Sorbet style

Like many of you out there, I am a Pinterester.  I scour looks and tips and hair ideas and makeup and pretty baked goods, but by far I love it for fashion inspiration.  This look has been making the rounds from Atlantic-Pacific.


These soft, sorbet colors are what summertime craves.  Using the same colors, I matched the tops found at Nordstrom today to create a similar theme and modestly styled look, easy to wear from a weekend picnic or Friday prayer.  Click on the items below to shop the items at the retailer.

Reader Request: Long-sleeve Tees

We've been asked a few times over the last week or so a query that plagues Muslim women everywhere: where is the best place to find basic, long-sleeved tee shirts?  Especially in the spring and summer, the perfect tee layered under the perfect sleeveless summer top/dress/vest is a critical find.  Additionally, too warm or too dark a tee shirt can ruin your airy, colorful, modest look.

The key is having a bit of stretch in the fabric - contents should include "elastane" or "spandex", which provides a second-skin layer for coverage without overtaking your look.  It's generally best to steer clear of anything described as "ribbed" or "rib knit", which tends to accentuate over the curves of your body.  Check out options below for those underlying, foundational pieces no Muslim women can get enough of.
