Traditional Muslimah Garb

    I wanted to talk briefly about the traditional way of dressing for Muslimahs.
As a new Muslimah, who was once a slave to the fashion world, its a bit of a struggle for me to dress in the traditional garb. Big shapeless abayas and khimars along with covering my latest wash and set with a hijab was truly a mortifying thought for me. As I began to study and learn more about why us Muslimahs should be covered up, I embraced it wholeheartedly. I must say, its a relief to walk down the street without some strange man undressing me with his eyes or shouting rude and vulgar obscenities at me. Its also an extra treat to think that only my future husband will be able to enjoy my physical beauty. Although I am still easing into the traditional way of dressing, I encourage all muslimahs to embrace the sunnah way of dressing. We are all here to please Allah (swt) first and foremost!!
Below I have on a traditional black abaya and hijab. I added a few cute pins to my hijab and topped it off with my favorite Chanel bag. What do you guys think?

The Controversial Dress

As'salaamu Alaikum and good day to you all...

Today was a special day for me because I saw my Abu and was able to make salaat with him for the very first time, Masha ‘Allah. It was an amazingly epic moment, Ahumduallah for that experience. Below is the outfit that I had on. A green vintage baby doll dress, 7 For All Mankind jeans, Steve Madden snake print oxfords, a black wool blazer, Chanel bag, and a cheetah print hijab.

Although it was one of my favorite modest outfits since converting, as I was able to incorporate my love for fashion with my love for Islam, it didn’t go over so well with the muslimahs from my local masjid. Apparently it isn’t sunnah enough and “I should consider dressing more modest” :0/ ...  I was told  my outfit is totally acceptable but now I’m not so sure. What do you think?

Let's Get Started

Welcome Sisters!
                Fashionable Muslimah  Stories is all about two Muslim sisters that would like to share their journey in Islam through fashion, life stories, and our personal opinions. We were born Muslim and after our parents divorced we stopped practicing. Twenty year laters, we have found our way back to our roots in Islam, Alhumdulillah. We are here to share our incredible stories through our love of fashion, family, music, diverse opinions, and qwirky comedic spins.
 
     Imani, the older more reserved sister is a 33 years old mother of 3 and wife of 1 :0/  (lol, there's that qwirky comedic spin)...  As a mother and wife, living in the suburbs of ATL, she has a more laid back, easy going lifestyle but, still has an edge to her from her time growing up in the streets of Brooklyn, NY. She loves fashion but is more of the everyday fashionista.
 
    Me (Bahiyah), the single, childless sister, is a 31 year old career women with 12 years of marketing experience, and a history that can make your head spin.  Being the wilder, untamed one allows me to push the boundaries and take you on an adventurous rollercoaster ride that you aren’t sure how you got on, but refuse to get off. My opinions and outlook on things is edgier and  caters to the fashionably trendy urban city girl.
 
     We are both new muslimahs trying to find our way back to our Islamic roots. While struggling to overcome the new challenges in our everyday life, we are embracing the only way of life for us.

Take this journey with us, as we learn new things, show you our modest fashion, change our diet (me more than Imani lol) and become the best Muslimahs we can be.
