So spring is finally here and it’s the perfect time to pull out those bold and vibrant colors to pair with some funky patterns and cute accessories. For this date night look I decided to go with this bright red high-low dress I bought recently on one of my latest thrifting sprees. As soon as I saw her I absolutely fell in love!! To not have an actual label for me to credit for the sheer beauty and grace in this piece is an absolute travesty. My guess is someone had it personally made and then passed along this awesome treasure for me to find. So Shout out to the fabulous unknown seamstress…Your work will not go unrecognized!! And she will be loved and cared for always until she is passed on again.
The high-low dress would be a great addition to anyone’s wardrobe with the empire waist making it flattering for all body types. I just love the easy, breezy and effortless flow of the full circle skirt. The fit and color were a perfect match made in thrifting heaven for me.This color was an amazing shade of fiery red with just enough brightness to light up a room but not too bright that it would completely blind vulnerable eyes lol.
I toned the dress down a bit with a pair of straight Gap blue jeans and jazzed it up with a pair of striped Gianni Bini ivory and gold pumps. I also decided to go with more muted shades of ivory and gold for my accessories including my earrings, my bracelets as well as my necklace. The necklace is actually a belt that just fit perfectly as my necklace for this ensemble. Gotta love a good twofer!!
But what I love most about this outfit has got to be this beautifully textured Just Fab clutch bag that pulls the outfit completely together. The patterns and embroidery on it are simply gorgeous adding just the right mix and hints of color. Clutches are one of my favorite pieces to thrift. There are so many amazing styles to choose from which makes them a great way to add further dimension, color and style to your completed look.
And last but not least a blue denim colored hijab seemed to be the perfect fit to complete the total look. This particular hijab fabric is a jersey knit which I am starting to gravitate more towards due to them being non slip and no fuss. Don’t you just hate having to adjust a constantly sliding hijab or any piece of clothing for that matter all day long?!? I know I do…Ain’t nobody got time fuh dat!! lol
What I wore: Necklace/ Belt: Park Avenue Thrift $1.50
Dress: Plato’s Closet $10
Jeans: Goodwill $5
Shoes: Goodwill $6
Clutch: Goodwill $5
Total Look Thrifted for less than 30 Bucks!!! #thethriftyhijabi

Sakinah.
Ameen…Thank you much sis!!
Masha Allah such a beautiful look – I cannot believe you pulled most of it together from secondhand items! Reading your blog for the first time – great idea masha Allah!
Thank you so much Soni!! People would be surprised by the amount of treasures one can find in secondhand items.
I absolutely loved your blog.
The layout with all of the different photos was gorgeous.
As someone who reads a lot of blogs ( many that I rarely revisit), I can say that for me the flow of it
was spot on.
It wasn’t too wordy that it lost you, but just wordy enough to make me believe you enjoy what you do and will hopefully not get bored with keeping up your blog after we’ve been sucked in..lol.
The descriptive captions about the clothing kept me pulled in, and gave me ( a not so fashionable) thrifter a lot of new fashion options to try.
My favorite finds from this blog were
1. The use of a belt for a necklace 😱.
2. Wearing a bold colored dress on top of jeans.
Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
