A Hijabi's Take on Breakfast at Tiffany's

If you don't already know, I'm in love with the movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's. Just watching it is a feast for any fashionista's eyes.


The inspiration for this outfit came from the very first scene where she climbs out of a taxi cab and walks up to a Tiffany store window. Below:


Her hands are full, it's early morning, and I just lllllooooooove it! So I hijabified it!
I'm in love with trench coats for spring. Why not go for a light, breezy one like the above? The diamonds she usually wears on her head, I put on her feet (no ladies, I was not going to make you put diamond clips on your hijab or something equally weird that I would most likely advise you to do.) WAIT A MINUTE! That sounds kinda nice. wait for it.. YES! I like it! A brooch on your hijab! DOOOO IT!
The long gloves complete a look of elegance you can acheive in a few seconds in your quick, morning routine. With a clutch and newspaper under your arm, juggling a coffee (not from starbucks), and croissant- or whatever else you like (I'll eat anything haha)- you'll look gorgeous sporting an outfit inspired by a fashionista's fav classic!

Hijabi Romantics

High waisted trousers are still in, ladies! Bask in the hijabiness! hahahaha. Add a thin belt to very top, as a transition piece from the blouse to the stark white in the trouser. I love these heels, they're so off of Whitney's feet from The City. I added the lipstick because I love a light pink on the lips- especially with a white hijab, you'll just glow!

Layering in Spring

HOW TO WEAR THIS OUTFIT:

jacket over white blouse.
Belt over blouse- positioned around waist (look at the model on the left)

As you know, I love the wiiiiiiiiiide leg trouser, and they're perfect for the warmer weather as they don't stick to you! Because we're layering, you don't want to wear pieces that cling - you won't feel comfortable at all! Jjust because it's spring, I'm not letting go of the fringe! But tone it down a tad- just a little on a bag or a decorative touch on footwear (like the heels above)!

Now, tie your hijab in a turkish style so as not to let the material hang over your top and cover the beautiful details on the blouse!
