Anyway, i recently placed an order from Hijab Fashion Shop after viewing some of their hijabs on their website. As soon as i saw them, i knew they were sold...to me! I love decorated hijabs and i especially love the flowery design...i don't care what season it is, i don't care if there is a monsoon outside or snow up to my knees, i'll still rock my loud and proud flowery hijabs, I LOVE THEM!
Anyway, i fell in love with almost all of the hijabs (from the 'latest stock' collection) and decided to by a couple. Of course a couple turned into three, then four, then five...and i resisted a sixth by purchasing two accessories for hijabs. Now i am watching the purse strings believe it or not and it all totalled up to around £38 including delivery. My thoughts on the price...well each scarf ranged from about £5-£6.50 i think and i do believe this was pulling on me purse strings a little as i usually buy my decorated/ flowery hijabs from Whitechaple (East London) which almost always have an offer of 3 hijabs for £5. But i consoled myself by comparing it to the value of a pair of jeans or a jacket and felt that it was justifiable (is there such word?!) to buy 5 hijabs (+ 2 accessories) than 1 jacket or a pair of jeans for £35-40, won't you agree fellow hijabis?
5 hijabs: far left is crinkly (i think i may iron it though), purple, light grey, dark grey and black...all with flowers :)
I received a couple of emails to say they had recieved my order and it was processing...and then dispatched...after like TWO DAYS! I must give it to them, delivery time could not be faulted! It came in a pretty pink package (i'm not keen on pink if you don't know already) and i couldn't believe my eyes...i tore it open like i would my doner kebab box, tearing away at it ferociously with my fingers first and when i was failing with that then i had to use the teeth (i wanted to use the little kid on Christmas metaphor but i know that's been rinced!), like i hadn't eaten for weeks or as if it was a competition with my siblings of who can open the kebab box the quickest and eat the most within 60 seconds...anyway, you catch my drift, i was desperate to see what these scarves looked like!!!
Hijab accessories
I was not at all disappointed. I loved each and every hijab...they even kindly included two hijab pins for free and i'm a sucker for freebies (hey i'm Asian, it's natural!).
Overall, very happy with my purchase and i will recommend this website to all you ladies.
Farewell darlings,
