If I wore pink I'd look like a big piece of Bazooka bubble gum..lol.

I know you like the bright hijabs! Hey, rajaa and I are gonna get off the couch and move, can you inspire us?

bwahaha, you'll have to motivate me too Once the weather gets a bit warmer and the ice melts off the sidewalks, I'm going to start running again, inshaAllah. I think there's indoor running here at the metrodome during the winter, so I may check that out. It's been quite awhile since I've been running

i love them all!! definitly my style too...but i dont dress like that here much; im still not comfortable

they re very expensive; in egypt they r not as expensive...may be starting at 3O$ and up.

Oh, I know. I'm collecting pictures of abayas I like (mainly gulf style), and when the husband goes to egypt in september, inshaAllah he's going to have some tailored for me.

Modest Clothes.com has a list of stores that sell plus sized clothes - http://www.modestclothes.com/islamic/dept/...c-clothing.html

I've ordered from Shukr, Jelbab.com and IslamicBoutique. Unfortunately, there aren't too many sales or good deals. I keep checking the shukr clearanced. I used to be able to get skirts there for $20, but now they rarely go below $30. Their stuff is really high quality though, and lasts a long time. The skirt I'm wearing right now I got from there probably 2 and a half years ago, washed it probably 50 times, and it's still in great shape.

I've been drooling over silk route abayas for years, but apparently if you're over a US size 12, they don't fit. So the goal now is to get down to a size 12 for eid inshaAllah. Going on a walk at lunch today to start, and then will do a pilates dvd when I get home inshaAllah.

So I'm thinking this one in pink, this one in green (squee, it's a packer's abaya!), and/or this one in black.

and inshaAllah if we make hajj in a few years, this one in white for my "ihram."

Oh heck, if I lose enough weight to get down to a size 12, I may just have to buy them all to celebrate.

gotta question absolutly love the green one my husband's futball team's colors btw. anyway, when you say size 12 i am assuming a lose cut 12??? I am typically a 10/12 with some junk in the trunk you know???? Also, never ordered from a an overseas company stating euros i am going to think at the end they can convert it over to $$ yes?

and yeah gotta start moving JJ and I are going to look at doing a 5 K this summer insha'allah.... I want to be a hijabie finishing in the middle of the pack with pride.

Someday I will - I don't think I have too many items in lilac - I'm more of an aqua blue girl myself.

Unfortunately, my friend who's ordered from them tells me they're cut for very slim, asian (read pakistani/indian) women, so if you have any curves, it's touch and go. And yes, if you do order overseas, they'll use the current exchange rate and charge your card in dollars.

I used to run 5ks a lot, but I'm really out of shape and practice now. I had been planning on running a half marathon this spring, but yeah, not going to happen.
