This long sleeve belted tunic (sleeve is shown rolled up in pic) is only $14.99. It comes in 5 colors and at that price, you'll probably want to get more than one. To find this shirt, click on the photo and then go to "women's", then "shirts & blouses", and then "long sleeve".

This Varigated Lurex Voile Tunic Top is cute but you'd probably want to go up a size so that it won't be tight. It's on sale for $14 @ Rampage.com.

Jackets are an easy staple for any modest wardrobe. You can wear them with jeans or dress pants and shorter jackets can be worn with long skirts. Here are 3 that I found for under $30 each.

{Modest Fit Tips}
Most long skirts come at a length of 36". So, if you're 5'6 (like me) or taller, you probably have a hard time finding skirts that are long enough.
What you'll want to do is look for skirts in a Tall option. Typically the length on a Tall long skirt will be between 37" and 40".
When shopping online, always check for measurements. To find the perfect skirt length for you, just measure the length of one of your skirts that fits you well. Or measure from your waist (or hip depending on where you want the skirt to sit), down to either the top of your foot or the floor. This should ensure that your skirt will be long enough with your shoes on.
...Meanwhile, take a look at this skirt from Torrid.com. Torrid sells trendy plus-size clothing. I'm showing this skirt because it is a full skirt and at 38" long, it gives the added length that some of us need.
{Tunics and Trenches}
This is a cute tunic. It has 3/4 sleeves (blah!), but when you're a hijabi, layering comes with the territory.
I'm also loving this trench coat!
Women's Canvas Trench Coat

{Pretty Spring/Summer Skirt}
I love this skirt.
It's a long tiered peasant skirt with beaded accents and pretty embellishment on each tier.
{Article on Hijab}
I found this great post in a Myspace blog. It is an article in which a Muslimah talks about the benefits of hijab, how she modestly expresses her sense of style in public, and how she enjoys getting dolled up for her husband and family to enjoy...
'There is an Islamic saying, "God is Beautiful and He loves Beauty." As a Muslim woman, I am required to be beautiful, fresh and perfumed, but only for my husband, and especially at night in the privacy of the bedroom...I still straighten my hair...My husband, brothers and my girlfriends are the only ones who can peak under the scarf.'
In another excerpt, the hijabi talks about her love for fashion and how hijab can be a fun accessory.
'Ironically, wearing the hijab and adding layers of clothing has allowed me to express my creativity through fashion. I always buy fashion magazines to check out the latest styles. As a hijabi, I have incorporated my keen fashion sense into a kind of hijabi, Western-style dress.'
You can read the entire post here. Enjoy!
{Couture Hijab?}
This niqab look walked the runway at London Fashion Week last Monday. The outfit was designed by Fashion East designer Louise Golden. Maybe she is making a statement against the British political campaigns to ban hijab.
A Fox News article reports that designers like Prada, and Marc Jacobs are also offering headcovers. Their turbans, made of luxe silks and satins, can cost upwards of $700 - and celebs like JLo are buying them.
I don't know how to feel about this couture hijab trend, but JLo has never looked so good!
{Purple Skirt}
{Precious Modesty}
Asalamualaykum! Welcome to Precious Modesty!
I am a 24 year old Muslimah. I wear hijab and as you know, it can be hard to find modest clothes. Some shops offer "modest clothing" online, but the clothes aren't modest enough for a Muslimah. What's so modest about something long and skin-tight?
When you do find Islamic modest clothes, sometimes the clothes are expensive or not very updated. Insha'Allah, here you will find affordable modest clothes for the Modern Traditional Muslimah!
