So as some of you may know I am Arabic, which means a ton of engagement parties, Henna parties, bridal showers and of course weddings. One big thing I would like to do in this blog is help young women find different ways ?to cover up. Cover up you ask- But why? For example, being Arabic I have to dress modestly and it’s not appropriate for me to wear spaghetti straps to a wedding (I usually have a shirt under or a cardigan over). I am not saying you won’t see me in tanks every so often, because I am sure you will. I hope this can inspire some girls to find the right way to “cover up”.?So here are a few pics of my adorable dresses (including a traditional arabic thobe) and my friends.?

Me and Y at her Shower. No, it is not actually zebra, its just black and white striped. Can you guess where I got it from? Haha.

Me with the beautiful bride E. As you might be able to see here, my gorgeous Sean Collection dress is cut down the front J.Lo-style. I didn’t have the heart to close it up with some fabric, so I just went on a search until I found the perfect shirt to wear under it. My mom and I hunted everywhere, but got lucky and found it at Rave Girl.?
Here is one without the shirt, so you can see how awesome it would look. BTW, Sean Collection is my FAVE dress designer. I have 4 dresses by them and would buy 100 more if I could afford too.?

This is me and my friend H at Y’s Henna Part. I am wearing a traditional Arabic Thobe with a modern twist to it. It is usually worn on Henna parties by the bride’s family or close friends. I own 3 and I really like them. When I was younger I hated them, but of course I grew into my awesome fashion sense and learned how to make traditional fashionable.

So what do you guys think? Do you like the traditional Arabic Thobe? Do you have any awesome cultural outfits you absolutely love??
