The "Wear It Right" Campaign

This is what Sue Anna Joe posted on her blog and tumblr:

"Menutup aurat secara sempurna. It’s not easy. It’s a process. But for the love of Islam and Allah, let us improve ourselves both spiritually and physically. For those who are wearing the hijab, let’s do it right!
Apa kata kita mulakan dengan melabuhkan hijab, shawl, pashmina, scarf, tudung kita biar menutup dada. Hopefully I can commit to this. Sebab aku pon selalu je selempang tudung. It’s not nicelah. Dada tu sebenarnya lebih menggiurkan dari rambut.
So do join this campaign! Spread it in your own blog, tumblr, etc. Kalau korang nak print buat fliers pon boleh gambar ni aku bagi kebenaran. Sangatlah dialu-alukan.
Oh by the way, WIR stands for Wear It Right. Hehe. So come on girls, let’s do this. Covering the chest is the best!"
 
She had this illustration done too,
Very, very conspicuous.

And something I'm slowly instilling in myself, and wardrobe. The downside is, most of my hijabs are quite short and do not cover the chest well. Nonetheless, I think I've found a solution. If my hijab for the day is short (I've mixed the long and short ones together, and syria hijabs are in pairs so I think you can imagine how disorganized it can be, thus finding the "perfect" one for class or going out is tedious at times), I will wear a cardigan or something to cover my "girls". Then, they won't be so noticeable. And I really thank God for giving me the size that they are (I have no intention whatsoever to insult big-chested girls; every size is lovely, really really) because well, nothing much is there.

I have a feeling that 2011 is a year of change. Definitely for the betterment of me.
