It will come no surprise to you that this shoot took place over 7 months ago. A girl can’t really collate any decent content when she’s housebound, locked in and been wearing the same tracksuit sets for the last three months. However, as we are slowly but surely seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, I thought it would be to share this look as we transition into the new season.
When it’s hot like it was on that day, I wore this Ankara top with my trusted pair of denim shorts, which I must have had for nearly a decade now. Unfortunately, this was probably the last time I will get to wear them as they’ve gotten very snug of late. Trainers were on that day as I was just about to go for a walk, but when I wear this look with a pair of jeans, I go for either smart high heeled boots or studded Chelsea boots.
The next time I’m back in Africa be it Sierra Leone or Nigeria, I’ll definitely be replicating this style using Ankara fabric again. I like that a lot of the clothes I wear are one off pieces, and that everything is tailor made. I cannot wait to raid my Summer wardrobe so I can pull out my favourite African designs and get ready for post lockdown season. Bring it on!
