Evolution of Style: ankara maxi skirt

Wednesday, April 8, 2015

Happy humpday loves! Today's look features another beautiful ankara print maxi skirt from N'omose Couture! I immediately fell in love with the bold cobalt and lime green color play of this skirt. High waisted skirts flatter all body types and this one is no different. The cotton fabric allows you to remain cool in warmer weather and did I mention this skirt has pockets? Need I say more? This maxi skirt is definitely a work of art.

Hi loves! I've been having such a hard time shooting looks in this weird sunny but freezing and windy weather lately! Please bear with my photos, I will figure this out soon! :)

Today's look features another incredible ankara maxi skirt that has stolen my heart. As a Nigerian American, ankara print has a special place in my heart. The vibrant color, the print, and meaning just speaks to me, so when my love Merry of Nomose Couture made this Oseme skirt (with a Versace inspired feel) for me and I tried it on, I fell in love. The Oseme high waisted maxi skirt features a thick quality cotton fabric, that is flattering to all shapes and did I mention it has pockets? That's always a WIN in my book! She also custom made me the fabulous ankara full skirt I wore in this look last year. If you are looking for a well made beautiful ankara print item, whether it be a high waisted or hi-low skirt, a dress, or accessories, please check out her store!

I styled black accessories around the skirt to let it shine as the focal point. The leopard skinny belt added a fun pop of interest to cinch the look and the red lining of my bucket bag complemented the red notes in the skirt. Finally, I added gold jewelry and a vibrant red lip and the look was complete.
