{GLASSES!}


{BIG EXCITING NEWS!! I got glasses!!! FINALLY! I've been struggling for at least a year but never had money to get them tested. In the past 7 years I went from 20/25 vision to 20/80! Not good! But ALHAMDULILLAH I can see now! I was crying when I put them on because i forgot what it's like to see properly}

{One of my friends told me I looked "Urban" today! haha I never in a million years thoughts I'd wear something urban. I'm usually bohemian chic, classic, or girly. Never urban. I'm super excited to add urban to my eclectic description!}

{I also really love these shoes! They're bright silver with cutouts. I never wear them because they often look weird but with these pants I really loved how they looked! Yay! It doesn't take much to make me happy, can you tell? LoL}

{Tulle}



{I really like this hijab style! Well actually it's my usual hijab style but I took a tip from {{{Hijabified Chika}}} & used a headband to secure my hijab instead of pins! The headband was much more comfortable on the outside of the hijab & I didn't get a headache all day!}

{I also LOVE this skirt! One day I was leaving Forever 21, frustrated from finding nothing yet again, and this huge mountain of tulle catches my eye! I'm like "Holy Moly Bajoly my life is complete!!!"}

{Maxi}

{I'm not into maxi skirts that much. I feel weird in them. That being said, I'm trying to like them. It was in the 40s so that's why I'm wearing a heavy sweater. 2 days prior it was 80. 80 to 40 in 48 hours!}

{A New Year - 3 New Habits}

{I have never made New Years resolutions. I always thought they were stupid. I always told myself if I wanted to make changes, I could do it any day, not just New Year's Day. However, yesterday I got into this strange optimistic mood. I thought about how AMAZING last year was. That being said, there are things I didn't accomplish}





{These resolutions aren't things that I am forcing myself to start right away. All my accomplishments in my life have been slow processes. I want to slowly accomplish these resolutions throughout the year, starting with small steps}

{I will update you guys throughout the year, inshaAllah, and let you know if or when I accomplish them! So here we go!}




{{{Resolution 1: Cut Out Diet Soda}}}



{One thing I accomplished in 2010 was drinking more water. I used to NEVER drink water. One time I realized it had been weeks since I drank pure water! I was utterly disgusted. By the end of the year, I was drinking at least one bottle of water every day. However, I still drink Diet Coke}

{Whenever I drink a Diet Coke, the whole day I ravenously crave sugar. When I don't drink one, I don't even want sugar at ALL. I also don't like how fake & processed it is. I hope to fully cut it out this year}




{{{Resolution 2: Be More Daring w/ Clothes}}}



{I know I'm not completely boring with my clothes but when I see other bloggers, I think about how much more daring they are. My biggest dream for the year is to not only have muslim followers, but non-muslim followers. I want people to visit my blog for its fashion, not just modest fashion}

{I extremely appreciate all my followers. However, I just want to be stylish - not "stylish for a muslim"}




{{{Resolution 3: Cut Out Blue Jeans}}}



{If you watch my youtube videos, you will know about my recent confession… I don't like blue jeans anymore! It was a very fast realization after THIS post. Those jeans just looked so horrible & unflattering on me! Thats when I realized I don't like blue jeans}

{They're so uncomfortable and my shape is so extremely hourglass that I can never find a good fitting pair. I really hope I can step out of my boundaries. Hopefully, I will only keep a couple flattering pairs & rid the rest!}




{So what are you resolutions? I really want to know! Tell me in the comments or create a post & link it below}
