Asalaamu alaikum and Hello dear readers…
I came up with a rather Boho-y summery half jilbab and skirt style for school today. It was fantastically breezy and comfortable!
This blue half jelbab is my favorite so far; it’s a medium-light, cornflower-ish blue. I only got the top piece, no matching skirt, so I could pair it with my Al-Mujalbaba black peachskin skirt or a navy skirt or whatever else may strike my fancy. I threw it over a flounced, patterned skirt from Old Navy. It looks kind of “Irani Bakhtiari tribal” style, if I may say so myself, because the women wear these types of patterned flounced skirts and usually have on a long tunic with side slits, so it looks rather similar. Honestly, I had never considered pairing a patterned skirt with a half jelbab since I always just wear the matching skirt that comes with the half jelbabs (if you buy the set) or, at most, a black peachskin skirt… LOL. I thought maybe it would come off as kind of silly looking, but no, I really liked the urban-y, boho, unique look of the two items paired together.
I wore it weith light blue arm covers and a white underscarf. For in class, because they have the air cranked up, a grey cardigan. Outside it was scorching hot, the air flow was FANTASTIC!! wow!
Although I bought the skirt in the store, it can be had online! I think the skirt really is awesomely comfortable and soo breezy and light!
Thanks for reading! You know I love feedback and hearing from my Readers so please feel free to leave me a comment or two.

I have the exact same skirt. I love it, it really is very light and perfect for hot days. That cornflower color of the half-jilbab is gorgeous, Masha’Allah!
Yah I LOVE the skirt too, I got it the past weekend and have worn it like every day and I am NOT skirt person at all, but its actually comfortable and long enough, but not soo long I trip and it doesnt fly up! The cornflower…yes, its very nice, very summery…mash’Allah.
Can I call dibs on the jelbab and the shalee chador? I haven’t been able to buy the chador because i’m waiting for my income tax return. Inshallah I’ll have it this week.
Can I call dibs on the 2 piece jelbab? Inshallah in a couple days when I get my tax return I’ll be buying the shalee chador too I hope.
Yes sister, just let me know…I’ll keep it down until you let me know. OK.
As Salaam Alaykum:-) I hope every one is well….this question is for Umm Ibrahim: Will Allzons carry sarouels w/Jilbab in the near future?
wa alaikum as salam…sister it really depends…I need to move more of my stock out and need summer vacation! LOL. I was planning to do so, but then decided against it as I just dont have much time…im in med-surg right now and its taking even more of my time away. we’ll see come summer…I will try…but I dont know right now.
Wa aleikoum salam, i’m a french jilbab wearer for a long time and never had the idea to wear it with differents skirts! It’s a good idea, your outfit is really beautiful machaAllah. I have to find a skirt wearable for this purpose.
Looks really nice!
very stylish masha’allah. wish I could find this type of skirts where I live.
salaam
Salaams,
This totally reminds me of one of your back in the day pics (remember when you had that boho chic pic visiting DC??)
Ok now onto business: so if we’re interested in one of the styles posted, how do we check it out again? I can’t remember the process, and since I have three email addresses 😉 for you, not sure which one to use.
I love the look of a different skirt w/ the half jilbabs. I actually bought a bunch of the jilbabs, just the top parts and then bought a grey and black ruffled / tiered skirt from al moultazimoun and I love the style. The skirt adds some flavor and I love wearing a navy top w/ a grey skirt, or a grey top w/ a black skirt etc… I got all neutral colors so everything can be mixed and matched.
yah it adds some urban panache…doesnt it!
