A Sunday Afternoon...

  بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم   Shall I begin by saying today has turned out to be a lovely spring day. Yesterday for some reason Cape Town decided to trick with a cold winters day that was just rather confusing. Moving on to this outfit I have here. It is just so comfortable and cool I absolutely love this! Perfect for a really relaxed Sunday afternoon, whether you going to the beach, shopping or even a family lunch. As you may notice there is not really a lot of patterns going on. Keeping it simple but interesting by doing three layers. Normally you won't make three layers with a skirt but I think it looks unique.  All the materials I have on are thin and light. The layers go from white to turquoise to cream. I paired this with a silk scarf around my neck, a brown turban and some very comfortable cavemen sandals.  Photo Credit : Nuha Adams

Alhamdulliah we had a lovely blessed day.   I am going to be honest and say it was, well normal seeing everyone there. We are a close, tight family and see each other every weekend.  On to my outfit. I wore a dark green pants with a peachy flowy shirt and a  beautiful ,light creamy cardigan. Adding colour with my green, red and pink scarf and finally my favorite nude wedges .  Since I was playing photographor for the day I managed to arrive early and take a few sneeky pictures.

    بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم   السلام عليكم Photo Credit goes to Nishaat Isaacs  Firstly I should apologize because I have definitely been neglecting my blog, but now I am back and ready to post like crazy! Since we are on the verge of summer here in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa I am so ready for all the bright, fun  and also cool, pastel colours. One thing that is without a doubt always a summer must have are crop tops. Now being a hijaabi this is obviously not easy to wear. That is why I will always stick to my layers, I do not think I will be me without layering my clothing. I know a lot of people don't like layering because all they can think about is what an effort and how hot it is. I believe with the right materials you can keep cool and look amazing! Let us start with a jeans, comfy and casual. I paired it up with a long cream top which has a lovely gold shimmer to it. Then added a flowy crop top and popped on my netted pink collar to give me tha
