MW's Khaki Killa Heels OOTD

Hey Whirlers,

Hope you`re all well.

It was my birthday over the weekend so I had an excuse to dress up (!), I opted for a dipped dress in khaki,  which is currently my favourite colour! I`m loving dipped dresses at the moment, also. They`re perfect for modesty and fab for petite girls, as you won`t trip over the front hem!

What do you think of my outfit?

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!

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:

What I wore:

Maxi Dress: H&M

Blazer: Forever 21

Scarf: Red Butterfly

Wedges: Guess

Clutch: Some Italian Brand

Belt: Republic

Accessories: H&M/StreetPrincess

So, what do you think of the outfit? How else would you style the dress? I think next time I`ll be more subtle and wear a beige cardigan.

Have you purchased anything from the collection?

MW's Dusty Pink Date Night OOTD

Hi Whirlers!

I haven`t done an OOTD for a while, so I thought I would do one of those instead of making you suffer hearing my voice, hehe. 

So, this is a smart casual outfit that I would probably wear on an evening out with friends or a date night.

I paired a black maxi skirt with a black studded belt and to dress it up I wore a dusty pink with black lapels blazer and matching hue court shoes.

Vest: H&M

Skirt: H&M

Belt: Zara

Blazer: H&M

Hijab: H&M

Shoes: Next

Accessories: H&M

Wow - I shop in H&M too much :/

What do you think? How else would you wear the blazer?

MW's Feminine Fierce OOTD

Whirlers, 

If you follow me on Instagram, then you`ll know, I recently purchased beautiful studded boots:

So, over the weekend, I incorporated them into my outfit as I was dying to wear them! They are surprisingly comfortable for Zara. And, at the moment they are £16.99 on the website!

Studs and spikes isn`t my usual attire, so I kept it feminine with a floral blouse and a long pleated maxi skirt. As you can see, I wore the floral blouse and funky belt from my recent goodies post! I`m seriously loving this belt - literally finding any excuse to put it on. 

What do you think? 

Blouse: Next

Skirt: Jane Norman

Belt: Next

Boots: Zara

Hijab: H&M

How else do you think I could rock the boots?

MW's Winter Wonderland OOTD

Whirlers,

Hope you`re all staying safe if you`re faced with snow! Its slightly embarrassing living in Southern England, where a slightest bit of snow we all go into standstill! Anybody else get frustrated with that??

Evidently the camera had to come out with the beautiful scenes around the area!

This is what I wore to face the cold. 

I`m not sure why I have my hands on my snood in EVERY photo, I apologise. I must of thought it looked cute haha.

I`m loving my Next overcoat - its so warm, fits like a glove and just perfecto! I love Next because they  are one of the few high street stores that offer petite range and wide fit shoes - which I need both, being 5ft and size 4 wide feet - I`m always buying items from there for my everyday wardrobe. So, when I found this gorgeous camel overcoat - I was TOTALLY ecstatic and put this in my 'shopping basket' ridiculously quickly!

Its perfect because I can wear it casually with my biker boots and I can wear it to work, where I wear smart attire - like I said, perfecto!

T-Shirt - H&M

Trousers - Dorothy Perkins

Overcoat - Next

Boots - New Look

Gloves - John Rocha

Scarf - eBay

Snood - H&M

What are you wearing to stay warm this winter?

MW's Seeing Swallows OOTD

Hey Whirlers, 

Hope all are well :)

I did make another video of my recent shopping purchases, but it took ALL day to SAVE, I just dread to know how long it will take to upload on YT! So, I may give it a miss. In the video, I mention my recent obsession with TK Maxx, and I show you the dress in this post as one of my recent purchases. 

Its a high low dress, which I think is great for modest fashion! I understand this style is difficult to wear when they`re designed for legs to be exposed, but, worn with slim trousers or a tube maxi skirt, we can create an even better look (as we all know, less is more), a much more sophisticated look - and, lets be frank - we`re much warmer!

So, I paired the dress with slim trousers, heels to add length as I think the dress does need height to pull it off well (due to the dipped hem) and a belt to nip in the waist. 

Dress - Tk Maxx (Band of Gypsies)

Trousers - Primark

Underdress - H&M

Shoes - New Look

Belt - F21

Accessories - H&M and F21

Hijab - eBay

What do you think?

MW's Burgundy Blogger OOTD

Hey Whirlers,

Here is my OOTD from the Bloggers lunch. 

Photos are courtesy of Aalia.

I wore my favourite grey maxi skirt again, with an oversized cardigan I picked up from Paris, over a white button up shirt. I love wearing oversized cardigans with sleeves peeking out as I love the layered look. I added my leopard print belt to add something different to the outfit.

This winter I have totally used and abused my brown Deichmann studded biker boots. They are just SO comfortable and go with so many of my outfits - I can`t resist!! I promise I will try the grey skirt with a burnt orange top soon and share with you!! 

Shirt - H&M

Cardigan - Le Chateau

Skirt - eBayKarma Clothing HQ

Boots - Deichmann

Hijab - H&M

Belt - New Look

Are there any types of outfits you`d like to see me try out? Like, office wear, casual, formal, etc etc? 

Or, do you have a specific type of post you`d like me to do? Comment below or email me! :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful break from work/school - we all deserve to just curl up with hot chocolate for a week!!

MW's Hunting for Green OOTD

Hello Whirlers,

Longline blazers are fantastic to keep modest yet warm in the colder months, so when I found this amazing one in Forever 21, I did not hesitate on the purchase. I absolutely adore it, and its in Hunter Green which is on trend this season. I wore a leopard print belt to break up the outfit, but I think burgundy also looks fantastic with hunter green.

This outfit can so easily be worn in the office. I think I might do that next week.

Blazer: F21

Trousers: Zara

Shoes: M&S

Belt: New Look

What do you think? Yay or nay to longline blazers?

MW's Cosy Charcoal OOTD

Hello Whirlers, kem cho?

Sorry I`ve been MIA for a while...hope all are well! 

I`m going to be at Smoky not Smudgy on the 17th - will you be there? Would be great to see you! Let me know if you`re going!! :)

---

Autumn is finally creeping on us, with the golden leaves on our drives, the icy mornings, the earlier Maghrib azaan and the warmth of hot chocolate. This can only mean, all my favourite colours come out to play! 

I recently purchased a charcoal grey maxi skirt, which I am absolutely obsessed with. It goes with so many different hues of colour which I am discovering when I play around creating new outfits. A favourite colour combination of mine with grey is...burgundy. This is great as its such an on trend colour this season. It not only adds warmth to a dull hue (the grey) it just looks so cosy!

I`ve also dug out my snoods from the back of my cupboard, so yay - even more cosy time for me!

What do you think of my outfit?

Tshirt - H&M

Cardigan - Zara

Skirt - eBay

Bag - Matalan

Shoes - Deichmann

Accessories - H&M/Forever 21

Also, a fun photo which I uploaded onto Instagram:

What other colour combinations go with grey? 

(So, I have even more excuse to wear this maxi skirt!)

Also, are you going to SnS this year??

P.S. Have you seen my pics from my trip to Paris? Here and here.

MW's Pin(e)ing for Paris OOTD

Bonjour Whirlers,

Ça va?

I went to Paris and had a magical time!! I took PLENTY of photos which I shall share later this week, but here is an outfit I wore on the trip:

HUNTER GREEN:

Massive this fall. Absolutely adore this shade! I want to buy so many items this colour! Wearing it with black makes it look that much more gorgeous, in my opinion!

This is me in front of the Louvre Museum. 

Blouse: Forever 21

Waiscoat: H&M

Skirt: H&M

Hijab: eBay

Bag: Zara

Boots: New Look

What do you think about hunter green? So fall, right?

MW's Monochrome Madness OOTD

Whirlers,

Hope everyone is well. I recently went to a Walima and I finally had a chance to grab some shots of my outfit before running to the car, so I thought I`d share with you:

(click on photos to enlarge)

Sari: Damini's

Hijab: eBay

Shoes: French Connection

Jewellery: Bees

I like to keep my sari's really simple, so its comfortable to run around in at weddings, etc. I`m not a fan of excessively embroidered borders, etc. I know I will be a nightmare when I`m choosing my wedding outfits - hah. 

What do you think of my outfit? Too simple for an Asian wedding?
