Harem Heaven

Harem pants are hands down one of the most controversial items of clothing since 2009. In my opinion, it doesn't get any better than this! I am a harem pant fanatic! Wearing these pants takes a lot of courage and confidence, and with a trendy top and the right accessories anyone can rock this classy/comfortable look.

This eastern-inspired look is great for hijabis. Not only are these pants elegant, they are non-clingy and very breathable..something EVERY hijabi should keep in her closet!

Balmain did a great job pairing these pants with detailed blazers and a pair of mid length booties. Not a fan of the shoes? Try substituting the booties with a fun vibrant color of heels...A red, Indigo, or even brown pair of heels can never fail you

When you have a statement pair of Harem pants, try not to go over board with accessories. Ralph Lauren, for example, paired a sequined pair of gold harem pants with a beige button down, keeping the colors neutral. They tied the outfit together with 2 great accessories without going overboard. Don't be afraid to wear hats... fedoras, look great with just about anything! BELTS make a HUGE difference. Always try to incorporate a belt into your outfit if possible.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Asalaam-Alaikum everyone!

Words cannot express how excited I am to FINALLY start this blog, and hopefully inspire you all along the way! A quick introduction of myself....I'm Rida Aamir, born and raised in Houston, Texas. I'm currently a Pre-med Biology major, and health minor. Although saving lives is my ultimate desire, Fashion has ALWAYS been a huge part of my life. About a year and half ago I started wearing Hijab (for those of you who don't know what a hijab is, google it). Hijab is not just a piece of cloth on your head, there is so much more behind it. The true essence of Hijab has been lost and with this blog, I hope to show you all that being modest does not necessarily mean you can't be fashionable!

When I first started wearing hijab, not only was I constantly sweating in all my different layers of clothing, I was frustrated on a daily basis because my attire was so limited. The goal of my blog, InshAllah, is to give you guys some of my personal input and show you all how I would throw certain outfits together, not only to fit the "hijabi code of conduct" but to also keep up with the latest trends...and to look cute, of course! According to my fav fashion icon, Rabia Z, Modesty is always in style people!
