Ankara Midi Pencil Skirt

Hi guys,

I love the colour combination in this outfit post here! The soft pink against the purple is so pretty! So, I paired up an old Ralph Lauren shirt with this figure hugging Midi length, ankara pencil skirt which I got made on my last trip back home. 

The outfit and look is quite a conservative one, but the colours and the print definitely add a little flavour to it! For more intense pops of colour, I added my bright fuchsia pink platform shoes and a pink collar necklace!

Color Blocking with Ankara (Summer Has Officially Arrived!!!)

Hey lovelies!

I cannot believe December is already here!!! Only 9 more days to go til I'm in Ghana, in the arms of my fiance!! I'm sooo excited!!!! Sbut anyway, this weeks look is such a fun, bold and colorful one!! It incorporates color blocking and ankara print, which you all know I love so much!

I wore my bright, neon orange skater skirt, with my ankara peplum top (tucked in), which my seamstress made for me on my last trip to Ghana. For my shoes, I wore my lime green wedges and added my cobalt blue perspex clutch. My accessories were very minimal, with just my rose gold Michael Kors watch and same colored bangle. And to add a bit of edge to the look, I wore my cateye sunglasses from ASOS, which complemented my short natural hair perfectly!

I really enjoyed wearing this outfit! What do you think?

Monochrome, Stripes with a pop of Ankara (feat. Hawa's Boutique)

Hey beautiful people,

So this outfit features the fabulous customised ankara accessories that I received from Hawa's Boutique. (If you haven't watched my review video on the items, check it out here!)

The combination of colors in the ankara print are so bold and striking, I kept the actual outfit fairly simple, going for a monochrome look, with a black tank top, and striped peplum skirt. For my shoes, I wore my trusty black ankle strap sandals from Kmart, which I have worn to death this spring! lol

Top: Kmart

Peplum Skirt: Little JC

Wrist Beads: Ghana

High Waisted Ankara Skirt #take2

Hey beautiful people, 

So this outfit here was simply me re-styling one of my favourite ankara skirts, which my seamstress made for me in Ghana on my last trip. 

The print is so fun and vibrant, so I decided to pair it with this taupe and pastel blue, collared, open back, sleeveless shirt. I've been wanting to style this shirt for about a year now, but everytime I picked it up and tried to pair it with something, I'd give up! I didn't like how it looked with pants, but it was too short to wear as a shirt dress. 

But it worked perfectly with this skirt, because once I tucked it in,  it hid all the excess fabric of the shirt underneath the skirt. I added this thick black belt with the gold hardware in the middle to break up the two pieces and also cinch in my waist, and I paired it up with these open toe taupe and snakeskin heels. For my accessories I decided on my gold collar necklace, my HTW beads and a small black purse. MACs 'Girl About Town' added the perfect pop of color on my lips!
