“And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear therof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, or their brothers’ sons or their sisters’ sons, or their women or the servants whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex, and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers, turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.” (Quran 24:31).
In accordance to the aforementioned Qur'anic verse, women in Islam should dress modestly--long dresses, hijab and long sleeves. Being modest though doesn't only mean the physical entity but this should also coincide with our behaviors. Others have this misconception that Muslim women are only to wear black abaya in order to fulfill modesty, BUT, my dear friends, that is so wrong. We, Muslimahs, can also be equally fashionable and modest. Yes, we can!! I have been so into Muslim fashion blogs, mostly are from Indonesia and Malaysia, whose garments are easily found in the nearby malls in our country, so I thought of sharing my ideal fashion that I've been dying to wear. All of these photos are from Dian Pelangi's blog, an Indonesian fashion designer, blogger and model.
It's kinda difficult wearing these stuff in the metro due to the weather but Inshaa Allah, the humidity shall not hinder me from wearing such. In Marawi though, this is not uncommon because we got the coolest weather down in the south. :)
AHEM. And this, my friends, is my European fashion and travel dream. *replace her face with mine* :p
Problem here in the Philippines is, aside from the weather, it's difficult to find tops that don't show at least 50% of your flesh. I always drool at pretty tops which are either bare back, sleeveless or transparent!! Waaaah!! I always end up buying nothing. :'(

This is my fashion dream which, Inshaa Allah, shall be put into reality. *winks* :)
