Dear friends of LAKI,
Let's start with the essentials of self expression: Personal Style!
Personal expression through fashion style is a joyous and natural way off communicating yourself to the world. It is the most simple way of putting your signature out there, and telling people all about you. No matter how much we deny it, the fact remains that our personal style is the ultimate statement telling others what we are all about. It is therefore extremely important to decide what you want to tell others about you, and start styling yourself from there!
This is where Hijab comes in for the Muslim Woman. Ultimately, we want to please Allah by adopting the dress code that Allah bestowed upon us as guardian-as of earth. Therefore, your clothes should be fashionably modest and should say: "I am a Muslimah!" Further styling decisions will be based on categories and details you add to this statement. For example, my statement is "I am a Muslimah! I am on earth to witness the magic of love and learn about Allah's creations. I want to build a beautiful family and make beautiful clothes inspired by Allah artistry in color." I hope that my personal style expresses that...
It is essential to determine what you want to tell people about yourself. Start with writing your personal statement down... and with further posts we will discuss how to make yourself shine through! Please do share with us your statement of personal style...
In comical demonstration off the impact of personal style, above is an image created by a syrian caricaturist about the hijab styles found on the syrian street. This image is posted here merely for demonstration. I do not agree with the cannotations behind the stereotyping that he has done - but I do find it very funny! Let's ensure that your hijab (or no hijab) is sending out the right signals!
