A Hijabi's Long Black Dress



Flipping through fashion magazines, you always find  �The Little Black Dress��every girl should have one! But what about us who cant wear that little black dress? Worry not because we have our own Black Dress: the Long Black Dress! Whether it is a black maxi, black abayah or even a black skirt, it is your best friend. It is transformable through seasons and versatile enough to be worn to any event! I myself have worn it to lunch with my friends, the beach, at dinner with my husband and local community events. Here a few different ways that you can utilize the Long Black Dress throughout the year.
1)    Floral Fun

Maxi Skirt & Scarf: H&M // Jean Shirt: Forever 21
Here I paired a jean shirt with a black maxi skirt and a fun floral hijab. I would definitely wear this out to brunch with my friends. Maxi skirts can be made casual like above with a jean shirt or a graphic tee and cardigan. For a night look, I would definitely wear a chiffon blouse with a blazer and some heels.

2)   Summer Brights
Maxi Dress/Crop Top/Scarf: Forever 21
This was my staple look this past summer and definitely will be again this coming spring and summer. Here I paired a black maxi with a crop top! Forever 21 had an abundance of them in so many different colors and prints; it was hard not to buy them. This look can be worn this season now with a pastel or sparkle short sweater on top. The best part about this look is, its extremely comfortable!

3)   Vested Abayah
Maxi Dress/Jean Vest/Scarf: Forever 21 // Bag: Zara 
These days I am loving vests! Although above I am wearing a maxi with a long sleeve tee underneath, it can easily be replaced with a black abayah. You can wear all types of vests on top such as a jean vest, leather vest and if you want to really be bold then a fur vest! All black and possibly a cream fur vest with some pop of color accessories would be great for a night out!

4)   Bold Blazer
Maxi: Forever 21 // Blouse, Scarf, Bag: Joyce Leslie // Blazer: H&M
            This last look is the most recent. It may seem as if I am wearing a skirt but I have actually paired this blouse with a black maxi. I added a blazer to give the look some structure.  Blazers, in all colors and prints, can be found in all stores such as Forever 21, H&M, Zara and Urban Outfitters. Printed blazers and contrast sleeve blazers are really in for Spring 2013 and are a perfect match for a black maxi or abayah.

I hope after this post you invest in your own Long Black dress, whether it�s a maxi dress, a skirt or an abayah. It is my go to piece and maybe now it�ll be yours too! I'll leave you with some more ways I've styled the Long Black Dress :)
