Casting Blue Culture x Inspired Soul

If there is one color guaranteed to make my heart sing, it’s blue. I love blue deeply and with a passion. Contrary to its association with “blue” moods, blue lifts my spirits, calms my nerves and soothes. Blue is a color that can be both peaceful and calming as well as cold and stand-off-ish. If you’re feeling really stressed out, the color blue can help you feel more relaxed.

Traditionals are evergreen and no matter what cut or design you choose, it automatically enhances the elegance within. Having said that, this particular outfit is one of my most favorite because of the blissful combination of the lushiest and sweetest pink out there. The utmost benefit of living in a country like Bangladesh is, you get your most desired detailed works done so neatly and precisely, because our traditional designs are what makes us stand out.

Inspired Soul by Fatima Gharawi:

2016 was so far the best year of my life and having the honor to work with a phenomenal designer/blogger and a friend who is very close to my heart, Fatima Gharawi made it even special.

Inspired Soul is a Malaysia-based company with Danish-Iraqi origins, who launched their breakthrough innovative hijab solution, the T-Jab™ ; an integration of a T-shirt and a hijab. The brand is a reflection of the cosmopolitan, ambitious and stylish urbanite Muslim women, who have long enough experienced challenges when aiming to dress in a presentable  and professional way, while adhering to her beliefs and perceptions of appropriate modest dressing.

There are times when you spend hours in front of the mirror, being super frustrated, because you simply can’t find the right outfit to cover yourself, yet look stylish and still feel comfortable?
