Business Casual Superstar: A Floaty, Floral Maxi Dress

by HumaR | July 28th, 2011

By Huma Rashid I’ve really been into the maxi dress lately, and they’re a great option for these hot summer days.

Business Casual Superstar: Snazzing Up An Outfit With a Pretty Scarf

by HumaR | June 30th, 2011

By Huma Rashid One of my go-to outfits is jeans and a cute top, but the challenge sometimes is how to snazz that up and make it a little fancier, a little more polished, a little more pulled together so it doesn’t just look like I was out walking the dog or returning library books…. Read more…

Business Casual Superstar: The Tie Front Blouse

by HumaR | June 23rd, 2011

By Huma Rashid Sometimes, I adore little feminine accents in my clothing. Okay, most of the time.

Business Casual Superstar: Button Downs and V-Necks

by HumaR | June 3rd, 2011

By Huma Rashid I’m one of those girls that loves menswear-inspired looks, but I have to remember to find a way to make sure the ensemble still looks feminine.

by HumaR | May 26th, 2011

By Huma Rashid I must be on a real vintage kick lately, but I have to say, I have always loved pencil skirts. They’re so classic and feminine. And lately, what with my vintage kick, I’m really noticing pretty bow blouses. Not all bow blouses – they have to be just right. So my outfit… Read more…

Business Casual Superstar: Pearly Pinks and Heather Greys
