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!

Reader Request: Casual BBQ Attire

Reader Nadia wrote in, asking on how to style a modest look for a casual BBQ wedding reception.

"I'm going to a wedding tomorrow night followed by a reception at the same hotel.  What the heck am I supposed to wear to the "casual" BBQ?  I can't wear dresses and cardigans because the neck lines are always cut too low for my boobs.  I think jeans might be too casual."

We offered up a few suggestions of how to mix lightknit wear with modest styling for that casual BBQ result.

Hi-low tops are trending all over the stores lately.  Pair a printed or lace high-low tunic top with cropped ankle pants or wide-leg linen pants for some outdoor style, adding bright colors for the summer appeal.




Feel free to color block or go monochromatic with the same style.

Stores are carrying a lot of florals and lace, a signature summer look.  Mix a lace tunic with a crop top (the hem should be a tee shirt hem) to create the look for a lace-hemmed top.


Muslim women are also winning big with maxi skirts and maxi dresses, the maxi-er, the better.  Pairing the billowy bottom with a conservatively cut top balances the a silhouette from becoming too "drapey".

Pick a color from a printed dress and pull it out with a cropped top.  The shortened waistline allows a high-waisted skirt to breathe.




If you have a printed top, balance the large print with a solid color or dipped hem maxi skirt.
