Ode to My Fashion

Hello my loves! How are you doing? Ramadan Mubarak to my Muslim readers! Ramadan has started. This year will be so different. In my country, mosques are not open to the public. We will not be able to pray there after we break the fast like we always do. I think it will be hard for some because Ramadan is a time to reflect but also to share. Many people donate fresh meals at the Mosque every day during that month. And many poor people flock to the mosques in hopes of having something to break their fast. How can we keep this tradition under the curfew? As you know, I have been working from home for over a month now. I have to admit that it can be quite challenging. As it is very new to me, I have found it hard to adjust. I love my work and in the past, I have enjoyed staying at the office working late. But one thing I try to do is not to bring my work in my home. I am even reluctant to answer work related phone calls after working hours unless it is an emergency. But since th...

Good day to you all! Although I am working mostly from home now, I still have to go to the office once or twice a week. I made a little effort today to get out of my jeans and tees routine to go to work. I wore a skirt, a brand new skirt that I bought half off weeks ago. I have been into skirts lately, pencil, ruffled, printed. I think that in the past 6 months, I have acquired a reasonably versatile collection of skirts perfect for work or play. Now I just need a black pencil midi skirt .

I love me some floral but I rarely go for ditsy prints. I prefer large floral patterns. Yet I fell for this skirt. And it might have been a mistake. As much as I like the skirt, it does not suit me well. The shape is between an A-lin...

Hello everyone! I hope all of y'all are doing fine in this new coronavirus era. Some of y'all might be working from home, or being confined. It is hard for everyone but I am praying that you are safe. Since I posted last, more people have been contaminated with the virus in my country. As I type this, we have 137 people infected with the virus who are being treated right now. We also have had two deaths: a former president of a french football club, and woman in her late 50s. The government is testing suspected cases but not everyone has symptoms, or comes forward so it is hard to really know how many people are sick. The government also took some major decisions such as ordering a state of emergency until May 4th, curfew from 8 pm to 6 am, closing all the schools, forbidding big events in public or inside and closing all borders finally. The clergy and part of the Muslim clerics decided to stop the public prayers at the church and at the mosque, and all major religious cel...
