Packing for a summer trip might take some time, but picking your traveling outfit should be quick and simple. It's all about reaching for comfy separates that have color, character, and are durable enough to withstand a long flight.  I found this tank (Target) just walking through the aisles, not expecting to buy anything.  My first thoughts were it's loose, the print is great, and the colors are perfect to disguise any sticky toddler fingerprints!  The outfit's complete with a cobalt hijab, silver earings (Lucky Brand), a charcoal cardigan (Ross), silver sandals (J.Crew), and my favorite jeans.




Style Tip of the Day:  This tank top has a scoop neck line, so I chose to wrap the hijab loosely across my neck for the proper coverage.  However, if you want to wear your scarf off your neck to the side, you definitely can with a few alterations.  For a non-permanent fix, you can pull the tank top straps evenly from the front and back to raise the neckline and secure the fabric with small straight pins.  Just be careful not to pull the straps too high or the opening of the arms become super tight!
