Dress a Mannequin for a Hijabi Fall!

So I'm loving the dress a mannequin idea - what do you think?

Things to really note from this post:
--> big bags
--> belts belts belts!!
--> again, I took a summer dress and paired it with a loose cardigan!
--> ANKLE BOOTS! yeaaah!

HijabiFashionista Tip:
Wear your belt over the WHOLE outfit, not just over the dress and under the cardigan (which I usually instruct you to do in previous posts)

Thinking about how to tie your belt? Well, I'm never disappointed with BCBG and I'm loving the Max Azria belt loop . Try your belt out like this;

Layering in the Fall!!!

It's Fall??? Time to Layer up! I took the picture off of Free People. We don't have it here in Winnipeg but they did have it in California, and I loved the style so I decided to check it out once I got home. I loved this photo so here is free people hijabified!

I used the color palette in the inspiration piece to create my outfit.

I used a yellow dress that could have easily been worn in the summer (see? you don't need a whole new wardrobe! You just need to add pieces to make them suitable for fall fashion)

Knee high boots that will meet the dress are so perfect this season! If you're looking for a pair besides ankle boots, I would get a pair of these! All the sisters comment on adding tights so do that just in case!

Of course a long sleeve top underneath the dress - but unlike summer, I won't stop there for fall! I'm adding a cape cardigan on top of the dress to break up the bright color, tone it down a bit, and get you ready to walk out your door and greet the autumn leaves!

Slouchy is fierce.

I wanted to keep this one short! - I know, you're thinking - come on asma.. it's YOU. Short is just not possible. See? I'm rambling already! Anywayyyyyy unlike past seasons where a wide leg pant meant a structured pant - for fall, it's all about the crazy loose high waisted trouser!

On the left I put a structured pant with a loose top.. But this season, it's pretty much the opposite - you should go with slouchy pants, and then a structured top.

A STRUCTURED TOP?? sisters, as much as I'm sure we'd all love to, we can't all go crazy balenciaga - where (in my eyes) 'structured' defines their fall collection. So the easiest way to do this is wear a fitted blazer over a bright top.

WHY A BRIGHT TOP??? this season is really into deep colors, or gothic alexander mcqueen -ish style- but you can have a bright something in there somewhere (and i DON"T mean your hijab!).

HIJABIFASHIONISTA TIP:

To get the slouchy effect, go for a trouser one size bigger. Then it pleates in all the right places!

Dress a mannequin for a hijabi fall!

Yay for a new way for me to convey hijabifashion to you readers! I love mannequins and I would love to dress them! haha, I know it sounds silly and a bit creepy, but seriously. Who dresses the mannequins at stores? I would sure like to know!

So along with the deep reds that I love and that I discussed in my previous post - I'm loving the blue from the royal rainbow.

The mannequin was dressed in gray skinny jeans and studded boots. I'm thinking, alright... that's like an under-exaggerated kate moss - just baggier and higher boots- I'm thinking we up it a little on the chic factor and go with an ankle boot which I LOVE for fall. A gray trouser would work much better. All the fashionista's wear trousers ,... jeans are either going to get hella looser, or left out all together.

Her coat is nice, and if you have something like it in your closet, you can spice it up a bit with a thin belt like the one in the outfit I created.


HijabiFashionista tip for fall:
If you're confused on what blues to buy or what colors to go for at all - you don't HAVE to memorize the royal rainbow, but remember this; they're all berry colors.

The reds are deeper, the coats are chicer

Although I'm reluctant to let go of summer, I'm able to embrace fall because of it's fashion! My favorite thing about fall? The color pallete! Sisters, we have a lot to work with! I have to point out- crazy bright colors are not flattering for all skin shades, but deep ones (like this season is sporting) look great on EVERYONE! Yippee for me!

What colors to go for? Deep reds, violets, berry blues, ashy oranges, and emerald greens! or as I like to call them - Colors of the royal rainbow!

Here's an outfit I created that shows how we hijabifashionistas can work deep reds!

I went with a very typical fall outfit, but there are a few key things that are different about this season;

- leg warmers. Most girls these days rock 'em to a street style with skinny jeans and flats, but we hijabifashionistas like 'em to lengthen our ankle boots so we're covered to our calf length skirt.

SHOPPING MUST HAVE: ankle boots. Sisters, you need a pair this season.

SHOPPING MUST HAVE: a cute, light coat
