I actually attended Afrofest 2012 held in downtown Toronto this past weekend and was able to score myself some good fabric at decent prices! I can't wait to have my pieces sewn and of course I shall be sharing them here once they are ready.
Along that note, this look came about thanks to this shoe I knew I had to have from Aldo because it just screams "tribal":
To be honest, they are not the most comfortable pair of heels I own but they do look so good-very eye-catching indeed! I got them at 50% off from aldoshoes.com and ended paying so much less than what everyone else did-see there,smart shopping!SOmetimes it pays off to wait a little.
The shoes made me think of a 50s inspired vintage skirt I had seen on asos.com so I paired them and voila! A cool summer look came about.
Check out my kick! :)
I completely agree with you; I love African prints and they have always seemed "in" to me. Also, love the heels. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks carmela! and yes,african print is definitely fierce!
ReplyDeleteyour shoes are gorgeous!
ReplyDeletei have to agree; African Prints prevailed in fashion before the likes of Solange, Beyonce and Gwen Stefani brought it into the spotlight. and it will continue to be around after they've abandoned it.
I actually hate that the fashion media refers to african print as tribal.....it's not a trend, it's an eseential (well to me it is!)
loved the post x

Tell them sister! LOL All these celebrities who suddenly find themselves wearing "african print" thanks to their stylist who told them "hey,this is cool" don't know much about it! and you just made me start reflecting on this whole "tribal print" thing...hmmm
