Food Shopping Specialties: Tips For Saving On Groceries

Did you grow up knowing that the time would come that you would wear a hijab when you would be in the presence of men? Perhaps you have recently converted to the Muslim faith and wearing a hijab is new to you. It might be that you feel in love and then married a Muslim man and you wanted to raise your children in the same faith. Whatever the reason that you are now wearing a hijab, you more than likely want an assortment of them, right? After all, while you dress modestly for every occasion, some occasions invite casual wear and others call for more elegant clothes. From selecting casual wear hijabs to selecting some for more formal events, here are some ideas that might help you.

Casual Wear - Think of selecting hijabs that are easy to maintain. For example, cotton jersey hijabs are easily washed and will more than likely last a long time. In addition, they are usually very affordable, which means that you can have several. Consider buying patterned jersey hijabs to go with neutral colored clothes. For example, a paisley jersey hijab would add interest to an off-white or a brown long dress, wouldn't it? A plain colored cotton jersey hijab would more than likely complement a patterned dress. Consider laying out your dresses and placing different hijabs next to them to see which ones look best together. You might be surprised that a patterned jersey hijab still looks nice with a patterned dress, maybe because the colors complement each other, or maybe because the patterns are similar. 

Elegant Wear - For times that you want to look especially nice, say when you will be having dinner with your spouse's family or for a special holiday, consider buying dressier hijabs. Even though will more than likely be more expensive than your cotton jersey hijabs, you probably won't need as many of them. Plus, by washing them by hand or by sending them to be dry-cleaned by professionals, the more expensive hijabs will more than likely still last a very long time. Think of buying a shimmering silver-toned or gold-toned silk hijab that has beautiful beads as part of the design. Another idea is to purchase an elegant hijab of the same color as the dress you will be wearing to a special event. Of course, sometimes choosing totally different colors will add drama to an outfit. For example, teal blue against purple might be very flattering.
