Snag Her Style! - Modest Marvel Essra Azim

Remember how we chased down Essra Azim at the ISNA bazaar?  Who wouldn't after seeing what she wore?


Snag her style with a few similar-but-not-the-same items we found for that modest Muslim polished look.  Mix and match with our style finds below!







Snag her style! - Modest Marvel Urooj Shakeel

Classic, chic, and timeless - that's how we'd describe Urooj Shakeel's look at ISNA on Day 1.  You guys have made her one of our tops posts on Greater Lengths this week.


While it's hard to find the exact top Urooj wore (an original cannot be duplicated!), snag her style with a few of these classic red tops.  Careful of the hem length - you may want to ensure that these tops will float past your waist for the extra coverage Urooj was able to create.

Snag Her Style! - Modest Marvels Noor Tagouri

Now that we've found them, dress like them!  We scoured the web to find you how to dress like our Modest Marvel picks from ISNA, Day 1.  (Day 2 is forthcoming!)

Our first Modest Marvel, Noor Tagouri, had paired harem pants with a chiffon Zara blouse.  She added her Oasis Pleat Vela scarf and gladiator sandals to complete the look.


With a few items from Urban Outfitters, J. Crew, and Charlotte Russe, you can have her stylish-yet-modest look:

Modest Marvel: Dima Zohny (ISNA, Day 1)

As a mom, it's easy to make style your last priority but this super-mom was masha'Allah watching a gaggle of kids while tearing up the runway at ISNA!

Name: Dima Zohny
Background:  Currently living in New York, she's a homemaker with two beautiful daughters, masha'Allah!
What we love about her style:  The little touches - the ruffles of her blouse, the daring snakeskin print, the way her cardigan offset the colors in her blouse, and the belt that brought it all together.
Favorite pieces:  Shrugs and cardigans.  'They just bring the outfit together."
About her style:  She recently swore off everything but long skirts and has been loving every minute of a pants-free life!  She bought her skirt from, Zeena, a modest clothing shop catering to Muslim women, which is currently holding a 40% off everything sale!

Modest Marvel: Sidiane Smajlovic (ISNA, Day 1)


Our Modest Marvel, Sidiane Smajlovic, is an inspiration to us as a recent convert who is thriving as a modestly-dressed Muslim woman!

Name:  Sidiane Smajlovic
Background:  Sidiane converted to Islam in January, after learning more about Islam from various videos, posts, and articles.  Masha'Allah!
What we love about her style:  Simiane had nicely paired a trendy, Zara tunic dress in neutral colors with casual jeans - a style that anyone loves!
Fill in the blank:  The top makes the outfit.
About her style:  Sidiane herself stated she does not follow fashion as much as she follows what she likes - generally eclectic pieces that are one-of-a-kind.
About her:  Sidiane is originally from Brazil but came to the US to travel and learn English five years ago, remaining here after meeting her husband.  Now currently residing in Chicago, Sidiane is still new to Islam as a recent convert and came to ISNA to increase her Islamic knowledge.  "It has such a cool atmosphere!", she said with her big, bright smile.
