Gaze-droppers: The Skinny on Printed Pants

Hello and happy Saturday night (or Sunday morning I should say).  What have we got for you now, you ask?  Well folks, it's the printed pant.  Tired of that pesky gaze getting stuck up north?  Well then move the action to your bottom of course!  As the title implies, adding prints to your pants will drop that gaze for sure.  It's a great way to break up the style rut too.  We've offered some solid tops to balance out the excitement - accessorize to go bolder, or keep it calm at just two pieces.

Peplums for all!

A few weeks ago, Kristen Wiig graduated after 7 years on SNL and looked positively smashing in this peach peplum dress.  While I initially thought peplums looked like something out of The Jetsons, I'm drawn to the floating waist and clean look.

The key to rocking a peplum as a Muslim woman is to balance the looser top silhouette with a fitted bottom.  Try these on for size to achieve that peplum look with Muslim modesty and style!

Peplums in all colors!  Wear with a long tunic tee for added modesty and fitted ankle pants to balance the top.

REMIX: Denim Jackets, Maxi Skirts, and Chambray Shirts

You may have seen our post on maxi skirts, perhaps even coveted a few of them, but ultimately weren't sure what to do once you had them.  "How do I style this modestly, yet stylishly...without having to buy extra clothes?"

Chances are that you own each of the items worn in this post from Atlantic Pacific.

Though I'm not a fan of the popped collar look, here it works (and hence why you should only do a trend if it looks good, not because it's trendy!)

Drawing from a few things perhaps already in your closet (a denim jacket, a button down - this version - chambray shirt, and a maxi skirt purchased here), here's an easy way to get this look.

Denim jacket and chambray top from Old Navy - $34.94 and $17.50. Blue maxi skirt from Target - $18.  Raspberry maxi skirt from Piperlime - $42.97.
