Hello loved ones,
Today I'd blog on head coverings... Once I decided on the why/when of covering, I had to address the "what" - namely, what should I wear?! (Here I turned to the internet covering-community!)
Head covering can range from amish-style bonnets, head wraps, lace doilies, veils, hijab-style wraps, hats, mantillas, bandanas and more!
As head covering is not related to any particular denomination for me I have experimented with different styles. Usually I do cover all or almost all of my hair, so I don't wear less covering styles. Sometimes I wear large bandanas which show more of my hair.
Otherwise I head head wraps (the easiest style), square scarves (esp. silk) tied under my chin in an italian/russian style or tied to the side like a more modern eastern european style. I sometimes wear beanies/berrets and long rectangle scarves in a range of styles, occiasonally in a hijabi style, or over my head with an end tossed loosely over my shoulder.
Also any sisters who are interested in modest fashionable dress here are a list of sites of some clothing websites and also (my favourite) some fashion blogs, the best of which is a blog called 'hijabstyle.'
Peace, mercy and grace be with you all
some great fashion sites:

love the pictures. you are really a beautiful girl. I also wear a head covering and I love yours. Have a blessed day. Hugs
I love seeing pictures so I can imagine who I am "talking" to when I write comments. You are so stinkin' cute! You have such a friendly face. I met a few Australians in Syria and they were probably my favorite non-Arabs. Soooo fun and friendly! You have the very same look and approachability-factor! :)
heheheh "stinkin' cute" i love it!! I think aussie's come in two categories: love 'em or hate 'em!
We're pretty open and friendly - sometimes too much so, we can come on a little strong for some people- like german's who are more formal until you get to know them better.
The downside to this is the type of australian for whom relaxed = slob, down to earth= ignorant bogan and open = vulgar!
Ha! I liked your descriptions of your people. Too cute. I think many of those traits could be said for Americans. It seems we are similar to y'all in some ways. I noticed I got along best with the Australians rather than the Germans or Dutch. They were nice, but more reserved. The Aussies joked and laughed with us. I loved that!
to anyone who reads this post and thinks "what photos??" I have just deleted them now. Since then I have posted photos with the face obscured, and because I am now blogging on some sensitive issues, I don't want to be easily indentifiable!
Hope you all understand, thanks!!
