Shukr - I went shopping


I couldn't help myself. When Shukr has a sale you just have to jump on it. Their stuff is so expensive otherwise. Now I just have to put a reminder in my phone to tell me to put the money back into my savings after Christmas. Is it weird that I just spent Christmas money at an Islamic clothing store? :)

This is what I got:

Black dress with ruffles. This I actually need for an anime convention (long story, for those who are anime fans, I'm making a Freya from Chobits costume) but I thought it was super cute anyway. I can definitely play with this and add some flare to it.
These pants are totally cute. They're $30USD!!!!

I needed a basic brown skirt so I chose this one.

This dress is my favorite purchase. It has little buttons down the front and an adorable belt. Its also my size and slim cut! Perfect for school.
And my free hijab:


So Happy! Shukr Sale

    Wow, they are all really nice! I can't believe how wide-legged the pants are!!
    I just put in an order for a denim skirt. I've wanted one for a while and got it at a really good price. I just hope it fits!
    Thanks for alerting me to the sale!

    Hijab Chic :Thanks, I LOVE this store. If I do some tweeking to the ruffle abaya I will definitely post it.

    Laila: My denim skirt is now my go to piece of clothing. Im slowly fazing out my regular jeans which is why I was so excited to see these with the super wide legs...its like the 70s are back!

    Do let me know if you love your skirt. I certainly have no complaints about mine.

    Cute stuff!

    And I think it's fine to celebrate Christ's birth. Muslims in the Middle East have a celebration for Muhammad every year so what's the difference? They are both "prophets" according to y'all, right? Muhammad isn't superior to Jesus. You can still celebrate Jesus' birth .. just don't say He is God's Son.

    Susanne: I agree, and that will be for another post closer to Christmas. But rest assured, I am not giving up Christmas.

    That's good. You made me wonder when you said something about was it weird to spend Christmas money at an Islamic store. That's why I brought that up. :)

    I think I'd just read your post about giving up turkey and thought, "Not Jesus too!" :-P

    LOL Susanne you crack me up. One of the things I love most about Islam is that I don't have to give up Jesus. But I do get him in a way in which I better understand.
