its nothing i am planning on doing full-time - if you follow the masri blog you will know why i wore it for the day. anyway, one reader asked me to report back on what it was like to wear it.
here is how it started -
i had on a teal coloured niqab and a black hijab, but as i was standing in front of the fridge at home, i decided i was thirsty and so went to drink straight from the jug of water in the fridge. i forgot i had the niqab on and tried to drink through it. i ended up with a very wet niqab and a face and chest full of water. not happy.
so i had to peel the wet teal niqab off my face and change into something else. i ended up wearing a black niqab that i bought from here ($6), with a pink hijab and this abaya that i bought from here ($41).

wearing it out in public was good. i didnt feel at all nervous and i actually forgot i was wearing it. if i did receive any stares, i certainly didn't notice. the only downside was that it got hot very quickly and the tip of my nose was continuously itchy because of not being used to having fabric on my face.
i would say to give it a go - try it out for a day and see how you like wearing it. its not something i would do full-time (i dont think it is fard), but it definately was a good experience and a little bit of fun.
