BIG STYLE IN LITTLE VENICE

Hey everyone! Since the weather has been super hot, it's quite hard to find modest yet pretty and breathable outfits! So I thought for this blog post I would write about this outfit which I wore when I went into London on a hot day.

I actually don't wear jeans (it's quite rare to find me in them) I usually go for loose fitted, flowy trousers but for this outfit I thought the jeans were perfect and paired really nicely with the top. They're not tight making it modest and I love the hem too! These jeans are from Next which I purchased last year but I'm sure there are similar ones that you can find.

I paired the jeans with this mustard yellow blouse from Primark. I'm really into blouses especially ones with a v neck, I think they can make an outfit look put together and are great for summer. The one I'm wearing is a perfect modest blouse as it's longer at the back so that you're covered.

My red chiffon hijab was kindly gifted to me from my dear aunty which I believe is from Abu Dhabi. It adds a bit more colour into the look and contrasts well with the blouse. I don't usually wear bright hijab colours (I usually stick to neutrals) but I'm trying to wear more bright colours this summer and I felt that this colour looked the best and it's just such a nice shade of red making this outfit even more summery!

For shoes, I'm wearing these light pink pointed flats from Zara which I'm in love with! They're from the Zara Basic Collection and I've been wearing them ever since I bought them! And they are so comfortable and stylish! Perfect with abayas too! Especially all black abayas, the pointed toe stands out, completing the look really well.

Lets talk accessories! I'm wearing this blue, red and white striped bag which I bought from Aldo in Kuwait. I thought it added a touch of detail to this plain yet colourful outfit. If you're looking for high end bag dupes, Aldo is the place to go! They have beautiful bags for different occasions. When I walked into the Aldo store in Kuwait, It was like walking into bag heaven! I didn't know what bag to get! They had so much choice and they all looked amazing, when looking at the bags, I felt like each one was a dupe for a high end bag. They didn't look cheap at all! So, I would highly recommend looking in Aldo. I feel like my bag got some inspiration from Tommy Hilfiger hence the colours and I don't really have a bag like this in my collection. In terms of size and space, I would say it's quite small and you can't fit too much in there. Only just the essentials like your purse, phone etc. So I wouldn't say it's an everyday bag, mainly just for spicing up a plain outfit.

Sunglasses! The pair that I've been wearing non stop are from Ray Ban. I recently purchased them and can't find myself taking them off. I love the gold detailing and think these sunglasses are a little bit different and sophisticated.

I hope you enjoyed reading and InshAllah in the future I'll do more fashion related posts! To see more, follow my Instagram @aleishawritess.
