African Print

I had the privilege of visiting several countries in Africa for my 13th birthday. It was somewhat of a rites of passage, if you will, to come into my teenage years in the land of my ancestors. That said, I remember my mom and I admiring all of the beautiful printed and textured fabrics. We had a couple of outfits custom made but none as beautiful as the pieces I've discovered at DemestiksNewYork. I first learned about Demestiks from a blog post from the beautiful Folake Huntoon of Style Pantry.

When I found Demestiks I was simultaneously overjoyed and overwhelmed. I wanted everything in every print and color way, stat! After coming to my senses, I was able to pull it together and ended up with 3 pieces, one of which I'm wearing here.

I'm still looking for the perfect belt to wear with this coat dress. I tried a black one but just didn't like the way it looked with the navy in the print.

Thoughts?
