Pop Culture Hijabi: How to wear your boots this winter

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

pop culture hijabi

I just had an epiphany today.

As you may or may not know, Chicago (and much of the midwest and east) was hit with its first major snowstorm this week. I LOVE snow, and I was very excited about the weather change.

However, winter naturally comes with the need to change your wardrobe as well.
One thing I always have trouble with is boots and tucking pants into them. It’s a necessity if you don’t want sopping wet hems, but it doesn’t look that great unless you wear skinny pants.

However, I was searching for things online and came across some great advice.

They recommend tucking pants into socks first and then putting on boots. Pretty logical, right? And I’m sure it’s something everyone already knows. But I was amazed that my pants no longer had that weird, slouchy look.

So, until I have a chance to go out and get some tighter pants to wear with boots, this will be my quick fix for trudging through the snow.

Hijab Fashion Fix: Hot shoes of the season

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

We are absolutely in love with these slip-ons. They’re a little bit sneaker like and a little bit like a ballet flat. The Puma “Sabadella Sequins 2″ currently retails for $74.95 at Nordstrom.

We love them because of that sparkle that gives these shoes a touch of bling!
