Sunday Look: Heritage Sunday

Happy Sunday!  Once a year we carve out a day or month to celebrate our Heritage.  Today we celebrated “Heritage Sunday” in dress and food.  There is so much history to uncover regarding all the different cultures, dress, colors, symbols, etc.  There were so many beautiful outfits today from t-shirts to full on head dress.  The entire church was popping with color!

My wardrobe does not consist of African clothing.  That meant I had to purchase something. In all honesty, I really didn’t know what I wanted to wear.  Believe it or not, I felt a little bit out of my comfort zone. I’ve always LOVED the clothing (on others) but never saw myself wearing it.  I think the clothing is absolutely without a doubt BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE.   I was overwhelmed with all the choices. I figured it was best to start out with baby steps.  I did that with this colorful high-low skirt with sash.  I felt like I was getting a twofer.  The ever so popular high-low trend and a beautiful cultural print.  I couldn’t think of anything better to accompany the skirt besides my trusty blue shell top.  Remember I said baby steps.  I think it paired pretty well.

I didn’t want to go overboard with the accessories either.  The skirt is bold enough to stand on its own.  But, I’m never without earrings 🙂 and hardly go without a bracelet or two.   I combined two necklaces for the look of one.  And a single bangle on each arm.  I’ve had this pair of blue suede shoes (no pun intended). They paired very well with the blue in my skirt.

My BAG is a play on texture.  The print is completely opposite of my skirt but the color connects them both, therefore it works!

There is BEAUTI  in everything, find it…
