Pictures From Paris

These are a couple of my Paris pictures, I know it’s rather surprising to see me in bright colour.  When I chose this outfit I didn’t realise quite how much fluff the cardigan would leave on my jeans.  So I had to put away my bright cardigan for another day, and another outfit, at least I managed to snap these before the evidence was lost forever!

I really want a new hat, but this may be a little too conspicuous. Hmm, maybe I’ll keep looking. How about a deerstalker? Perhaps I should give it a go.

Painterly

After a short recess the Hijabi Sketchbook is back, the inspiration image was taken from the More Dash than Cash feature in September 09 British Vogue. I mostly chose it for the hat, which I know is a stupid reason, but I really like the paint splatter. The houndstooth makes a great focus for a maxi skirt (very English heritage), and the styling is great.

More Dash Than Cash Hijab Style

There wasn’t too much to adjust, just making it a long skirt and pulling the shirt sleeve down a few inches. With a polo neck underneath (and headscarf of course). I also put together a video demo of how I created the sketch. Much edited, it now fits into 3 and a half minutes of video! I’ll post it up next week inshAllah, I hope you like it.
