Jersey Maxi Dress

The long sleeved jersey maxi dress is a Maysaa spectacular, though to be honest, comfort was the thing most prevalent in my sartorial planning.  The denim shirt and belt was inspired (*cough* copied) off a girl on the tube.  The ballet pumps are Topshop’s finest, pretty, comfortable, pretty comfortable.

P.S. Sorry for the obscure Manu Chao title reference.

Some Eid outfit sketches I did for Hijab and the City, these are the unfinished versions, or rather the first versions before realizing pencil really doesn’t show up very well.  But I do prefer the texture here.  Any how, check out the full article here!

Madihah

Madihah sent me some beautiful Eid photos and I thought I would share them with you because I absolutely fell in love with them! If you have any photos of Eid outfits or just of how you celebrated then send them in to hana @ stylecovered .com (without the spaces) and I’ll put together a selection of the best bits!

Thank you Madihah!

Such a gorgeous outfit! It would be interesting to see what people wear around the world see if we can get some traditional outfits and abayas

Dream of Green

This beautiful modest maxi dress is the work of Chado Ralph Rucci. The golden green satin works beautifully as a base for this simple elegant design. This is one of those dresses which is deceptively simple, the bias cutting below the empire line is difficult to do well. I love the little details like the dipped hem and empire band, a perfect Eid outfit. Just add a bolero or cardigan, and a green headscarf maybe a few shades darker (I have the perfect one).
