The reversible Abaya:
This kind is really good for Formal occasions specially if you have toddlers. Not only does it save you from embarrassment when you get stains on the front side but it also gives variety to the user.It comes in handy also when trying to hide from unwanted company. Just go in a secluded corner, change sides and voila! The stain is hidden and you are unrecognisable to those searching for you!😬
The button down:
Be very careful with this one if you have an active toddler. They are bound to rip it open at the most un expected moments showing the real you(in pajamas) in the most critical of situations!( specifically when you are trying to act mature or sophisticated!)
The pullover:
Excellent for walking, jogging and doing errands which involve excessive walking. A big no no for all women get together ,parties. As taking them off is quite problematic.
The electrocuter:
I coined this term myself for those specially glittery kind which blow away anyone in their way and are often a depiction of a very twisted understanding of Surah Nur's ayah about purdah. As their Jilbab gives a distinct warning that: "steer clear, or suffer at your own glance! "😰😑 They can be useful though in dark places and warn any unwanted company of the presence of a Muslim woman🙄
( this post is only for those who can relate to the everyday struggles of a jilbabi 😬, laugh it off)
