MW's Mingling with Magnolia's OOTD

Hi Whirlers!

Hope all are well, insha`Allah! The weekend went by ever so quickly, but I managed to grab a few shots in front of this gorgeous Magnolia tree!

We all love it when its Spring. Its the perfect opportunity to bring out the bright and light clothes that you have been hibernating over the, what seems a rather long and tedious, winter. So, when I saw sunshine this weekend, I leapt at the opportunity to do exactly this. Keeping with the spring vibe, I matched my dusty pink blouse with a vibrant blue maxi skirt and layered over my trusty oversized cardigan.

I love layering, so I always feel Spring is the ideal season to do this because you can experiment with different colour combinations, and wear light jackets over it as its not quite warm to go without the jacket, but its not cold enough for a full on winter coat!

Layering is definitively something crucial for modest fashion, as we tend to layer without even realising. When we wear that sleeveless maxi dress over a long sleeved basic tee. Even to wearing two different scarves at the same time - so we all do it! Whats your favourite layered look? I love creating different looks!

Anyway, have a look at my outfit, definitely one of my favourite ones so far!

I`ve been busy recently, but made time to go to a family friend's walima and I wore this cream dipped hem salwar kameez. What do you think of it? It was difficult to find the perfect colour hijab as I didn`t want to wear cream on my head - #firstworldhijabiproblems, eh?

Salwar Kameez: Green St

Shoes: Unze

Hijab: Whitechapel Market

MW's Ethical Evergreen OOTD

Hello Whirlers,

I`ve been MIA, so I apologise for that - I hope all are well and have been chilling (literally, its April and its STILL snowing?!)

Today was graced with some sunshine, so I thought I would share an OOTD with you - to get you into the spring/summer spirit!

Now, I`m sure everyone is aware of the new H&M campaign, which is called the 'Conscious Collection' - it is everywhere from the TV, to magazines to billboards and Vanessa Paradis is the face of the collection - so you can`t have missed it! The concept is basically making clothes out of sustainable material and only H&M would be able to make green clothes look awesome! The collections is made out of organic cotton and recycled polyester - which is great, as going green is the way to go!

The items in this collection are seriously amazing and if I had enough money I would have bought so many more pieces, but this maxi dress (and, a blazer which isn`t in this post) will have to do for now.

Check out the rest of the beautiful pieces on the H&M website.

Here is how I`ve created an outfit with the maxi dress:
