Buy, Sell or Trade: The Purpose Of HijabSwappers

My initial idea for HijabSwappers was for it to be a trading hub for Muslim sisters to sell their used/new hijabs, abayas and other modest clothing to other sisters. There are two ways you could do that. First you can sell through our forum for FREE. We have different categories like

Hijabs
Hijab Accessories
Niqabs / Burqas / Khimars
Jilbabs / Abayas
Sarees
Salwar Kameez
Skirts
Dresses / Maxi
Sweaters / Hoodies
Formal Wear
Tops / Tunics / Kurta

YOU set the prices that you would like to sell your items for and post them in the forum. If someone is interested in buying it they could either pay you through paypal or negotiate the price and then pay. If you live in other countries you could still sell on HijabSwappers but you MUST indicate the country you live in so that potential buyers know what they are getting into.

The second way to sell your items is via auctions. It is exactly like eBay but with Islamic clothing. The auctions we are still working on and I anticipated I would be ready by mid October but that has been pushed to early November inshaAllah.

The purpose of the blog was to keep you update as I a was launching HijabSwappers and to put halal outfits together. Now the blog's purpose will be to keep you informed of the new developments, articles about hijab, trends and I will still be making outfits inshaallah.

So guys go Sell your stuff!

Does anyone wear a slip any more?

and I don't mean a slip in lieu of a dress but a slip under a dress or a skirt. I find that the dress or skirt flows better and it clings less to the body (depending on the material). I would actually wear a skirt that was too small or no longer fit me modestly underneath a larger skirt. It added extra material so that when the wind would blow the shape of my legs wouldn't be exposed. It also added a little more weight and volume to my skirt so it would be harder for it to just blow around. For example I would wear the skirt on right underneath the skirt on the left. As long as the skirt on the bottom was smaller and slightly tighter than the one above it.

That is how I would recycle skirts it saved me a lot of money on slips and it kept perfectly good clothing from being trashed for no reason. Target actually has pretty decent prices on slip but I do enjoy knowing I am not contributing (too much) to the landfills.
