Question : Styling WPF TabItem with Image and Text

Ok.... I have a tabcontrol with some tabitems... The controls are styled using a separate resource file. And thus far everything looked great.

My TabItems have three different states. Default, Hover and Selected. The default background color is dark and the selected tab's background is light. Therefore, the default tab's foreground color is white and the selected tab's foreground color is lets say black.

In my style I set the foreground color using the IsSelected Trigger.

However.... I want to add icons to my tabs. To do this inside the header I create a stackpanel with an image and a textbox as children.

Now my foreground color of the textbox will not be set by the style nor the trigger within the style. I can see why this is happening but have no clue on how to fix it.

Relevant Style:
