Recently I came back from Hurghada in Egypt and my goodness it was boiling over there!
I found wearing my usual two layers of clothes (under top and then main top) was waaay to hot to do so I decided to just wear scarves draped over me (asian inspired) to cover the necessary parts of my upper body lol.
Here are some pics to show you what I mean and hopefully give you some ideas too! There are many ways you can tie a scarf around you and make it look like you've got a nice flowy top on! All it takes is about five minutes experimenting in front of a mirror! All you Indians/Pakistanis/Bengalis and any one else who wears sarees or salwar Kameez as a traditional outfit should all be natural experts in this! lol.
I hope this little post has given you guys inspiration of some sort! If you like, you can post your pics of how your wear neck/body scarfs on my fan page to share with every one!

| So this is a scarf I have which is kind of annoying to wear on the head, so I draped it over my shoulders and let it hang over my tummy. Underneath I'm just wearing one of those black under tops. Result I was not over heated! Also my yellow chinos are from primark! Or better known as 'Primani'. |

| So here all I've done is draped one side over my shoulder and the other side has been tucked into my harem pants! Kind of remind myself off alladin here haha |

| You've already seen this pic on my fan page.. so it's just draped around my neck and shoulders and I've made sure to keep my main scarf hanging out so I don't look like I'm trying to stay warm! |

LOVE your harem pants. It's so hard to find a decent pair where I live at the moment. At first glance I thought you were wearing a jumpsuit kind of thing. But you look so wonderful, as always, mashallah.
ReplyDeleteI love this post. I used to rely on little black cardigan sweaters to bring my outfits up to code. Then I went to my family reunion and nearly passed out sick from the heat, more embarrassing b/c I am the only Muslim woman in my family and I didn't want to make us look like silly twits. I ended up wearing a very airy silk scarf over my shoulders, arms, chest, etc. It is tie-dyed and looked kind of like butterfly wings in the wind. With all the scarves I have laying around it blew my mind that I'd never thought of using them for coverage before. Of course now I do that even when I'm not on vacation. You look fabulous, Mashallah!
ReplyDeleteI really like the mustard pants! But they would make my legs look so fat hahaha :D
