve got anything on sale that’s cute and hijab-worthy and today I made a great find! They’re selling silk scarves by Christian Lacroix! I don’t really care about labels, but some people do, and either way the scarves are really pretty. The one above is $54, but you can’t check it out unless you’re a member of ideeli. Here’s your personal invitation. Sign up (it’s free) and let me know what styles you got, if any.
