Jana over at Hijab Style recently posted about flower pins as a hijab accessory. I DO really love this Turkish bridal style, but, well, it's not hijab, it's a headscarf. But looking at it, I was thinking, I coul TOTALLY ROCK that style with a niqab. I sometimes wear my flip niqab the side. It blows that way anyway since I am almost always losing my top stick pin by the end of the day (to the hazard of people everywhere---sorry Boxie's Mom for the pins I left in your airmcahir and habibi for the crystal encrusted hijab pin that impaled your fancy new sneaks). Anyways, I'd just sort of flip the niqab a little to the side and then slide a brooch or flower pin in as if I was wearing it at my ear. Makes a black niqab less scary to non-muslims who might not know whether I am a funeral-goer or not (cuz I love my black abayas and shaylas and niqabs). To me, it is very flamenco.

Now, where did you find those flower pins?? I have searched high and low for flower pins that don't look dreadfully gaudy ~ but to no avail!
I like the idea of the flowers making it a wee bit less scary...
This has inspired be to start wear mine again although i may pin it in the back instead
