The Maxi Dress


I have made a recent discovery that is very exciting. The "maxi dress". They were first created in the 1960s when they had the polars of fashion the mini skirts and the maxi dresses. They have recently made a reappearance in today's fashion which I find very exciting. It shows the ever closer move towards modesty in clothing for women! I wanted to put together an inexpensive outfit to demonstrate how a maxi dress could be worn Islamically. This outfit would be a great summer outfit because it is both light and rather "airy". The entire outfit was approximately $50! Once again all the pieces are great to pair with other outfits! The dress, shirt, and scarf were all found at forever21 and the gladiator sandals for found at Wetseal.

.:TUNICS:.




A really popular look these days is the tunic. They can be worn as both a dress or a shirt. Personally I think they're too short as a dress and for our purposes I feel they make perfect shirts. They are usually loose fitting, "flowy" shirts that fall anywhere from lower thigh to below the knees. They can then be paired with loose fitting pants for a very cute AND modest look!! I decided to dedicate today's blog to affordable tunics :) These were all found at www.Wetseal.com
