Work Wear!

Salaams, 

So I recently made the decision to wear hijab at work. I'm a nurse, and the only hijabi nurse that I've ever seen is me! I don't have to decide what to wear every day, and I stick to plain scarves in varying shades of blue. If I didn't wear a uniform, these are my ideas on how to do workwear :)

Jumpers

Beginnings and Woolly Jumpers :)


First post of the blog will be on woolly jumpers. English weather is notorious for being changeable, cold, miserable and just plain awful. Just last night I had to drive home at 3 miles an hour due to the combination of fog and firework smoke, I couldn't even see the road markings in front of my car! 

Daytime


    




With the skinny jeans, what I personally would do is buy them a size too big so they are loose around the legs, and buy the jumper a size too big so it covers your derriere. Cobalt blue is another big trend for A/W 2012, along with studs.

   This jumper from AX Paris (£25) meets one of the biggest trends for A/W 2012. . . Owls. I love owls, I have owl cushions and clocks at home. They are such beautiful creatures.  This jumper is definitely on my shopping list! Its also oversized so no need to buy a size too big.

Evening

       With the skirt, just to make sure there is no skin visible, I would put leggings underneath. I would put this outfit with just a plain black chiffon hijab :)
