I recently got a 2 piece overhead French style jilbab from allzons.com, run by the sister at http://muhajabat.wordpress.com/ it’s slightly darker than the picture but that’s ok because I love this shade of blue. The quality is nice and it’s super modest! I tried it on with a light pink underscarf and a navy blue jacket and I love it, really I’m quite happy with it. I plan to wear it to the mosque for Friday prayers. I’ll share a picture when I wear it, maybe next Friday, since the kids are home sick from school today. As long as it’s not too warm next week…seriously, where has the winter gone? Winter, please come back, we need some rain and cold weather, I need to wear my winter coats a few more times…
Anyways, I’ve always wanted one of these overhead French jilbabs, I remember as a new Muslimah I saw some pictures of sisters in France wearing them and I thought they looked so beautiful and serene in them. But one, I didn’t know where to get one, and two I was always so worried about what other people will think. But I realize that I will never be happy if I sit here and worry about what everyone else is thinking and I’m tired of doing things or wearing things for other people. I want to wear things I like, things that will please Allah, I want to do things I want to do, not what other people expect or want me to do. Even my husband said, regarding something else, ‘Do you like it? Then wear it.’
