I worked with a Muslim woman a few years ago, and it was my first real exposure to the challenges faced in dressing stylishly and creatively within strict parameters. She had a vast array for scarves and dresses that she'd drape artfully over long pants and sleeves, and she always looked gorgeous.
Right around the same time I came across this article in The Washington Post, talking about the challenges Muslim women have in finding stylish clothing that worked for them. Much like when I decided I needed a leather bomber jacket in the 7th grade and promptly began seeing them everywhere, now I can’t help but notice stylishly attired women of all creeds, and love the personal expression evident.
