Zeena Curdoroy Skirt

I know I've been all skirts and fancy-free lately (there are lots of other daily outfits that can't be skirts, I know) but it's hard at the end of summer not swipe them all for yourself ("Super discounted and versatile?! Don't mind if I do!")

I just want to take a moment to draw your eye to another skirt - on sale! - for $42 from Zeena.  These lightweight curdoroy skirts come in three colors - oatmeal, navy, and steel - and are perfect for autumn strolls on the apple orchard.

Why apple orchards?  Well, because I love them (one of my greatest friends' family owns one here in Virginia) and I can't imagine a more romantic outfit to wear for those fall photos on the apple farm.

At first I was like, No thanks, but now I'm all, Yes please

Jacquard.

If you'd asked me about wearing it a year ago, I would have responded with, "why would I want to look like an upholstered couch?" but lately, I've been thinking, "That couch would make one cute pair of pants!"

I have converted, for no other reason than damn, it's stylish.  It's so retro and mod yet so fashion forward and modern.  It's also a classic fall and winter texture, one that makes this ever-so-blah season sparkle with a little bit of depth.

While lots of jacquard items come in the form of short cocktail dresses that us Muslim women generally don't wear, many great other pieces exist for us hemline-aware ladies (one such is that ridiculously priced and ridiculously awesome pair of jacquard J.Crew pants above).  Check out our modest, Islamically-appropriate, Muslim fashion forward picks below.

Style these pants with a shift dress, or something with a similarly square shape, for that ultimate Mad Men inspired look.

FAVORITE FIND: Best Plaid Plans Long Skirt at ModCloth

Sales are here! More and more stores are starting to put their early fall merchandise on sale and discounted prices to prepare for the big Christmas rush (usually I'm VERY politically correct but let's be honest...December sales are not marketed towards anyone who is not celebrating on December 25th).  Since I am putting off doing this homework assignment (sorry to my group members who are reading this), a little web-browsing at Modcloth, which is revving up its sales, was in order.

Fall and cold weather to me conjures up images of warm, bulky wools and traditional plaid patterns.  Fortunately, Modcloth currently has this long schoolhouse plaid skirt.  I've been wanting a long plaid skirt for a classic look to go with my boots.  Between 37-38" inches long from waist to hemline (that's over 3 feet!), this is sure to fall past your knees to the mid-calf region - perfect for pairing with tall boots and achieving Muslim, modest style.

It's currently priced at $31.99 (and another 3.5% back in cash if you buy through Ebates!) and has every size in stock.

Dress in Autumn - Scarlets, Russets, Maroons, & Burgundies

In anticipation for this supposed storm that's hitting the Northern Virginia region/entire East Coast region, my brother and I decided to rake the leaves lying outside (wet leaves are SUCH a hassle).  The storm is not here but the leaves are gone, and with it, all the beautiful scarlets and maroons and golds and pumpkins and burnt oranges and yellows that littered the lawn in such a Picasso-like dazzle of color.

You can recreate the look of an autumnal yard with some of these finds.  Check out the other posts (like this one on mustards and golds) for all your fabulous modest and stylish Muslim women clothing finds.  There's something for everyone this fall!
