Crinkled scarf and Animal print.

I bought a nice crinkled grey hijaab with lovely pink cashmere pattern from A Touch of Beauty. Yes, a large one, which gives a nice puff, without a camel hump. A fold or two were enough to give good volume. It was available in a light cotton material, which is perfect for the summer. (I have of late seen same cashmere designs on pashminas).
However, the housekeeper decided to iron it out after washing, leaving me completely devastated! (well, I'm exaggerating) Yet it remained completely wearable, like any normal scarf would.

Animal prints are in,as you may know, if you flip through designer abaya magazines. It is an equally big trend on catwalks, as you may spot in the Roberto Cavalli 2012-2013 Winter Collection. However, it is no excuse  to wear it top to toe. You can adapt the trend to look modest and wearable (being a hijaabi, you want to avoid flashy stuff at all cost). I chose this lovely Brown Crinkled scarf, which does not have the leopard print all over (or is that a tiger print?), which I got as a gift from UK. It gives you an amazingly trendy look, without being tacky. (Coz wearing a leopard print abaya, plus leopard stilettos, plus leopard clutch, plus leopard scarf makes you look like well...a leopard!)
