Wrapped in Love to Dress
12:22:00 PM
A wrap dress I wore on 23rd
March 2014. Exactly a month ago.
This was the day I went to see
the dearly departed and much-missed blogger friend Ami Schaheera at the
hospital just a few days before she unexpectedly passed away. The day I went to
Mufti Menk’s talk at Pullman Hotel Bangsar with my sister Fahima Salleh. The day
I went to dear Lisa Surihani’s kenduri doa selamat at her home.
This was what I wore. That day.
To be honest, I’ve been wanting
to blog about this look since about 1 month ago but there were things in my
mind and my heart which stopped me from doing so.
I realized this past week that a
lot of my unpublished or un-blogged posts are basically a consequence of this
reason. Something that I feel like sharing but I know I couldn’t share here.
It’s a bit complicated to explain but it’s like I have a personal attachment
regarding certain things so those things that I am unable to put in words stops
me from posting what should be a simple straightforward post. Something that I
just have to learn to overcome as a blogger.
See? This should be in another
post! Maybe I’ll blog on that one day.
Back to the look that I wore.
As I was going to a talk I
thought the abaya-like dress would be appropriate as it looks very modest and
as Lisa told me that the theme to the doa selamat was pastel-ish, I chose to
wear the pastel grey shawl and the pastel coloured ikat jeans. The last time I
wore the jeans was when I was pregnant 2 years ago. Love it as it is a gift
from the husband.
I love that the tag of the dress
mentions the prayer when putting on new clothes. So thoughtful.
I wore the dress the whole day
that day and it was really comfortable and I’ve always liked dresses with zip
at the arms which makes it easy for ablution before prayers. I think the first
dress I wore last year was the Syomir Izwa dress by Zawara.
Last year I’ve worn a dress from Love
to Dress too. See my post “Twirling in Love to Dress”.
