Salam, my name is Azureen. I am 20 years old, and I'm an accounting student from Malaysia.
My Style
I used to wear hijab with plain shirts and trousers most of the time, and I kept repeating the same outfits as I didn't really care about my look. But I'm glad I came across Hijab Style, which had inspired me to change my appearance. Previously, I'd always thought that there was no way for me to play with fashion whilst wearing hijab. But after following this blog for months, it has opened my mind and changed my view of hijab. Since then, I've tried to wear different outfits, and I was surprised by the results. It has managed to develop my confidence level and I just realized that dressing up could provide a better personality!
Now, I'm usually dressed according to the occasions that I have to attend. When I need to attend classes, I always opt for trousers, as going to class requires me to move a lot and I find them more practical. But my favourite outfit has to be something that could make me look more feminine. So during the weekend, instead of my daily outfits, I'll change to skirts/maxi dresses when I go out shopping or spending time with my family and friends.
I don't have many clothes as I've just discovered the beauty of fashion, but I'm trying my best to mix and match whatever I have in my wardrobe. Being a student, and since I don't earn any personal income, I'm always extra careful when I shop for clothes. I'll make sure that I don't already own a specific design/colour, and that it could match with most of the clothes I already own. Only then will I spend my money on the items. The first things that I bought when I decided to change my apearance were colourful cardigans. I love to play with colors and I believe that by combining different colours together, it can change a boring look to something more fun and interesting.
Top Tips
I usually shop for clothes anywhere, no matter if it's branded or unbranded, either online or offline, as long as it's unique I don't already own any, I will definitely go for it!
A simple tip from a beginner like me is, don't be afraid to change for good. Know your body type as it will help you to find the right clothes that will look good on you. Be confident and love yourself. And the most important thing is, always remind yourself that there is no restricition of being fashionable when you are wearing hijab. Be proud to be a Muslim and show the beauty of Islam through stylish hijab!
