as a western 22 yr old new convert to islam (im caucasian, american)....im wondering, if i start wearing hijab, would it be less eye-catching in the US to wear hijab but under a cute hat? i think this transition to hijab might be easier for me because i would get less stares and also b/c it would be less shocking to my christian family, but would it seem like i am rejecting islamic tradition by pairing the hijab w/ something western (by a western hat, i don't mean something stupid like a cowboy hat but rather something normal and matching)? my goal is NOT to attract attention to myself, which is the purpose of hijab. im interested in people's thoughts, serious answers only please, thanks.
p.s. i got the idea from this REALLY cute hat/hijab pic linked below:
