This comment by Abbie needs its own post. You’re welcome, everyone. things i want to see more of on guys: 1. gray trousers. Me here: Um, hot. Even though they’re skinny (I abhor skinny pants on guys; YOU ARE KILLING YOUR SPERM. STOP IT), they’re not the skin-tight skinny jeans I see on hipster kids, [...]

Business Casual Superstar #37: Hoomster in Red
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged General on September 29, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I was told by many people that I don’t include outfits that I wear often enough in this series. And they’re right. I don’t like talking about myself. I’m confusing. Besides, you nerds already know what I like. You know I love cardigans and sweater-dresses and boot-cut jeans and lingerie-inspired blouses or camisoles and that [...]

Hahaha! Okay, this is cute. I read a ton of law blogs, mostly thanks to Dennis (no634) who has a bunch of awesome ones linked on his site. One of them is Law:/dev/null, which is awesome first and foremost because of the name. COME ON. I and-hearts-semi-colon it. Totally do. One of my random-aside posts, [...]
Business Casual Superstar #36: Trend Blazing
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged General on September 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
So I was hanging out with a friend over the weekend who was trying to challenge my humble fashionista skills by picking out ugly pieces of clothing and getting me to figure out some kind of outfit using that piece. This friend hates blazers. HATES. She’s convinced that she looks like her mother when she [...]
This one goes out to Shabana.

Shabana describes herself as a lurker here, and left a very nice comment for me the other day. She said that as a hijab-wearing Muslim woman, she appreciates the fact that I use this blog in part to dispel baseless stereotypes about Islam. To which I don’t really have anything to say, but I do [...]
Business Casual Superstar #35: Boys, boys, boys!
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged Outfits for Men on September 27, 2009 | 2 Comments »
My first bona-fide Huma-look for the boys. I needed the guys (Ben, Mike, Zach) to give me a little push. Okay. Now, as Ben already figured out (stalker), I like boys in argyle. I also like boys in dark jeans, tees, and blazers. That unrequired bit of fanciness (the blazer) is just amazing. I also [...]
Muslims Gather at US Capitol for Prayer
Posted in Islam/Culture, Op-eds on September 26, 2009 | 12 Comments »
Well, this is kind of awesome. Today, everything is not terrible. Except that it kind of is. On Friday, a large group of Muslims gathered at the US Capitol to pray Ju’muah salat. Ju’muah is Friday in Arabic, and it’s a particularly holy day for us. Every day at midday, we pray Zuhr prayer, which [...]
Things They Don’t Tell You During Orientation: NO PORN.

No, not even prOn. Boys and girls, but mostly boys, don’t look at porn while at law school. I don’t mean go without porn for the three years that you’re actually in law school, because I know that’s not realistic, I just mean that, while you’re physically in law school, like, in class, in the [...]

The following is a guest post written by Zach and posted by Huma. Long time reader, first time poster. These are some clothes I’ve worn to my job as a paralegal at a bankruptcy law firm. We’re small and more casual than most law offices. The attorneys generally wear suits, but lose their jackets during [...]
