Salaams!
So as my phone contract was finally up, I could change my blackberry to. . . . An Iphone! I was way too excited to get an Iphone. What I forgot was that I struggle frequently with technology and it took me 5 days to learn how to put it on silent for work hours :) What makes it worse is that my husband actually works with social networking for his job. . . .
Anyway, now I have my Iphone, I also have instagram! My instagram username thingy is: naomiearly.
In other (less exciting) news, I also bought my first abaya. I started wearing hijab 'full time' in November 2012. I had been steadily adjusting my wardrobe since I took my Shadaha but I was struggling for money so I had to adjust the clothes I already had. I'm an avid watcher of muslim youtubers and read some of the comments about skinny jeans and the like from internet sheikhs. Whether these comments were right or wrong, I felt like I needed to cover more.
Any extra money I managed to save went on baggier and looser clothes. Then, my first abaya. I don't wear it all the time but I feel so much better as a muslim for covering up properly, alhamdulillah! The next post I do will be a styling an abaya post, insha'Allah.
On another note, I want to get out my feelings for the recent IERA lecture that enforced segregation at UCL. First of all, if I was attending an event on my own without my husband, I personally would sit in an area for women. This does not mean I am oppressed, it means I am adhering to the principles of my faith that I willingly practice. For UCL to ban IERA from holding future events at the university is oppressing us by not allowing us to sit in a female area like some muslim women want to. Slightly off topic but I wanted to get this off my chest :)
