DKNY's Ramadan Capsule Collection Shopping Guide

So the Ramadan Capsule Collection from DKNY is here and you ladies are thinking, "I want it!"

Well pony up, because the items are cute, chic, MODEST, and come with a hefty price tag. But one can look, right?

I've linked a few of the items here for your look-but-don't-touch pleasure. And on behalf of the modest dressing community of the US, thank you DKNY for FINALLY recognizing Ramadan is a major cause-worthy event, the first in your industry to do so!

Click on the links under the pictures to be taken directly to the item.

Things We've Been Wanting to Share: Asos

Guys, I don't know if it was a user error or if ShopStyle/PopSugar Shopping really was working on their community features, but you've maybe noticed there was a long absence of our posts.  There are reasons all related to technology (and likely user error!) but it doesn't meant I haven't been thinking about you.  I have.  And I've been wanting to share so much!!

So for starters, here are our latest Asos picks!  Everything at Asos is 10% off this weekend with code WOW10.

Soft pleats and peg legs are in these days - almost like a  classy way to wear sweatpants!  Here are our modest in style and modest on price picks!


Looking for a few good tops?  The dresses included can double as tunics, to be worn over or under another layer.


And finally, skirts and dresses!

[Under $50] In the bag

I've always heard that it's important to differentiate between "wants" and "needs."  Knowing this difference is not just a financial necessity, it keeps buyers remorse at bay and your closet cleared of those worn-just-once items.

It's important to keep your wits about you, especially when Piperlime sends you an email with a code for an extra 25% off all sale items - savings on top of savings on top of savings with their ongoing Lime Tag sale.

That said, I NEED these pants.



And thanks to a little belated 30th birthday present and this email I got this morning, they will be mine, for only $26!  For the summer months, I love cropped pants, and these especially, with their high-waist cut.  Cropped pants fall at a sophisticated ankle-length without breaching the calf-capri length, and with a box-cut tunic top, offer a summer silhouette that keeps you cool, comfortable, and covered - a Muslim girl's summer style.

It's hard to visit the Piperlime site, especially when their signature Lime Tag sale is ongoing, and not exit without a few other things in hand...so I didn't.  My current basket includes the following:




There are a few things I desperately want, but until these things go on sale or are further reduced, they stay steadfast in the "want" category.

Sigh, it's 2013 - why haven't we invented the money tree yet?

Candy Colored

Walking to and from class in Washington, D.C. (I'm also a part-time MBA student at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith Business school), I see this same billboard on all the Metro buses and bus stops.
  Gap Skimmer Denim Evolved billboard

I'm looking forward to all the pretty pretty colors emerging around every corner and these colored skinny jeans from Gap are perfect to layer with longer tunics.  Balancing flowy tops with fitted bottoms is not only one of the easiest modest outfits to create, skinny jeans - in all colors - is an essential closet item for the modest dresser's closet.

Which color do you like best?

FAVORITE FIND: Professional Dress Pants from The Limited

As a Muslim woman who works at a top tier consultancy, what I love about The Limited pants is their relaxed fit professional dress pants which never cling, never unnecessarily outline, and have a clean, polished look.

A number of Muslim women are graduating from college this year and may heading in to interviews, or maybe you're one of those women just looking for a job change, OR you might have a job you love but need to refresh your wardrobe.  The Limited has the pants to give you the cleanest, modest look you're looking to achieve.  Here are a few on sale this weekend, in store and online using code SAVE 40, for an additional 40% off.

Work It Girls

Readers, you make me happy.

One of the top traffic sources leading you to us this week is "Muslim women workout clothes".  This means, in addition to fulfilling your new year's resolutions, that Muslim women aren't letting the industry-standard fitted workout clothing stand in their way.  One of the goals of Greater Lengths is to raise the voices of American Muslim women to the fitness apparel industry and make them aware that we want to be their consumers, they just need to give a little (literally...seams don't need to be that tight!).

Muslim women out there, like our friend Zainab Ismail, founder of Nadoona Fitness who we met at the 2012 ISNA Conference, encourage active living and exercise with modest dress.  Check her out - squatting and rowing 150 lbs! (Follow her on Instagram and find Nadoona on Facebook!)


I can also relate as a Muslim woman (and semi-fitness fanatic [I confessed to it already]) to the challenge of finding modest fitness apparel and being appropriately covered when I exercise.  I succeed here and there, as you can see. (In some honesty, I did want to post the picture of my abs!)


Looking to accomplish your own fitness and exercise goals?  There can be some obstacles in the way but certainly don't let modest clothing be one of them.  We've again culled some options for you as you make your way to the gym and live that healthy life!

These tops all have longer hemlines or are loose-fitting.  Layer them (especially in this cold!) to achieve the proper amount of coverage for you.
