OOTD: Chillin’ at a festival in my Jilbab Makkah.

 Asalaamu alaikum and Hello dear readersโ€ฆ

Today I took the kidlet and went down to a children’s festival that has been going on for the past few days. It was a lot of fun, and I ended up plopping down at the local masjid’s tent and hanging out with some of the sisters I know (hey, you have to rest after walking for a few hours, don’t you?)

Here are a few snaps from today. I wore my rather heavenly Jelbab Makkah from Al Moultazimoun. Really… it’s sooo refreshingly light and airy, I can’t get enough of it! I just wore it over my typical summer style of jeans and a tee. I wore a pale blue headband under the jelbab with just a wee bit peeking out and of course my comfy sneakers and well-traveled Paquetage cross-body purse. Super simple, easy, airy and very comfortable!

While we were hanging out at the masjid tent, these two teenaged sisters came by to help out, and I could not resist snapping some pictures of their styles… First, I LOVED both of their outfits, and two, I always get so happy and excited when I see a teenaged Muslimah dressing like a proper hejabi in an overgarment or clothing that covers like an overgarment! I am just not down with letting one’s kids dress crazy just because they are teenagers! I thought both had such style… mash’Allah. I’m loving the Converse sneakers, btw… I think I wanna get myself some of those sometime, insha’Allah.

This sister does some very pretty calligraphy, here she is practicing. mash’Allah. I was getting her to write my sons name so I could put it on his wall.

Thanks for reading! You know I love feedback and hearing from my Readers so please feel free to leave me a comment or two.

  1. Oh my gosh, those teens’ outfits are awesome, Masha’Allah! I love everything about them!

  2. Mashallah I wish getting my own teen to dress modestly wasn’t such a battle. I honestly wonder how some moms do it?? I really love their look and yours as usual!

    1. Haha, yes, it’s me! And the hoodie/skirt outfit was my favorite! Now I must find a way to recreate it… ๐Ÿ™‚
