It’s officially spring here in DC! Thank the Lord!! Ok, so maybe I got too excited and busted out this Ankara skort a little too early because it started drizzling towards the end of day. I didn’t have class today but still decided to come to campus to get some studying done because 2nd wave of midterms are approaching and…for lack of better words, I need to get my life together Lol.
I’ve had this blazer from Forever 21 for about 3 years now. I love when I can keep pieces for long periods of time and I love it even more when they are budget friendly. The Ankara skort was custom made for me by my tailor back in LA. When my aunt brought the material back from home (Nigeria), I knew I wanted to make a matching set. I wore the top here last summer but have yet to wear the two together. Maybe this summer!
If you’re not familiar with Ankara, you should definitely Google it. It’s a traditional West African cloth that has made significant presence in the clothing industry. Putting us on the MAP! #ShoutoutToAllMyWestAfricanReaders #NaijaPride :)
How would you wear Ankara cloth?

Have you ever tried using anything vintage in your looks? I really like your style, on my blog I try to use clothes from 60s and 70s, and pair them with new clothes, you can see the effects on http://six-vintage-chicks.blogspot.com/. Feel free to visit and let me know what you think.

That’s some lovely stylizations you’ve got there, they’d work great with some of my jewellery, check it out at http://infinitydesignjewellery.blogspot.com/

Oh my! I literally wore a skort in my last post and it was patterned as well. I love the simplicity of your look. The blue is so refreshing!
