As far as the eye can see, all you see was paddy-fields. This view was so beautiful so as a thought of 'how fortunate are the people who live here so that they can enjoy this view every day, every morning and evening, from the sun rise to the sun set' came across my mind.<br /><br />It's so easy to reach this place from the central of Yogyakarta: Tugu Jogja (the iconic Yogyakarta monument). From Tugu Jogja, we just have to go straight to the west (just follow the road to the west) until you enter Kulon Progo region and find beautiful view of paddy-fields as far as your eyes can see with hills at the back. You can also find some outdoor eatery spots here which serve local countryside cuisine (<i>masakan ndeso</i>), such as rice, <i>sayur lodeh, tempe cabe ijo, tempe garit, gudeg, ceker bacem, sayur asem,</i> sauteed papaya leaves, omelet, <i>sambal,</i> fried bananas, tea, orange squeeze, coffee, and so on.<br /><br />At first, when my sister said that we're going to a countryside with very wide paddy-fields, I was expecting to see an all green scenery (with a hope that I can also find a blue sky), but never expected that I would also stumbled upon these beautiful orange and yellow wild flowers that was by chance a perfect match to my skirt! The color-combination of these flowers, paddy-fields, and the sky was so magnificent. How beautiful is Allah`s creation!<br /><br />I really enjoyed the view and taking pictures of it. I enjoyed spending time here with my family and picking flowers with these sweet little <i>photo-bombers</i>.. (last picture).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ALCJh1cT1ag/W5zgCIK-xFI/AAAAAAAAXww/ynNYwy9FOLMvXiie7ETWJ7_Vj0H_sbi4wCLcBGAs/s1600/20180915-_DSC8933.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I remembered.. I was so impressed by his writing and it has led me to read more and more books about Islam. It's one of the books that I think "intellect" and has "open my eyes".<br /><br />And recently.. I came across this video. It's Jeffrey Lang's speech in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifllgTA2pmY" target="_blank">youtube</a>, talking about our purpose of life according to the Holy Qur'an. This video was published in youtube in February 2011, but I accidentally found it just now. From the very first I watched it, I'm so attached to it and I just couldn't believe that I have sit here, watching this video for one and a half hour, yet I didn't feel that it's such a very long speech (I didn't pay attention to its duration before and during I watch it, I just realized how long it is later). Even, I want to hear more and more of it, and learn more and more from his speech. But, at the end, just any other speech, it must end up because of the limitation of time. I must say that his insights into the Qur'an are remarkable.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ifllgTA2pmY?rel=0" width="560"></iframe> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>I've read some of what he was talking about from his book years ago, but still the speech attracted me and it refreshes what I have had in mind. He was talking about a fundamental question that perhaps many people have been questioned about.. the purpose of our life. <br /><br />Watching this also has encouraged me to read the English-translated Qur'an, so that I can follow exactly what he said and to come near to what he, or perhaps other English-speaking people, think when they are reading the Qur'an. The Qur'an I usually read is translated into Bahasa Indonesia. Its translation doesn't always has an exact same meaning with, or using an equivalent word with the translation in English. So sometimes, the "sense" we got is not the same when we reading the Qur'an's translation in different language. <br /><br />I know that this blog is supposedly a style blog, but I just couldn't help to not share with you something that I thought is incredible.. something that has enlightened me. Anyway, I wrote/shared some things about Islam and Islamic teachings here in my first years of blogging.. so why not now I shared them again.<br /><br />One thing for sure is that I'll always share things that I love, things that attract me, either it's fashion, my style, my taste, cute vintage items, photography, or other things.. And I think, until now, I want this blog remains to be a style blog..<br /><br /><br />Note: There's also a speech of Jeffrey Lang in Purdue University that speak on this topic too (divided into two videos). You can watch it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AvepssBwzY" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n527uhH6RWE" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br /><script src="//z-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/onejs?MarketPlace=US&adInstanceId=a9c4bceb-0e7c-4df5-8a49-7535aef76d9c"></script> <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><!-- Please call pinit.js only once per page --><script async="" data-pin-hover="true" src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div></div>Rania, Style Whimsicalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01773406821999436426noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7744709990193679765.post-12602638202352421662018-05-22T10:05:00.000+07:002018-05-22T18:48:36.695+07:00Visiting the Museum of Biology, Yogyakarta<span id="goog_1413060937"></span><span id="goog_1413060938"></span><br /><script src="//z-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/onejs?MarketPlace=US&adInstanceId=a9c4bceb-0e7c-4df5-8a49-7535aef76d9c"></script> <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><!-- Please call pinit.js only once per page --><script async="" data-pin-hover="true" src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F7GeEvgiG7w/WwFoQa2i7pI/AAAAAAAABzA/yTYFGqjwQWQpi7B4Qj8rvdKtvNrhpaFqQCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/2017-03-13%252C_DSC7985.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="987" data-original-width="700" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F7GeEvgiG7w/WwFoQa2i7pI/AAAAAAAABzA/yTYFGqjwQWQpi7B4Qj8rvdKtvNrhpaFqQCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/2017-03-13%252C_DSC7985.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--IgsZ3JRm7M/WwFougqw3II/AAAAAAAABzM/mtyPAKrnWM4XDZHAwSfxMUu2Z0SI70UEACPcBGAYYCw/s1600/2017-03-13%252C_DSC8075.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="316" data-original-width="700" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--IgsZ3JRm7M/WwFougqw3II/AAAAAAAABzM/mtyPAKrnWM4XDZHAwSfxMUu2Z0SI70UEACPcBGAYYCw/s1600/2017-03-13%252C_DSC8075.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RFf6LlPVNHw/WwFoPwzb1NI/AAAAAAAAByI/bUqmf2Lh5E4amzRjf_Tv6qcfV7j6BF39gCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/2017-03-13%252C_DSC7982.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="531" data-original-width="700" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RFf6LlPVNHw/WwFoPwzb1NI/AAAAAAAAByI/bUqmf2Lh5E4amzRjf_Tv6qcfV7j6BF39gCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/2017-03-13%252C_DSC7982.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">The Museum of Biology, Yogyakarta, is not completely a new thing for me. I visited it few times when I was in college taking the environmental biology field of study. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Last year I visited it again with the kids thinking that they would be excited to walking around and seeing things inside, and they were. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">There's not much changes to the museum since I was in college, even, I think, there's almost nothing change since then. Honestly, I expected I would find something new interesting things at the museum, since it has been years ago since my last visit. I think there would be new specimens or new museum's lay-out/display, or now it has new interactive games or digital information like those at the modern museums. I might be expecting too high.. For new visitors, like the kids, they were quite excited and having fun looking at those things (animals, skeletons, etc.) they've never seen before. But for me, as a repeated visitor, I really hope this museum can be so much more better than this... more interesting; a place we'll be excited to visit again and again, a place we could learn more and more about biology then and now (how about combining a museum--biology then-- and a laboratory--biology now-- in one place? More like a 'Jurassic Park' perhaps..) </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Or.. Should a museum stay like it is because moving old things around has a high risk of damaging them because of their traits which is fragile and need very careful handling? </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So tell me.. how is your experience at the museum, particularly a science or biology museum? What part do you think need an improvement?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">As for the outfit I wore, I super love combining these black-and-white checkered patterns on my shawl with the black-and-white polka dots print on my blouse!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This pile of thick tights, a-bit-stiff skirt, and a flowy asymmetrical dress suddenly made me feel that I'm adding a Japanese <b>mori</b> vibe into my look.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span class="_Tgc _s8w">'<b>Mori</b>' means forest in Japanese. </span>The mori girls (森ガール) belong to a Japanese subculture, <span class="_Tgc _s8w">and mori girls look like fairytale forest wanderers. </span>They are often seen in loose dresses or smocks, vintage blouses, puffed sleeves, A-line skirts, tights and leggings and many-layered ensembles. They delight in beautiful fabrics and textures, preferring natural to synthetic materials, and are impartial to autumnal shades reminiscent of forest glades such as deep reds, greens, blues and browns. They keep warm with knits and furs in winter, and ponchos and leather boleros in the fall.</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">They shun stiletto heels for flat shoes..

Vintage items such as pocket watches, small gold pendants and analogue cameras captivate mori girls.</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span class="_Tgc _s8w">The mori girls often look whimsical or quirky. They also choose to live their lives on their own terms, stopping to appreciate the little things that others overlook amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life.</span><br /><br />(read the whole article here: <a href="http://morigirl.blogspot.com/2009/10/who-are-mori-girls.html">http://morigirl.blogspot.com/2009/10/who-are-mori-girls.html )</a> </blockquote><br />Reading that article... I can't believe that I could be a mori girl.<br /><br />What I noticed about the mori style is that it has a specific characteristic i.e. pile of layers (even though not all mori girls include layering in their outfit. There are also mori girls who wear a simple A-line dress), generally modest, feminine without overly cute, and usually wearing flat shoes.<br /><br />In fact I love vintage/retro fashion; the Victorian style, European vintage of 50s and 60s style. Yet, as a Muslim woman who concern about 'modesty' in my look, I try my best to keep modest. So, in the midst of putting on the clothes, I found that some clothes (especially the 50s inspired clothes) are too fitted in some parts (usually at the waist), or they emphasize my figure too much, or their hemlines aren't long enough. So I trick this by adding layers, for example: to cover a 'too tight at the bosom' top, to cover the 'too much figure emphasizing' outfit, to add the length of the hemline. These can be achieved by, for example, adding one more dress over an 'already done' outfit, adding a sweater on, adding neck-scarf to cover the bosom, adding a crochet/lace/embroidered cotton skirt underneath a skirt to add the length of the hemline, etc. And these layering stuffs sometimes give you a 'mori style' look...<br /><br />Also, Mori style often put in a vintage element in its look, like those cotton crochet dresses, peter pan collar, vintage blouse, or oxford shoes. This style is not being affected and tempted by certain fashion trends. And mori girls often sporting smock dresses, puffed sleeves, A-line skirt and tights. These are things that I love in wardrobe styling. So this style is more likely fit my aesthetic. Eventhough perhaps not a hundred percent, as I found that sometimes mori style has a bit vibe of boho (the vintage 70s boho chic/bohemian style) which I'm not so much into. Yet anyway, I love the combination between the vintage 50s and 60s style with mori style.<br /><br />Perhaps I could be just wear a simple, practical, one layer long-sleeved maxi dress, but I prefer to layer it with a vest, an outer, or even an apron-dress. Just for my delight.. Because basically I love layered-ensembles (that's why fall fashion always be my favorite! and I always dreaming about autumn and winter, especially since I live in a country which summer --and its variation-- is the only season all year long).<br /><br />Other thought about layering is that somehow these layering stuffs add 'chic-ness' to your look --Look at those stylish people on the streets of Fashion Week, and the fashion bloggers! They often using layers to create a chic look or a more sophisticated look.<br /><br />So... are you into layering? Or, are you a mori girl? Share with us here... <br /><br /><i>A little fun fact about me:</i> As for my love for apron dresses, it definitely comes from my love for the 'Sound of Music' movie I frequently watched when I was young.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The looks are quite unique and fit to my aesthetic. Not like a usual wrap most of us don when we're sporting a pashmina. She makes a side-drape look by folding the pashmina in half and bring its edge onto the forehead to create the drape; then wrap the rest of the fabric around the neck.<br /><br />I love these style. I love the drape look. It's unique, suit my style, and easy to do. One thing you should take note to pull off this wrap is that you need a WIDE pashmina/rectangle-scarf. At first, I tried this wrap using my cotton scarf size 180 x 70 cm and it didn't work for style 1 and style 2 as its wide didn't give enough coverage to the back of my head. Then, I used my wider scarf. So, to be safe, you need a 'minimum 85 cm in width' scarf.<br /><br />This tutorial is by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/BeautyLaBoutique/videos" target="_blank">Zeinah Nur</a> who has been making lots of interesting videos on YouTube since long ago. I've been wondering why do I just know her now? This tutorial also has been published since about a year ago (in March 2016 to be exact). Anyway, there is no 'out of style' style as long as we love it.. right? ;)<br /><br />Side note: For your DIY project, you can add a line of lace, crochet or embroidery as a list on the edge of your plain hijab to make your hijab more beautiful or look <i>vintage-y</i>, just like the hijab on that video tutorial.<br /><br /><br /></div>Rania, Style Whimsicalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01773406821999436426noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7744709990193679765.post-58779747005993091692017-09-01T22:12:00.002+07:002017-09-02T09:50:32.433+07:00Outfit: Style Preference<div style="text-align: center;"><!-- Please call pinit.js only once per page --><script async="" data-pin-hover="true" src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PeLaVVCtR4s/WaeRtl5n3vI/AAAAAAAAVvg/DOS99LBN0TMq8XedsRpuZtRm-0JT373AQCLcBGAs/s1600/2017-03-10%252C_DSC7930.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1003" data-original-width="700" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PeLaVVCtR4s/WaeRtl5n3vI/AAAAAAAAVvg/DOS99LBN0TMq8XedsRpuZtRm-0JT373AQCLcBGAs/s1600/2017-03-10%252C_DSC7930.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mTt0Tm7TJGs/WaeRsQOgBFI/AAAAAAAAVvc/2H4zOsjlYV4pSFPsUG_VYnMLuNuBE4xOwCLcBGAs/s1600/2017-03-10%252C_DSC7935.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="889" data-original-width="700" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mTt0Tm7TJGs/WaeRsQOgBFI/AAAAAAAAVvc/2H4zOsjlYV4pSFPsUG_VYnMLuNuBE4xOwCLcBGAs/s1600/2017-03-10%252C_DSC7935.JPG" /></a></div><br />Happy Eidul Adha, Lovelies... Hope you all have a blessed Eid.<br /><br />In <a href="https://stylewhimsical.blogspot.co.id/search/label/Outfits" target="_blank">today's outfit post</a>, I mixed my favorite 60s-inspired tweed dress, which has a H-line shape, with a t-shirt and a long fluffy skirt. I love how they went along together and also felt quite comfortable in them.<br /><br />The hijab style I'm sporting here actually was not quite successful according to what I intended it to be at first. The scarf's material is too slippery to be shaped, so I modified a bit the wrap I want to and it ended up like you see in these pictures. I bought this scarf because of its color; rust -- one of my favorite colors. Unfortunately the material is not a material I prefer for scarf because it's quite difficult to wrap. But if you like a flowy hijab style, this scarf might work.<br /><br />Anyway, wearing a long skirt usually is not my preference for daily wear. My favorite style for myself is a knee-length dress with trousers; Or, skirts and dresses in midi length (the hemline falls around mid-calves or few inches above the ankles). In these styles I felt more confidence and comfortable. It's a style that expressing 'me' more. As you know, each person has a style of their own, a style that she/he loves, a style that she/he can pull off confidently and comfortably -- yet of course this style preference may be change as time goes by.<br /><br />Frequently I found a dress that I love and would love to wear but unfortunately has short hemline -- like a mini/above-knee length dress. So, my trick is by adding length to its hemline; I wore it mixed with a midi skirt underneath and a pair of long socks or <a href="https://stylewhimsical.blogspot.co.id/2017/03/two-new-fashion-pieces-that-will-ease.html" target="_blank">wudhu-friendly tights</a>. If you're a kind of 'mori style' girl, you can add a petticoat (inner skirt) with laces/embroideries at the hemline in midi/maxi length underneath. The layering look from this clothing-mix even got me more into this look.<br /><br />How about you? What style or look you are into?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GPGaeRMJPUM/WaeRwylL_CI/AAAAAAAAVvs/0gS4SiZ-5oQ_L0_4A0UzX5Q6IXefPiMwQCLcBGAs/s1600/2017-03-10%252C_DSC7950-horz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="405" data-original-width="700" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GPGaeRMJPUM/WaeRwylL_CI/AAAAAAAAVvs/0gS4SiZ-5oQ_L0_4A0UzX5Q6IXefPiMwQCLcBGAs/s1600/2017-03-10%252C_DSC7950-horz.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3AYGyIOQEUQ/WaeRt2WJmVI/AAAAAAAAVvk/lMWooTjxF2kd1P9-8-UueK2OjTS1EK1vACLcBGAs/s1600/2017-03-10%252C_DSC7936.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="376" data-original-width="700" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3AYGyIOQEUQ/WaeRt2WJmVI/AAAAAAAAVvk/lMWooTjxF2kd1P9-8-UueK2OjTS1EK1vACLcBGAs/s1600/2017-03-10%252C_DSC7936.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JmcX4JZhQHg/WaeRwvk5jTI/AAAAAAAAVvo/ZZx0hDaVezEA02JUf2TPYM-fcgKuXSAfgCLcBGAs/s1600/2017-03-10%252C_DSC7941.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="477" data-original-width="700" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JmcX4JZhQHg/WaeRwvk5jTI/AAAAAAAAVvo/ZZx0hDaVezEA02JUf2TPYM-fcgKuXSAfgCLcBGAs/s1600/2017-03-10%252C_DSC7941.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dyzAgWcGDeg/WaeRrsASfiI/AAAAAAAAVvY/rZc5otzGVe4OL13COMZtL2xPsjDxkum2QCLcBGAs/s1600/2017-03-10%252C_DSC7931-horz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="564" data-original-width="700" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dyzAgWcGDeg/WaeRrsASfiI/AAAAAAAAVvY/rZc5otzGVe4OL13COMZtL2xPsjDxkum2QCLcBGAs/s1600/2017-03-10%252C_DSC7931-horz.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XRfGEbinc90/WaeRxY7b_9I/AAAAAAAAVvw/7_w6LPChTGs9tO2SVPXJJLEGoSEta-yvwCLcBGAs/s1600/2017-03-10%252C_DSC7937.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1079" data-original-width="700" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XRfGEbinc90/WaeRxY7b_9I/AAAAAAAAVvw/7_w6LPChTGs9tO2SVPXJJLEGoSEta-yvwCLcBGAs/s1600/2017-03-10%252C_DSC7937.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: right;">wearing:</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="https://www.instagram/evanabian_hijab" target="_blank">Evanabian Hijab's rectangle scarf</a></div><div style="text-align: right;">old t-shirt</div><div style="text-align: right;">vintage dress as an outer</div><div style="text-align: right;">old skirt (bought in a local store)</div><div style="text-align: right;">Converse shoes (old)</div><br />Rania of StyleWhimsicalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14996665965538516271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7744709990193679765.post-19403578027300519282017-08-30T23:39:00.001+07:002018-05-27T13:54:22.660+07:00Review: New DOVE Facial Foams<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BW7bl7E3Sco/WabB9d3UPiI/AAAAAAAABvM/y8A0JvOXDuEvuFPyOVt4IiB9x2c84ZxRACEwYBhgL/s1600/_DSC8691.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="465" data-original-width="700" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BW7bl7E3Sco/WabB9d3UPiI/AAAAAAAABvM/y8A0JvOXDuEvuFPyOVt4IiB9x2c84ZxRACEwYBhgL/s1600/_DSC8691.JPG" /></a></div><br />Hi, Lovelies...<br /><br />Today I would love to share my experience using Dove Inner Glow Facial Foam. Yet, because this review is written specifically for my Indonesia-based readers so that I'll write it in Bahasa Indonesia. However, you can always translate it into your language if you think you need to read it.<br /><br />Kira-kira seminggu lalu, saya ditawarkan untuk mencoba produk DOVE terbaru oleh Clozette Indonesia, yaitu Dove Facial Foam. Ada 3 varian produk yang ditawarkan:<br />1. DOVE Beauty Moisture Facial Foam untuk kulit normal, sensitif atau kering.<br />2. DOVE Deep Pure Facial Foam untuk kulit berminyak.<br />3. DOVE Inner Glow Facial Foam untuk kulit kusam.<br /><br />Saat ditawarkan dan harus memilih ingin mencoba yang varian mana, saya memilih DOVE Inner Glow Facial Foam karena selama ini saya menganggap kulit wajah saya kusam.. ahahahha.. Penting lho untuk memilih facial foam yang sesuai dengan jenis kulit kita. <br /><br />Saya rasa kekusaman kulit ini mungkin juga dipengaruhi oleh bertambahnya usia, karena dulu waktu masih agak muda-an kulit saya lebih putih dan <i>glowing</i> deh.. Ditambah lagi kegiatan saya yang selama ini lebih banyak outdoor dan berpanas-panasan. Mulai dari foto outfit yang lebih suka saya lakukan outdoor, olahraga (berjalan-jalan, bersepeda), kegiatan rutin antar jemput anak sekolah, belanja, juga menjemur pakaian di pagi dan siang hari... Ditambah lagi keadaan iklim di kota tempat saya tinggal dimana cahaya matahari nya terlalu berlimpah.<br /><br />Tidak beberapa lama, sampailah produk DOVE Inner Glow Facial Foam ini ke tangan saya. Kemasannya cukup menarik. Saya suka dengan bentuk tube nya yang agak pipih dan warna nya yang agak-agak vintage; putih pink-kecoklatan. Saya lalu membaca <i>ingredients</i>-nya karena penasaran dengan keunikan kandungan dari DOVE Inner Glow Facial Foam ini. Ternyata DOVE Inner Glow Facial Foam ini mengandung NutriumMoisture Beauty Serum yang bermanfaat menutrisi kulit wajah kita, bahkan sampai beberapa saat setelah kita mencuci muka, dan diharapkan akan menampilkan cahaya alami kulit kita. So, tidak menunggu lebih lama lagi langsung sorenya saya coba untuk mencuci muka.<br /><br />Cukup dengan sedikit saja DOVE Facial Foam (kira-kira sebesar butiran jagung) sudah bisa digunakan untuk satu kali membersihkan wajah secara merata -- jadi, satu tube DOVE Facial Foam 50 gr baru akan habis dalam waktu yang cukup lama juga. Cara pemakaiannya seperti facial foam pada umumnya: ditaruh di telapak tangan lalu dicampur dengan sedikit air. Diusap-usap hingga terbentuk foam lalu di-<i>apply</i> merata di wajah untuk membersihkan wajah. Wangi nya lembut beraroma bunga. Hasilnya setelah selesai dibilas, menurut saya, kulit saya terasa lembut dan bersihnya pas; tidak menjadi kering, juga tidak menjadi berminyak. Pernah saya menggunakan produk facial foam ber-pelembab lain yang malah meninggalkan rasa licin di kulit seperti masih bersabun walaupun sudah dibilas beberapa kali dan setelahnya kulit saya malah seperti berminyak. Ada pula facial foam yang membuat kulit terasa kering. Namun DOVE facial foam ini menurut saya enak, pas gitu rasanya di kulit.. kulit jadi lembut.<br /><br />DOVE mengklaim bahwa facial foam terbarunya ini akan dengan lembut mengangkat sel-sel kulit mati dan melembapkan hingga ke dalam pori-pori kulit. <br /><br />Dan apakah DOVE Inner Glow Facial Foam ini dapat menghilangkan kekusaman kulit saya dan membuat kulit saya menjadi bercahaya? Kita tunggu saja ya setelah saya menggunakan rutin produk ini sampai habis.. Nanti InsyaaAlloh akan saya share lagi review kedua nya di blog. Semoga saja wajah saya benar-benar akan menjadi <i>glowing</i> seperti <i>glowing</i>-nya <i>these paddy fields in a bright afternoon ! </i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hLeA1bxQEvg/WabB7ufGXOI/AAAAAAAABvM/lWYoIdvNiScDUVHQlUzoRcm3koQFsDmyQCEwYBhgL/s1600/_DSC8681.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I thought I wouldn't mind sharing on what kind of dresses I love from their site. So, for today's editor-picks, shown-above are my favorite dresses from <a href="http://www.rosegal.com/s-zone/?lkid=129024" target="_blank">Rosegal</a> (there are too many dresses I love, so I couldn't pick only a few..). Based on their cut and shape, it can be said that most of these dresses are '50s inspired dresses.<br /><br />As you might already know, I'm a fan of '50s and '60s dresses -- I love the fluffy-ness of '50s dresses, and also love the sleek look of the '60s dresses. However, for daily wear, I feel more confident in the '60s dresses than in the '50s dresses, because the '60s look more sleek and simple.<br /><br />What I love the most from these dresses are their 'vintage vibe'; the cut of '50s fashion, vintage-y or classic patterns (plaid, floral, polka dots, also novelty prints), and unique collar. And because summer is right around the corner, I picked a few bright summery dresses in color sky blue, yellow, green, and red-and-white stripes which makes me want to go for a picnic in a beautiful sunny day...<br /><br /><u>Hijab styling tips:</u><br />Of course to make these adorable dresses a hijab ready, you must wear them with:<br /><ul><li>trousers or a long skirt underneath (skirt with skirt? why not? You would be surprise on how chic they are together. Hint: pick the right skirt to match. For example: I prefer a long pencil-skirt underneath these kind of fluffy dresses, but it doesn't mean that you can't match fluffy skirt with fluffy skirt. Mixing different texture of skirts also help create a stunning look).</li><li>If the dress has a midi-length hemline, you can pair it either with trousers or <a href="https://stylewhimsical.blogspot.co.id/2017/03/two-new-fashion-pieces-that-will-ease.html" target="_blank">wudhu-friendly tights</a>. </li><li>For sleeveless dresses, add a light-weight blouse underneath, or a cardigan or a cropped blazer on top. A jean jacket or a shirt knotted at the bottom could give you a casual summer-y look -- just be creative with it.</li><li>If the dress has a low neck-line, you'll need a wrap to give an extra coverage in front. It could be by styling your headscarf in a way that would cover your bosom.</li></ul><br />Creating a cohesive look with these '50s-inspired dresses might be tricky for hijab wearers, but don't worry! If you love the dress, you'll find a way to create a stunning covered-look with those tips above and, of course, with your creativity.<br /><br />I'll show you which one I picked for myself (in an outfit post) as soon as I receive my package.<br />So, which one is your favorite?<br /><br />Have a great weekend, Lovelies!<br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #666666;">*I received a dress as a compensation for this post.

Like this dress I worn, it's a simple long-sleeved minidress with solid color blocks of brown and cream, with a cute peter pan collar and button-accessories. It's sweet and simple. As you might felt it too, for a hijab wearer, long-sleeved top or dress is definitely allowing you to dress so simple without the need for layering. Paired it with long skirt or pants.. voila! you're ready to go.<br /><br />As for the shoes, I love classic-style shoes like these black t-strap heels, jazzed up with bright colored or unique patterned socks. In an outfit like this, I just felt confident and ready to enjoy the day! Like someone has been saying, 'clothes definitely add a certain "mood" to your day'.<br /><br />By the way, these couple of weeks have been hectic for me, particularly related to the kids' school-matters; prepared for exams, first-born graduated from elementary, searching for junior high... All done during the breaks of house-keeping works and doing my errands. Yet still, I tried to manage to steal some times for this little blog and cherished every moments with the kids.<br /><br />Hope we all have wonderful weeks to come, and... ohh, Ramadhan is right around the corner, so happy fasting, Lovelies, and have a blessed Ramadhan!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

In this trip I really hoped I could capture beautiful 'sun flare' in my photographs. Based on what I've been reading (and a bit learning on my own), sun flare in photograph is caused by the sun rays that have direct access to the inside of our camera's lens. It can make your photograph looks washed-out, or, in the opposite, make your photograph looks warm and magical with golden glow while keep the focus sharp. To create sun flare in photograph your lens must be pointed towards the sun, but this will make your entire photo look washed-out. So, to achieve magical 'sun flare' photographs without being washed-out is quite tricky! <br /><br />Usually (but not always) we can get beautiful sun flare in photographs when the sun is quite low, near the horizon, at early morning or afternoon. One important trick to get it is to filter the sun or cut through the sun rays. So, even though your lens is facing towards the sun (to get sun flare), you have to compose your frame somehow so that the sun is partially blocked or its rays are being filtered through some things (leaves, tree line, branches, hill, etc.) to reduce the sun's strong lights that can make your entire photo looks washed-out. Or, you can change your position (move a bit to the right or left), so the sun would be out of your frame or be right in the edge of your frame. Or, you can cut through the sun rays by changing your angle (shooting from the top of your object so that your lens is pointed downwards). You can also use your hand to shade the front of your lens to manually block the sun rays -- as long as you can shoot using only one hand. Or, you can put yourself or your lens in the shade instead; such as behind the tree, while your object is out there <i>poured</i> by the sun rays.<br /><br />Unfortunately, today's outfit photos do not implement this 'sun-flare photography' techniques as I planned to... When we arrived at the beach, it was a chilly overcast day. The sky was covered by grey clouds. There's no sun lights. When finally the sun starting peeking out of the clouds, it's almost midday and the sun was already high. Even though it's not a reason to not get beautiful sun flares in our photographs, yet we're about to leave the beach. Still, I managed to take few photos of my outfit that day, and then I cleaned up the kids off the sand, packed our stuffs and left the beach. Besides, you can always have the sun flares anywhere, right? Even in your own backyard...<br /><br />I love my outfit in today's outfit post. I wore my favorite boater hat, my polka dress in my preferred midi-length, chiffon blouse, a pair of quick-dry swimwear-leggings (they are necessary when you're playing at the beach yet still want to wear your dresses), and these comfortable Soludos Dali Espadrilles.<br /><br />As for the scarf, it was new, given to me the day before we headed to the beach. It's a limited edition of licensed products of Walt Disney Indonesia. There are the classic Minnie Mouse, Cinderella, Princes Elsa and Anna of Frozen, Belle of Beauty and The Beast, Rapunzel, Snow White, Little Mermaid, Tinkerbell, and if I have to choose, still my pick would be The 'always curious' Alice in Wonderland scarf. I love its fresh color blue and novelty print... Underneath the scarf I wore my <a href="http://stylewhimsical.blogspot.co.id/2017/03/two-new-fashion-pieces-that-will-ease.html" target="_blank">staple knitted inner</a> that doing a great job in keeping my scarf neat and my baby-hair on the hairline covered.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

with cardigan, with shirt underneath, with a jacket, with jeans, with a long skirt... I love its puffy sleeves and fabric's texture. It's been being one of my favorite dresses to wear and I've been thinking to make a 'remix post' for this dress some time in the near future to show how I've been styling this dress.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm doing some "spring" cleaning (we actually don't have spring here.. so it's just a term) this week; cleaning and organizing the house, and sorting a lot of my stuffs -- the big amount of them is the kids' toys and kid's school's papers and books --, including my clothes. There are few of my clothes that I gently used or even never been worn, so I hope soon I could be listing them on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/shop_stylewhimsical" target="_blank">my insta-shop: @shop_stylewhimsical</a>, just in case any one of you interested in them. In the meantime I'm listing a little amount of new product: the knitted inner/underscarf on the shop in the most-coveted colors. These knits are a kind of knitted headband that you would wear underneath your hijab to cover your hair and neaten your hijab wrap. I wrote about them <a href="http://stylewhimsical.blogspot.co.id/2017/03/two-new-fashion-pieces-that-will-ease.html" target="_blank">here</a> if you'd like to read. They've been my favorite inner over these past couple of week!<br /><br />And tomorrow, first thing in the morning, we're heading to the beach to enjoy our weekend holiday... Really hoping I could get some beautiful pictures of beach with sun flares.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e0Tc1_x8geg/WPwCzUQk56I/AAAAAAAABlw/wWEvr-Em2pQCQM9z4oNjop2--7XxuyQ-gCLcB/s1600/2017-02-03%252C_DSC7389.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Like these pieces I wore in this post; the black-and-white striped top, H-line dark-colored skirt, these velvet T-strap black heels, including this saddle bag. 'Fashion classics' is defined by things you'll wear forever. You can wear them all the time, no matter what the trend is at the moment. Many stylists suggest that we should invest in classics for our '<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsule_wardrobe" target="_blank">capsule wardrobe</a>'. It's true. It's a smart/safe buy.<br /><br />But, what if you aren't into those pieces categorized as <i>classics </i>? The answer is simple: so they are not classic pieces for you. If you prefer to buy trendy or "odd" fashion items and then you wear them all the time for years, then they could be your "classics" since they achieve the same result of longevity.<br /><br />As for me, I love this striped top simply because of its collar, so it might be not a true <i>classic</i> for me -- but the collar is, I think! Yet, I'm so in love with this dark grey skirt. I love its textured fabric, its shape and midi length. I also love this maroon saddle bag and these velvet T-strap heels. They're just fulfill my sartorial aesthetic and suit my style. I wore these pieces all the time. They have been mixed and matched many times with other pieces in my wardrobe. So, these three pieces are definitely are my <i>classics</i> because of their versatility to be easily re-mix with other pieces and to be wear in many occasions.<br /><br />I think the first important thing about categorizing thing into classic is that it should come with love (it suits your sartorial aesthetic) and with versatility. That is what would make it be worn "forever". So, unless that's what you want to wear, don't buy classic.<br /><br />And please... ignore those mud and grasses on my velvet shoes. I wore them to the grass-field the day before and haven't had a chance to clean them up! <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VdkQT4JX-Og/WPN_BK30KmI/AAAAAAAABlI/CcBAS8nY2wwdjjaJ0vFlgWlAe8M-sf2vgCLcB/s1600/2017-02-01%252C_DSC7340.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

So when I saw this sleeveless trench coat, the first thing that caught my eyes was its lapels. Wide lapels and high collars, for me, somewhat give a look or an appearance of edgy-ness or elegance that I love. And sleeveless trench coats seem more suitable for us who live in tropical weather countries -- even though I do sporting a long-sleeved trench coat, too, in this climate.<br /><br />These photos were taken in a beautiful afternoon when I took the kids playing; flying a kite and running and blowing bubbles in the city square. It was almost dark.. so it's quite windy and cool, that make this trench coat practical to be worn. Besides, my blouse has a 'cropped' cut, so I need something to cover it up. I love this blouse for its fabric, color and especially for its lovely collar. The collar is a delicate combination of sequins sewed on furry fabric with knitted ribbon and ruffled chiffon -- and it looks too nice for enjoying afternoon in a field.. no?<br /><br />As for the jeans I wore, they were <a href="http://stylewhimsical.blogspot.co.id/2013/05/dive-into-summer-with-dorothy-perkins.html" target="_blank">courtesy of Dorothy Perkins UK</a> several years ago and have been worn a lot. I picked these boyfriend-cut jeans for their straight loose cut that would be perfect for a chic-casual look.<br /><br />So, how about you? How or where do you like to spend your beautiful afternoon?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4CbMDUN6LVQ/WNNM8MNAkbI/AAAAAAAABfk/Lo41qRYuxG07LUHooAOsaVlXkTdKmj7BQCLcB/s1600/2017-01-31%252C_DSC7240.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Not like any other inner or underscarf at that time which only covers the hair, this 'one piece' inner ninja covers, not only your hair, but also your neck and bosom. Since then, it has changed the way Muslim women (who wear hijab) styling their hijab and outfit. Muslim women have more "freedom" and flexibility in styling up their clothing the way they want to wear, without worried exposing their neck and bosom. I remember those days when I felt like 'now I have the flexibility to wear almost everything I want to wear, I can be more creative in wrapping my headscarf, I can show off the pretty collar of my dress, wearing my fake-pearls short necklace, sporting turban style, etc.'<br /><br />And since its first design, the inner ninja has been evolving into a wide-variety of design. For example: inner ninja's first design has a hole in the back of head functioning to adjust the hair if needed. It also has a velcro strap at the back of neck for closing. Then, the 'velcro part' changed into a tie and buttons, and then changed into a zip for more coverage and neater look. And now its modern design also come in full-covered (without an open hole at the back and without a 'closing' part. It is fully covered and simply slip it on to wear) -- Personally, I prefer an inner ninja with an opening or hole at the back so I could easily adjusting my hair bun if I need to.<br /><br />At later times, there were also <a href="http://stylewhimsical.blogspot.co.id/2012/05/latest-designs-on-ninja-underscarves.html" target="_blank">inner ninjas which designed with an attached cropped sleeveless tee</a>, similar to <a href="http://stylewhimsical.blogspot.co.id/2011/03/new-hijab-for-sports.html" target="_blank">ResportOn</a> sport hijab. There were also some of inner ninjas designed with asymmetrical look or 'crossed' look at the forehead for an edgier look. These inner ninjas could be also contributed in inspiring the designs of modern sport hijab as we know now, like Capsters or the most recent Nike sport hijab.<br /><br />Now back to the title... what two new pieces that I thought would give Muslim women an ease in wearing hijab?<br /><br />First, woolen or knitted underscarf/inner-scarf.<br /><br />As I mentioned earlier, the inner-scarf like inner ninja is an innovative piece. Many hijab wearers fall in love with it. But... there are also hijab wearers that feel like 'these inner ninjas are just not for them'. Honestly, I'm one of those women who is not quite comfortable in inner ninja (it's very useful, anyway, and I think I'll be still wearing an inner ninja in some occasions if I need it), particularly because of my neck closed with fitted cloth. I prefer wearing inner-scarf in a form of bandana or beanie look-alike.<br /><br />But there's also a problem with wearing a bandana inner-scarf. It keeps slipping down to the back of my head. Almost all inner-scarf sold out there are made of cotton-spandex or jersey fabric, so they could easily slip back down, and this really bothers me! I have to keep adjusting the inner and tuck in my hair back underneath the inner. I ever tried a lace inner, but it still felt a bit loose/saggy and less clutched. <br /><br />And now a few Muslimah clothing brands and stores are selling inner-scarves made of woolen or knitted fabric. Actually, I haven't had a chance to get my hands off them, but from the reviews I read and the sellers' claim, it's an anti slip inner-scarf because of its woolen/knitted material. It won't easily slipping back down and it keeps your scarf stand still (<i>ajeg</i> in bahasa Indonesia). It's also quite elastic but not felt too tight -- so I think this is what I've been looking for!<br /><br /><span style="color: #666666;">[UPDATE: I've tried it on, and it is quite what I expected it to be.. Love it!]</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GzJMy4N3fX8/WMoBrzVqZcI/AAAAAAAABek/LPHEjcamcYQ1__SlgmbqK_YZOxAWJq2IwCLcB/s1600/knit%2Binner%2B2-horz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GzJMy4N3fX8/WMoBrzVqZcI/AAAAAAAABek/LPHEjcamcYQ1__SlgmbqK_YZOxAWJq2IwCLcB/s1600/knit%2Binner%2B2-horz.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k-F7iemjJ8I/WMqY6czbLYI/AAAAAAAABfA/q_BYt4vSCcwnPhMJIm3sBI6sp_XnDd3_wCLcB/s1600/knit%2Binner%2B3-horz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k-F7iemjJ8I/WMqY6czbLYI/AAAAAAAABfA/q_BYt4vSCcwnPhMJIm3sBI6sp_XnDd3_wCLcB/s1600/knit%2Binner%2B3-horz.jpg" /></a></div><br />Few insta-shops I know that sell this knit inner are <a href="http://instagram.com/maima.shawl" target="_blank">Maima Shawl</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/whatmoeslemaneeds" target="_blank">What Moslema Needs</a>.<br /><br />But if you prefer not wearing inner-scarf and the things you want in wearing hijab are speed and ease, then you need the instant hijab. Just slip it onto your head, and voila! you're ready to go. No pin needed, no time needed to wrap it up. And some of its designs allow you to not wearing inner.<br /><br />There are so many brands and stores selling instant hijabs in a wide variety of designs. So, simply pick what best for you. Yet, you'd better estimate if this 'relatively unaltered' instant hijab you want to buy will fit (sit properly) at your face or not. Several insta-shops that I know sell chic instant hijabs are <a href="http://instagram.com/misisdevi_katalog" target="_blank">Misis Devi</a>, <a href="http://instagram.com/idolacollection" target="_blank">Idola Collection</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/heaven_lights/" target="_blank">Heaven Lights</a>.<br /><br />I personally recommend wearing inner/underscarf since it could give your hijab a neater look and your hair won't easily slipped out of your headscarf.<br /><br /><br />The second is wudhu-friendly tights.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Wxk9A3eXp_s/WMnsJabKQ7I/AAAAAAAABdk/dubK6X3Rf1gkjJUf-BHAgchw7OkfeZEswCLcB/s1600/2017-01-29%252CJanuary%2B17%252C%2B2017_DSC7007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Wxk9A3eXp_s/WMnsJabKQ7I/AAAAAAAABdk/dubK6X3Rf1gkjJUf-BHAgchw7OkfeZEswCLcB/s1600/2017-01-29%252CJanuary%2B17%252C%2B2017_DSC7007.jpg" /></a></div><br />I've been dreaming about these tights since 2013 (I even wrote about it in <a href="http://stylewhimsical.blogspot.co.id/2013/02/wudhu-socks-check-wudhu-tights-in-search.html" target="_blank">my old post here</a>), and have written about them in my previous posts: <a href="http://stylewhimsical.blogspot.co.id/2016/12/outfit-stripes-and-floral-print.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://stylewhimsical.blogspot.co.id/2017/03/outfit-wear-it-simply-with-fine-dress.html" target="_blank">here</a>. They're actually more of leggings plus socks in one (tights are usually very fitted, thin and delicate. Leggings are a bit looser and thicker than tights but without feet-covering).<br /><br />These wudhu-friendly tights have features like leggings (thicker and a bit looser than tights) but they're also covering your feet (like tights). What makes them special is that, not like usual tights, they have a subtle opening underneath the ball of your foot, so that you can simply roll these tights up when you want to make wudhu/wash your feet. These tights are popular here with name 'legging wudhu'.<br /><br />These tights/leggings are a great companion for midi skirts and maxi skirts. As we might already know, many hijab-wearer Muslim women wear pants or leggings underneath their skirts, and some of them might add socks to their outfits. So, instead of wearing pants or leggings plus socks underneath your skirts, you can change them into these 'simple one piece' tights/socks-leggings, and you don't have to repeatedly deal with 'putting on and taking down' your socks.<br /><br />Since I'm so in love with these tights, I'm also selling them on my insta shop: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/shop_stylewhimsical" target="_blank">shop_stylewhimsical</a>, so hopefully there will be more and more people find these tights useful. For now, there are two materials available for these tights: nylon and rib-cotton. I personally love the nylon ones as they look neater when being worn (not folded at your ankle).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6eEhnwfd3OQ/WMnweBdDeRI/AAAAAAAABeU/IU7LuVJ73IE92LXK7wPJBNE7HoLH0V-ygCLcB/s1600/2017-01-29%252CJanuary%2B17%252C%2B2017_DSC7014-horz2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6eEhnwfd3OQ/WMnweBdDeRI/AAAAAAAABeU/IU7LuVJ73IE92LXK7wPJBNE7HoLH0V-ygCLcB/s1600/2017-01-29%252CJanuary%2B17%252C%2B2017_DSC7014-horz2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pQMFXeOWn5U/WMntEWH9bkI/AAAAAAAABd4/RnO0LwbpRd4j_Qlh2y-FpO9PaIdT6zLCwCLcB/s1600/IMG_3118.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pQMFXeOWn5U/WMntEWH9bkI/AAAAAAAABd4/RnO0LwbpRd4j_Qlh2y-FpO9PaIdT6zLCwCLcB/s1600/IMG_3118.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-onNYPfFZQMc/WMnsdfGOAQI/AAAAAAAABds/gFV5OHzaGusfc60w1ozgtIMn5QtDkD3dACLcB/s1600/2016-12-09%252C_DSC6606.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-onNYPfFZQMc/WMnsdfGOAQI/AAAAAAAABds/gFV5OHzaGusfc60w1ozgtIMn5QtDkD3dACLcB/s1600/2016-12-09%252C_DSC6606.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7IL7zSkmSMY/WMnsQWHIavI/AAAAAAAABdo/X59yYuXGeakxpnDNoJw5vDfHQRw-rfA4QCLcB/s1600/2016-12-09%252C_DSC6670.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7IL7zSkmSMY/WMnsQWHIavI/AAAAAAAABdo/X59yYuXGeakxpnDNoJw5vDfHQRw-rfA4QCLcB/s1600/2016-12-09%252C_DSC6670.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l6GqgKr-K0Y/WMnsvu--i3I/AAAAAAAABd0/O0wIRWaFFQwKfeeBZ0tt2e06zjWo2jetwCLcB/s1600/January%2B23%252C%2B2017_DSC7204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l6GqgKr-K0Y/WMnsvu--i3I/AAAAAAAABd0/O0wIRWaFFQwKfeeBZ0tt2e06zjWo2jetwCLcB/s1600/January%2B23%252C%2B2017_DSC7204.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yrIfclsLJfg/WMntEUhnu0I/AAAAAAAABd8/4UXFTkhmOEAHpzWa4h0bHiuQ1-W0_yA7wCLcB/s1600/IMG_3117.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yrIfclsLJfg/WMntEUhnu0I/AAAAAAAABd8/4UXFTkhmOEAHpzWa4h0bHiuQ1-W0_yA7wCLcB/s1600/IMG_3117.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">*Pictures are taken by me.</span></div><br />Well.. what do you think of these pieces?<br /><br /><script src="//z-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/onejs?MarketPlace=US&adInstanceId=6ad733c6-c91c-47a9-89fa-781abb695981&storeId=httpwwwmoth0f-20"></script>Rania, Style Whimsicalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01773406821999436426noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7744709990193679765.post-87649220438586507672017-03-07T11:13:00.000+07:002017-03-07T11:15:21.113+07:00Outfit and Style Tips: Wear it simply with a fine dress and wudhu-friendly tights<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1AnCsSvAzBo/WL1AfSauy5I/AAAAAAAABbs/Iqd2HHDfIV4bysarBItjv5X2idxFWMggQCLcB/s1600/2017-01-23%252C_DSC7203.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1AnCsSvAzBo/WL1AfSauy5I/AAAAAAAABbs/Iqd2HHDfIV4bysarBItjv5X2idxFWMggQCLcB/s1600/2017-01-23%252C_DSC7203.JPG" /></a></div><br />Based on my observation and from my own experiences, as a hijab wearer, most of us tend to wear complicated or layered outfit (we call it <i>ribet</i> in Indonesian language). It basically is natural, since we are wearing clothes for not only cover our body, but also our full arms and head to toes (except the face). So, we also wearing a scarf, with an inner-scarf inside; and some ladies are wearing pants under their dress, plus sock; and sometimes we need a long-sleeved top/jacket over our dress to cover our arms, and so on. Not to mention the jewelries (pin, brooch, necklace, bracelet, ring, etc.) we sometimes wearing, too...<br /><br />Even though I'm a big fan of layered outfit (I love combining textures, colors, shapes, graphics in an outfit), but there were times I was in a "lazy mood" or felt "running out of time", and I just want to wear my outfit simply.. yet still look polished.<br /><br />An easy solution, that probably almost hijab wearers know, is by wearing a long-sleeved maxi dress and an instant (slip-on, no pin needed) hijab/headscarf. It's really an 'easy' outfit for a hijab wearer. I frequently wear this kind of outfit especially when I drop my kids at school in the morning! -- you're most likely know what I mean if you're a mom, too.<br /><br />As for your information, there are so many stylish and easy-to-wear instant hijabs being sold out there, online or offline -- I found that some of these insta-shops; <a href="https://www.instagram.com/misisdevi_katalog/" target="_blank">Misis Devi</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/idolacollection/" target="_blank">Idola Collection</a>, and <a href="http://instagram.com/heaven_lights/" target="_blank">Heaven Lights</a>, are selling instant hijabs that look fabulous and comfort to wear.<br /><br />But, when at the times when all you want to wear is a "simple" outfit -- just a piece or two --, yet you still want to look exquisite, my advice is wearing a 'one piece' FINE dress. Whether it has intricate details, delicate embellishments, lovely ruffles, fancy pockets, unique collars/sleeves, or beautiful embroideries. It's all you need! Just slip into this 'one piece'.. and voila! It's easy and you instantly look polished. As a vintage clothing lover, I definitely prefer vintage-inspired dresses, like this Edwardian-inspired dress which has intricate details and lovely ruffles at collar and sleeves.<br /><br />If you are a girl who used to wear pants/leggings plus socks underneath your dress, you can opt-in for a pair of wudhu-friendly tights instead, to be worn underneath your dress... since they are simpler to wear compared to 'two pieces' pants plus socks. In this outfit post, I wore cream cotton wudhu-friendly tights which I love so much to be worn with dresses.<br /><br />Do you have any other idea on wearing a simple outfit yet still look stylish?

It's actually a real coincidence, but when I think again, it could be because I'm too conscious and began identifying things surrounding me that has similarity (colors, pattern, etc.) to the outfit I wore (that people usually might not notice)... Like when <a href="http://stylewhimsical.blogspot.co.id/2016/11/outfit-orange.html" target="_blank">I visited a museum wearing orange in my previous post</a> and <a href="http://stylewhimsical.blogspot.co.id/2015/07/outfit-adding-yellow-to-classic-black.html" target="_blank">when I took a walk with little sweetie and we found out that those yellow-black lines on the streetside match our outfits</a>, and when recently I spent some times in a garden whose flowers' color matched my headscarf. <br /><br />And this one also... In <a href="http://stylewhimsical.blogspot.co.id/search/label/Outfits" target="_blank">today's outfit post</a>, my cardigan by chance matched these lovely tiles of Sultan of Yogyakarta's great palace I visited a few weeks ago. I was wearing a mocca pinafore I bought secondhand and paired it with this yellow cardigan, simply to brighten up the nude tone of mocca. And then I met these beautiful tiles, that eventually brighten up my pictures... aren't they?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_2doeoOQB4I/WKQ8bZeXgFI/AAAAAAAABVg/f51_W6EdDAsimAl_FhAU6ZxWuyhiE_3kgCLcB/s1600/January%2B18%252C%2B2017_DSC7052.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I remember seeing <a href="http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/holidays/christmas-ideas/g3004/100-years-of-christmas/?slide=35" target="_blank">an old photograph of Princess Diana</a> holding little William in her arms while sporting this style; a white ruffled blouse worn underneath a short-sleeved red sailor dress. An old 'Mr Bean' movie-scene was also showing this style pulled off by a woman in a department store; blouse/shirt worn underneath a short-sleeved pink suit. <br /><br />Before I wear hijab, about eight years ago, and in the first few years I wore it, and before I have a courage to pull off vintage style (I have a thing for vintage clothing and retro style since ages ago when I was still a teenager --too much reading on European or American vintage children books with images of people wearing "cool" style, and watching old Western movies-- but never thought to pull them off until I started my style blog), I never thought to pair a long-sleeved shirt/blouse with a <b>short-sleeved</b> dress/suit. I had always thought that long-sleeved blouse or shirt can only be worn underneath <b>sleeveless</b> dresses (so, no un-necessary bulky-ness at the upper arms as with short-sleeved dresses).<br /><br />This thought definitely was also influenced by my home-country's tropical climate where sporting 'layers' is not common and most of us here simply aren't naturally good at it. We just can't think of wearing a dress which already has sleeves (short sleeves) with a blouse/shirt which also has sleeves (long sleeves). So, from practicality's point of view, it's like: "what's the point (to wear them at the same time)?!" --Let alone wearing long-sleeved shirt with long-sleeved cardigan as we commonly see in four-seasons countries...<br /><br />Until I wore hijab and I'm still in love with those beautiful vintage dresses that often has short sleeves, and when I found out that 'layers' can spice up your look, I have been learning to 'layers' (including picking the right fabric to match --to reduce possible bulky-ness, and not to forget to test out the outfit's comfort for restricted arm-movement caused by layered sleeves-- and how to mix textures). I can now easily, and enjoyably, mix and match my blouses/shirts with my short-sleeved dresses/suits.<br /><br />Regarding to my early talk about British 1980s-style of ruffled blouse paired with short-sleeved dress/suit, in <a href="http://stylewhimsical.blogspot.co.id/search/label/Outfits" target="_blank">today's outfit-post</a> I wear my short-sleeved vintage dress, not with a ruffled blouse, but rather with this victorian bell-sleeved shirt (I have featured this shirt also <a href="https://stylewhimsical.blogspot.co.id/2017/01/outfit-bomber-jacket-with-statement.html" target="_blank">in my previous post here</a>) since I just want to style up this shirt differently other than under a jacket, sweater or cardigan. This shirt's fabric is a bit thin.. So, actually wearing a short-sleeved dress over a long-sleeved blouse/shirt is really another great option for hijab-wearers if you think your shirt's fabric is a bit thin or sheer but you want to show off its gorgeous collar or its unique sleeves.<br /><br />The vintage dress and the midi skirt I wear here, which are bought at different stores in different time period, are coincidentally having a very similar textured fabric, so having them put together looks like a perfect match to me.<br /><br />That day as we planned to play outside was overcasted with grey clouds, and I thought a blush outfit would brighten it up... (no?). But little sweetie did something more brilliant to cheer us up that day is that by taking those colorful bubbles with her. Yet, it wasn't long... until it started to rain.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fS5Aqfl_6Cw/WI246c-D_pI/AAAAAAAABTo/GOY0pUcovoA7fkN-Lxpte4RfxmZNpzF-gCPcB/s1600/2017-01-29%252CJanuary%2B17%252C%2B2017_DSC7028.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

A midi skirt with elastic waistline can be worn as a mini dress/skirt, and a long skirt with elastic waistline can be worn as a midi dress/skirt. It depends on where you put on the elastic waistline; on your waist (as it should be) or above your bosom.<br /><br />In this outfit post I wore a floral skirt which is actually a midi skirt. I had worn it before as it actually is, a midi skirt, at <a href="http://stylewhimsical.blogspot.co.id/2016/12/outfit-stripes-and-floral-print.html" target="_blank">my previous post here</a>.. but today I wore it as a mini dress/skirt where its waistline was put on above my bosom. Then I layered it up with a sweater --so it looked more like a skirt. Next time I should wear this skirt with a button-up top or a cardigan which left un-button to show it as a dress...<br /><br />For today's look, I jazzed it up with a kitschy clutch and a pair of socks embellished with embroidered ruffles which had been let out of the pants and the ankle boots.<br /><br />Have you ever styled up your elastic-waistlined skirt in a different way? Please share with us in the comment section below how you wear it...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-djlcGfevZmQ/WIDry7FY3nI/AAAAAAAABQ0/mljCWaHswREumj8udFqZCeHa4MSE33TpACLcB/s1600/January%2B11%252C%2B2017_DSC6915-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The collection was fun, playful, and unique.. surely a reflection of its founder's style. There are so many playful, colorful badges on clothes, wide-legged cropped pants, pleated skirt, fun sleeves; bell sleeves, ruffle sleeves, paired with sweater/jumper or a bomber jacket.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And you know how much I love unique sleeves! Especially those subtle, feminine, vintage or Victorian-inspired sleeves, like bell sleeves, puffed sleeves, or the ones which puff or ruffle on the shoulder (but not in an excessive way).</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So, this time I styled my lace bell-sleeved shirt with a bomber jacket and a pleated skirt. The jacket's sleeves was pulled up bringing out those 'dramatic' lace-sleeves... voila! I love the look. This styling even highlights those sleeves more, and it's kind of mixing the edgy masculine bomber jacket with this feminine Victorian-inspired shirt --which I forgot to photograph. This shirt has a Victorian-inspired design with laces along the edge of its sleeves and collar. The collar's style is a buttoned-up high neck, which also can be un-buttoned leaving the collar laid down. The fabric is a bit see-through so I usually wore it underneath a dress/pinafore/jacket. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-focB_SrKT8U/WHbR12WWYxI/AAAAAAAABOo/NeVPkFFoP7wDL3BNql2J8G3We9JEe33owCLcB/s1600/2016-12-16%252C_DSC6771.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

It's not like I want to know how to apply a complete makeup like for going to a wedding party, glamorous event, or other similar occasions.. I just want to know how to apply a bit makeup to freshen my face; like pulling off a bolder lipstick and how to make a winged eyeliner. Surprisingly, recently I was invited to join the Rimmel London campaign by SheKnows to spread the words out about<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i> </i></span></span>Rimmel London 'Get the Look' App. This new Rimmel London app is a beauty app that lets you try any look you're inspired by. That's an interesting app I think.</div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">You can snap any photo of your favorite makeup look, whether you find it in a magazine, beauty ad, or a makeup look worn by your friend, a model or celebrity, and then you can try out that look on your face. The products will magically appear on your face to try it on live. Then you can share the look you've made-up with your friends on social media. You can also shop recommended products that complete the look right in the app. Isn't that cool?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm quite a beginner in the world of makeup, so an app like this would be so helpful for people like me, at least, I think, to learn and find which makeup style suit my face. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I would love to try it out and get this app myself, but it seemed that this app only available at App Store in several countries, including UK and US, but not worldwide. So, when I tried to install it, there's a pop-up notification on my screen telling that my Indonesian account is not valid for getting this app --you better try to download it yourself, and please write down in the comment section below: your country (if you don't mind) and whether you can successfully installed the app or not. I'd love to know...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">If this app sounds good to you, why don't you <b><a href="http://bit.ly/2hKGjJV" target="_blank">download this app</a></b> and.. like Rimmel London said, experience makeup like never before!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><!-- Please call pinit.js only once per page --><script async="" data-pin-hover="true" src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #666666;">*This post is sponsored by Rimmel London 'Get the Look' App as a part of a campaign with SheKnows.
