Covered-Style inspiration this week: Style Quotient

A fabulous style blog from Vancouver, Canada, named Style Quotient, some times ago showcased a color-blocked pieces.. that created a simple, casual, yet at the same time, classy edgy look..

Interestingly, in this case, pairing together few bold colors doesn't look too much, does it? ;)
Thanks to the denim which bridges up the other bold colors..

At school..

At my children's school, I adore one mother for her fashion taste. I love her stylish look and her choice to sometimes playing fashionably with colours.

One day, she wore an outfit in lots of colours, from peach, red, green, yellow, and black (either on the outfit itself, the headscarf, inner-scarf, and its accessories), but somehow she could manage the colours into a perfect combination of a 'pleasant to see' look.

The other day, she wore a plain outfit, but with a hint of colours from her accessories (big ring, bag, watch, or headscarf). Unfortunately, I usually could not capture these looks, because I  forgot to bring my camera when I take my children to school.

About few days ago, I saw her again. This time, she wore a bright outfit beautifully. She wore a pretty colour orange-d dress, matched with a unique cut (loose cut at the upper arms and longer cut at the back) of  white cardigan. She carried a fringed black handbag (it looked like a hand-made local-product handbag), paired with black-grey shoes. Her choice to wore a neutral colours (in this case: black) for her bag and shoes was perfect to balance and tone down the bright outfit.

As usual, I did not bring my camera with me, so I snap her look by my cell-phone. The result... not a good 'sartorialist' photograph.. ;p It was blur and did not show the details of the outfit.

Next time I have to make sure I bring my camera with me, and... ask her to pose specially for me.. ;)

Sunday Style

Last Hijabers Community Yogyakarta (HCY)'s Sunday Fun (July 24th, 2011) was great. We had 'tausiyah Ramadhan' by Ustadz Edi and an interesting sharing about Hijab and Fashion; Also, a Fashion Garage Sale on Rahmadinna Boutique's yard.

The 'tausiyah' talked about what should we do to welcome the Holy Month of Ramadhan (topic: "Marhaban yaa Ramadhan") and Q.S. Maryam: 16 - 36 (about Maryam a.s. who was ordered to 'shaum' / fasting < in this case, not talking to anyone > just after she gave birth of Prophet Isa a.s. And then Baby Isa a.s. himself spoke out to explain about who He is). 

After the 'tausiyah', a special guest from University of Colorado, Carla Jones, an Assistant Professor of Anthropology, raised up some questions to the forum for sharing and being discussed regarding to her research on women, hijab, and fashion.

At the end of Sunday Fun event.. is time for photoshoots! :)

In the events like this, usually we can see various creative looks of hijab worn by Muslimahs.

My favorite look in the picture above is the look of one sister at the corner of bottom right. Her hijab was exceeded to her hip. It looks like an 'all in one' headscarf and vest. She also accessorized it with a loose thin belt at the hip... looks chic and unique.

And also this sister. With just a simple little headband, her hijab style looked different.

Love these hijab wraps:

Sunday Fun with Hijabers Community Yogyakarta (HCY), July 10th, 2011.

This is the first time I met and attended an event held by Hijabers Community Yogyakarta (HCY). HCY is a community which in it, all Muslim women (especially who live in Yogyakarta-Indonesia and its surroundings area) can meet up, sharing, and do positive activities as a way to build a strong and good relationship between Muslimah ('silaturahmi') and as a place to improve ourself to be a better Muslimah.

Every month HCY held twice Sunday Fun's event as a routine meeting. It's on the first and the third Sunday of the month.

Last week HCY's Sunday Fun held a seminar about women's reproduction health (topic: cervical cancer), and a muslimah fashion bazaar. Sounds really fun, right? 

Getting ready for the bazaar.

The Seminar. Speaker: Ibu Sri Panuntun, a lecture and also a nurse-midwife.

Yes, I have a great fun attending this routine meeting with Yogyakarta's hijabers (hijaber/hijabi = a call for a Muslim woman who wear hijab). 

I got new knowledges, new friends, a new hijab-style (one pretty sister kindly share to me on how she wrapped her hijab), and also.. a new beautiful purple-pink shawl I bought from the bazaar :) 

Thank you for this fun meet-up, Girls!

And here are some of style shots of the girls who attended this event:

Note: the 'yellow-mustard' above is a maxi dress with a hood. Same like the hoodie t-shirt, the hood is functioned as a shawl/hijab, too. Yellow-mustard.. matched with the colour black, looks awesome.

Cute look
