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!

Perfectly Plaid

A high fashion set for the hijabi who's ready for winter. Why not purchase a plaid coat this season? This bright blue allows you to wear it in many ways- go blue, black, even GOLD with this look.

The pleated high waisted straight leg pant is really high fashion this season - so if you're looking for something in that direction, this is it! I saw them at H&M last summer, and I wish I bought them (we don't have an H&M here) :(. Insha allah next time I come across them I def will!!


Where to shop:

Jacket and trouser- Marc Jacobs
ankle boots and clutch- forever21.com

Grunge

I love grunge!

Be your own stylist:
- loose cardigan over licensed tee
- faded loose denim
- sneaker (converse will put you a foot up fashionably, but sportin any sneaker you love will keep you stompin ground)
- belt to keep yourself looking put together
- hijab tied loosely will top the look off!

Now you're thinking.. alright asma, what's the vintage chanel bag doing in there?? what can I say? Sisters, it was a Carrie Bradshaw instinct.

Eid Outfits

Tunics are great for hijabis- any time of the year. I included two in the outfits above. The outfits above highlight a few ideas to consider for your Eid outfits:
- trouser or skirt to create streamline effect
- clutch
- gloves (yes for indoors)
-statement making heels
- bow ties on your tunic
- pashmina scarf to tie loosely



HIJABIFASHIONISTA Caution:
With most tunics, (unless their fabric allows them to just hang off your shoulders) your frame seems really broad. SOOO if you tie your hijab tightly, your head will look hella small. Wear your hijab loose, in a khaleeji style, or with an underscarf and it stylishly tossed around your head!

A Vintage Eid

So you're feeling like going to the prayer covered, and fabulously vintage. yuuum I love just saying the word. "Vintage". It's so soothing, is it not?


I especially love the outfit on the right because I love the scarf. Stores are sporting this hood scarf now because "it's cold in the winter but I hate wearing hats", ALSO perfect for us hijabis. Wear an underscarf underneath it and casually put it on. With a dress in a tweedy knit, you'll look so winter fabulous!

Vintage Ideas:
- Long gloves
- vintage clutches and bags
- chunky bracelets
- tweed
- heels with fabric

The two ways I created the outfits to work with dresses:
Long sleeve shrugs
Long sleeve top underneath
