Salam girlies!! so ima new hijabi (since the day after ramadan yayy), BUT i don't know what basic stuff to buy to create my wardrobe. I haven't shop since then and tbh my outfits are horrible. I'd like to dress modestly and wear less of jeans trousers...

For now i have a denim skirt (which is horrible to walk with...), a button up and 3 long sleeved blouse. However only one of these is long in the back. (a lot of my spring summer tops where sort of crochet long/medium sleeves, i love it so much, i used to wear them with a tank top but i cant anymore so if anyone hase a way to halalify it ??)

So you can understand it is kind of difficult to dress lol.

I am searching for affordable long maxi skirt (i am 1M70), maybe i should buy like 3 of them in different colors to switch. And maybe one or two maxi dresses.

ALSO, the girls that weat glasses how do you do? When i where an underscarf, the glasses let the small hair out, and when i dont it also does that. also how come the underscarf hurts the ears so much?

Thanks for the tips and help in advance !!

salam girlies, i need your opinion!! im 23 and i feel like my parents prevent me from living a normal life. Does it ever end? I dont really want marriage to be my only option to live a bit...

For context i am not one to get out a lot, i usually spend all my days studying at the library, i am always home by maghrib etc, whenever i do stuff it is taking a coffee with friends once every two months.

i have this sort of pressure where i have to make plans according to my family.

I dont have a lot of money from my parents (which is totally normal) AND I am not allowed to work to make my own... So whenever i want to do stuff with my friends i always have this matter of money, and even when i sort it out it's not enough for them.

For instance i told them i was going out four days prior, the thing is with people they know by names, in broad daylight and FOUR DAYS LATER. They answered with attitude as if i had done something bad, and why i did not tell them earlier? and why am i not asking for permission? etc. Mind you I am 23.

Am i crazy or are they trying to control me? I am not one to be a problem, i am religious, i do stuff around the house idk...

I genuinely feel limited in my social life bc of my parents, there always is something with them. I wanted to go to the movies with a friend, they told me not to go bc it ended after maghrib, I had a dinner organized before ramadan, and they told me not to go, all my group went... it is not rare occurence, they do stuff like this.

I literally struggle to keep friendship bc of their rules. It's strict in disguise bc they act nonchalant about it...
