Now why did I do that? After I deliberated for nearly an hour, I walked out with two bundles, and had this skirt made with one of them :) This is my very first, yes, one and only, Ankara skirt!
Remember how I said that I'm kinda fond of blue (here)? The blue and yellow in this print captured me!
Even now as I look at it I wonder: Is it yellow or citron?! On camera it looks more yellow, but in person there seems to be a tinge of a green-like hue to it..
The flow and ease of this fabric is totally perfect for the warm breezy days of summer.
I added a simple yellow tank, gold bangles, and a beaded evening bag.
I was more than pleased that my curly curls decided to behave and I had superb curl definition :) For me as a natural haired gal, perfect hair days can be like finding that illusive needle in the haystack!
Have you tried Ankara? If so, how do you rock it?
Have a great weekend and thanks for visiting!

DeleteJoi, no I have not tried Ankara, but you and a few other bloggers are setting the trend for all this fabulosity!! I am in love with the print of your skirt. It nips you in at the waist so well, still flattering those curves of yours!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kishina! I was nervous about trying Ankara out, the patterns are so unusual from my classic style.
DeleteNonetheless, I'm glad that I did! The beauty of custom made pieces is a proper fit on the first try ;)
Your skirt is absolutely adorable!
