Here's another Favorite Find I couldn't wait to post.
This Ark & Co Tie Neck maxi dress features a fully lined, banded waist skirt. With a cut that elongates the shoulders, the dress can be worn with a flowing sleeves under it (see example here) or a traditional long cardigan. I recommend pairing it with bright colors for some extra pizazz (almost any color would work - I'm imagining something aqua - then again, I really want to go to the beach...).
For only $79 with free shipping and 7% back when you shop through Ebates (use my link referral here to help me get credit!), this dress will become your Favorite Find as well.

FAVORITE FIND: Ted Baker Kriya Sparkle Jersey
In the Reader Request: Eid Evening Gowns post from earlier, I added this gown as an extra in one of the widgets. It was an afterthought of a dress, a fairly plain looking jersey gown with a bit of sparkle.
And then I kept looking at it.
And looking at it.
And it's now one of my Favorite Finds.
Check it:
For $111, you get this long-sleeved, full-length maxi dress. The fitted silhouette will glimmer with silver sheen as you move through a crowd, swishing and swaying, catching light at all angles. The bateau neckline is a flattering cut on any figure, elongating your neck and making your shoulders more graceful. Add a long drop necklace or a trendy necklace bib to add some flair; belt it for a more defined waist; top it with a sleeveless peplum top of any print to transform it into a new dress.
For women who don't like to layer, this is your dress. For women who want a full coverage dress with little fuss, this is your dress. For women who want a little sparkle and uniqueness in one's wardrobe, this is your dress.
Is it growing on you yet?

Reader Request: Eid Evening Gowns
A few years back, a friend invited me to an iftar night out - essentially, grabbing iftar at a halal-friendly eatery (in this case, the wonderfully satisfying Burger 7 where I had not one but TWO burgers to break my fast). Conversation got around to what and where we're finding Eid clothes. I generally look for Pakistani clothes, which either my mom or me will find at the 11th hour, but I embrace anyone who wears American clothes to celebrate - because being American is part of our identity, in addition to any ethnic or other cultural practices we have.
Back to clothes...Yasmin is looking for a sleeved evening gown, and was willing to put down up to $150 for a nice gown for Eid. She wears hijab and prefered not to have to jerry rig any gown to be modest, but will do it if needed. Additionally, she stated she's looking for more "muted" colors, but you guys know me - I live for sequins and embellishments.
A long-sleeved gown in the summer months can be tough, but I put together a few to get Eid clothes shopping kicked off. It's no DKNY Ramadan Capsule Collection, but these might be slightly more Eidee-friendly. Click on the images below to be taken to the retailer!
**Disclaimer: Sizes and stock are limited AND some of these may need to be more modestified than others for Eid.**
1) Laundry by Shelli Segal: $53.99 // 2) House of Fraser Jersey Maxi: $54 // 3) Laundry by Shelli Segal Lace Floral Gown $108
And a few others that wouldn't fit into the layouts. Click on the images to be taken to the retailer!

FAVORITE FIND: Michael Stars Ikat Crochet Back Hi Low Dress
I'm moving all the things I haven't worn in the past two months to the front of my closet. My closet is usually a disaster space as it is, so it needed a good cleanout anyway. One of the items I'm looking forward to unearthing is this Michael Stars Ikat Print embroidered back dress. I wear it with a white long-sleeve top, white skinny jeans, and silver sandals for easy summer style.

FAVORITE FIND: Adrianna Papell Scalloped Lace Gown
A few years ago, I had a reader ask me to post gowns for Eid-worthy celebration events. A post will be coming with gowns modest, Muslim women can wear to Eid prayer soon enough; in the meantime, feast your eyes on this beauty.
