Casual Summer Style

Salaam everyone! Enjoying the amazing summer? Hope so! This summer, I've been staying with family in Libya on vacation, so as far as clothes goes, it's been pretty chill. Dressing up has been limited to shopping trips to the city and going to see someone. And of course, finding something to wear is hard because of the daily 100+ degree weather, and I'm totally covered. Go figure, right? Well, this is (pretty much) my usual going-out:

1) Mettalic Gauze Swim Cover Up: $24 at Old Navy, 2) White Wide-leg Twill Jeans: $97 at Overstock, 3) Rectangle Hijab: £6 at Al Hijab World, 4) Bias Stitch Hobo Handbag: $50 at Express, 5) Ray-Ban Aviator Sunglasses: $129.99 at Nordstroms, 6) Wedge Flip Flops: $6 at Old Navy

If you can't tell, I'm a fan of Old Navy, their rubber flip flops are my guilty pleasure. I also have a light, long sleeved white shirt under the cover up for a little extra arm coverage and in case my hijab goes up, and that shirt in other colors is a bit see through. And yes, it's meant to be a swimsuit cover up. But I love it! It's long, loose, and keeps me cool in the summer, the colors are super bright and fun, (I bought it in four colors :D,) and I've gotten tons of compliments on it. I like massive hobo or tote bags for when I'm traveling cause I can fit everything for a whole day, even if I'm spending the night somewhere, in one bag. I don't know how much longer mine will last if I keep stuffing it like I do now, but we'll see. It looks better when its fat as opposed to empty anyways, right?

As for the way Ray-Bans, I wouldn't get them. They're way too expensive. Unless you found them for 5 Libyan Dinar, like me! Knockoffs? Probably. Awesome? Definently =]

Top off with the hijab, I would wrap it in the flowy shayla style, and you got yourself a casual yet fabulous look for traveling in. What do you think?
