Slowly is okay as long as we istiqomah ;)

Bismillah and A very pleasant evening all.

Not to brag about how I became myself. Just a humble sharing. I myself am not at the best appearance in the eye of Allah and men. Some women they hesitate to change their looks, like how they cover themselves as oredered in the Quran. Some muslimaat are aware that what they wear do not fullfill the syari'aat but still, they continue doing what they do. I did those things too. Even now, I still do what I shouldn't do (eg. wearing bright attractive colors pieces of cloths). Sometimes what we intend in choosing attires confuses us by how we cover. Explain? Erm. For example, I wear things according to syari'aat, long sleeves, scarf covering the chest, skirt as to the ankles level and hand and feet socks. However I wear them in bright orang and dark red. I might have the thought that it might be okay because I am covering the whole body already so i won't mind wearing the bright colors already. Also, some muslimaat like to dress intentionally to dress or cover up and satisfy themselves with beautiful cloth pieces and not to attract men without realizing the fact that those satisfactory they felt, have actually attracted people's attention in silence. So beware. Lengthy introductory huhh. 

Well. Let's start with 2009. 

2009.

I wore jeans and bright colored blouses, mostly pink ones or thigh-short muslimaat tees. 2-3 inches heels. Bawal scarves (a square, single thread thick hijab, normally folded into a triangle. Even the double layered single thread thick hijab can show my earings). I liked ear rings which hangs on my ears so they move around (not okay!). Eye liners. Mascara. Eye shadows. Glossy handbag. Dressy right? -_-

2010.

Pretty tight jeans and bright colored proper muslimaat tees.Still, 2-3 inches heels. Bawal and awned scarves but a little bigger.  Eye liners. Mascara. Until one day my house burnt down and I had all the cosmetic things burnt down together so I was not in my mood to buy any anymore. I shall say alhamdulillah for that. =) and whatever handbag suits. 

2011.

This is the year I entered foundation. Still those jeans but not so tight anymore, also slacks. Proper muslimaat tees or Baju Kurung since it was compulsory to wear them on Mondays and Fridays. Awned scarves. All unless for functions, I prefer Bawals, worn with inner scarves or shawls. Heels were still my choice but started wearing flats due to the geographic condition of the campus. Eye liners and mascara but not compulsory. whatever handbag suits but variety. Arms and feet socks. Thanks to my best friend for the advise. 

2012. 

Less jeans.Slacks untill I fell couple times and tore my knees and of course the slack. Skirts. Muslimaat tees and blouses and Baju Kurung since I started office job. Shawls of various colors or the Syrian scarves or IDK the lycra ones, but in larger sizes . Flats. No eyeliners nor mascara.  Arms and feet socks. Variety handbags. 

2013.

Less jeans.Slacks. Skirts of variety colors.  Muslimaat tees, blouses and Baju Kurung to lectures on Mondays and Fridays at particular sizes according to the outfit cut itself. Shawls or Syrians or Lycra scarves at size at least XL, no bawals.  Flats and heels again. Mascara but not compulsory. Arms and feet socks. Variety handbags. ^^. 

2014 ahead. 

Hopefully istiqomah and much better, especially about color choosing. =)

but Muslimaat knows best how difficult it is to maintain with what we wear and how we behave. Some men they think being particular about outfits are insignificant. If they ready themselves slowly, they consider it something very petty. Not important. Whilst those insignificant things, if they are not properly done, where would our Jannah go? Jannah won't wait. Na'uthubillah. So it is okay to change slowly. It is okay to get ready slowly. As long as we cover ourselves. and as long as we are not attracting the non-mahrams. as long as we do not dress too much, put on make ups too thick and accordingly t the syari'aat. ;)

Also, if you are thinking of buying something new and better, never deny the fact that you can always give away ur clothes, whatever it is to the need ones. ^^. And give also something you like and love to wear which is new and good and comfy. They deserve to wear what you have and we deserve something better insyaaAllah. We call it sadaqah. =D Allah will double tripple your kindness insyaaAllah. ;)

Allah ma'akum.
