{ How to Wear a Maxi Dress } Colorful Cardigan

I was recently asked how to wear the maxi dresses I've been featuring on my blog. I'll be doing a series of these, just in time for the summer. The simplest way to dress up a simple solid maxi dress is to pair it with a colorful cardigan like this one from Forever 21. Pair it with simple accessories and a solid scarf, and voila!

XCVI Wearables

So I've just discovered this brand, XCVI. It's a So Cal based brand, but surprisingly not geared towards hijabis at all, which, from the look of these loose pants and long skirts, it definitely should be. Although I try to feature clothing that's available locally, these were too good to pass up. You can find them on several sites, but artfulwear.com had the largest selection. Limited pieces are also available at Nordstroms.

Vela Scarves

I know I'm so late blogging about this, but ladies, you have to check out Vela. It's a line of scarves designed by Marwa Atik and Nora Diab, two So Cal hijabi fashionistas. You can check it out on their Facebook page, they have pictures of all their scarves as well as ordering info. I personally love their creativity and style, here are some of my favorites from the Spring 2010 line.

Sex and the City 2 Outfit: Carrie

I'm SO excited about this movie, and loving Carrie's outfit on the poster! So I put together a recession-friendly Hijabulous version. Keep your outfit simple and white, and use bling-y gold accessories to add drama (and don't forget the statement necklace). Enjoy loves!

Ladies! I know I've been gone forever and still tweaking the site here and there, but here's a post especially for those of us with curves. My goal has always been to accommodate different budgets, levels of conservatism, and sizes; so I'm gonna need your help on this one. Where do you shop for plus size fashions?
