I like this cardi because it’s feminine (the elasticized puff sleeves), affordable ($30), and it comes in three basic colors (black, white, and tan) and two jewel-tones [...]

The Hijabi:
Siti, 28
Location:
Singapore

Another festive look featuring Singpore hijab style – tunic and pants set.
I love it because…

What I’d change…
Not a thing. [...]
