Skirts with Sneakers?

Here's a random outfit photo of mine...I'm always looking for ways to dress nicely while being active; although it seems tacky to pair a skirt with sneakers, somehow this outfit worked.

It also helps if you get some sneakers that are a neutral color, not bright blue or yellow!

Marabo Review

One of the reasons I first started this blog was because I knew how risky it could be to order from an online store when you have no idea who they are or the quality of the clothes you'd receive...So from time to time I'll review stuff I've ordered myself....this skirt I ordered from http://www.maraboonline.com/ , it's a linen "flamenco" skirt and I love it! As you can see I was too lazy to actually put it on so I just lay it on my bed!

My order was processed quickly, packaged professionally, and the quality of the skirt is great. It was a bit big so I washed and dried it in the dryer and it shrunk to a perfect fit. The color was slightly more brown than the pink shade it appeared on the website, but because we all have different monitor color settings it's hard to say if that was my fault or theirs!

The matching hijab I found at the mall (At Bootlegger) for about $5 ...

Soft Surroundings Outlet


I've posted about Soft Surroundings before but forgot to mention they have an outlet site with GREAT skirts at lower prices. Just look at this georgeous piece in rayon with bold floral print. Sizes are more limited at the outlet store, but you could get lucky and score a great piece for less.


P.S. Sorry my Canadian friends but they don't ship to Canada at all. Sob sob...

Indo-western Style

Don't Pakistani and Indian women look beautiful (and comfortable) in their traditional clothes? The tunics and kurtis you find at Indian stores can be quite stylish, and when paired with a more modern pant such as jeans, looks quite chic! These items are from http://www.libasdesigns.com/ . Check out this skirt! I'm liking this look and the prices too. With the 50% coupon these are really inexpensive!

World of Batik














In our drab world of fashion neutrals, a kaftan (or caftan) is a great way to get a bold dose of color and patterns! Throw on a long sleeve underneath and you're ready for guests too. Check out these designs by World of Batik, from ebay; first photo: rayon kaftan; second photo: cotton kaftan; third photo: fisherman pants; fourth photo: kimono top.
They've also got wrap skirts and boho/gypsy skirts.

Kaftans are perfect for lounging around the house like Mrs. Roper! lol.

Just don't be as crabby.

ILoveModesty.com

I came across a new modest clothing store: http://www.ilovemodesty.com/

They have some really cute tops/tunics. This is another one of those stores that I put on my personal "keep an eye on it" list, in case they get more selection.

They're located in Canada BTW but I'm sure they ship to U.S.

check it out!
