The original idea was put out by another blogger:
Host: Emily @ Do Not Conform…
Information: The challenge is to wear only skirts/dresses for an entire week of seven days, and then post a photo of your outfits (head to toe) on your blog…. read more.
Date: Tuesday, May 4th through Monday, May 10th
Here is my outfit for today:
I got the skirt last year at the Somali mall in Minneapolis. I really haven't bought many clothes since last year.
As you can see, I'm a big fan of layering. I typically wear a tanktop under everything, regardless of the weather. I will usually wear another shirt and a hoodie if the weather isn't hot. I love long skirts, but I think they only look long enough if they're basically dragging the ground. That doesn't work so well here in rainy Portland, so I've also picked up a few tunics and longer tops to wear with jeans. As you can see, no hijab today, perhaps I'll add one tomorrow.
And not to leave Layla out,

I love it Masha'Allah! Long skirts are awesome. And I looooove the Somali store that I go to in Boston; they always have the best variety of skirts and hijabs.
Cute! I love that idea... and your outfit :-D
You both look very lovely! :)
MashaAllah nice :-D
Cool idea! I love the skirt.
i think the first time i ever went to a somali mall was with you.. :)
@geestig.asher, funny I think I was the 1st person to introduce lots of NCU students to the wonder of the Somali mall :-)
Some people would call me to get Sambusa with them.
@Banana Anne, Aren't they great? Skirts from regular stores are usually that awkward 1/2 calf length. Somali stores always have the long khimars, which are nice too.
aww great idea!!!! I loved reading your little posts about it and seeing the pics.
btw if you need more long skirts...lemme know, long cute skirts are everywhere and really cheap!
@Umm Ibrahim, InshaAllah I definitely will. I'll probably be looking to switch out a couple of them for new ones pretty soon.
