If you wish to go for a classic Arab look, adding height and volume to your scarf, here is some inspiration for you. Wear your Hijab, adding multiple layers to it. This may be worn as a turban wrap or can be wrapped around the face. Make sure to use a small scarf which you are able to hide beneath the second scarf. Choose a colored or printed scarf to wear on top for a stunning look. We really like the use of a fringed scarf which is adding details to the overall outfit. The bright scarf is a great way to add color to a simple, black outfit. You may want to skip this look if you live in a hot climate as it would turn your hair into a sweaty mess. However, it can definitely be sported during fall and winter.

I am so sick of hatred in our country. My heart is broken for our Muslim family killed in London Ontario Canada today by a hate filled messed up 20 year old domestic terrorist. Done! Talk is cheap. I will wear a Hijab tomorrow in support of all Muslims. My love to all my Muslim Canadians and New-Comers. Enough is enough.
