Statement pieces and bold styling are staples of African fashion. I've been coveting this Christie Brown piece for over a year now (thanks Lateria and Oheneba!) so I plan on wearing it every chance I get. You may get tired of seeing it but at least you'll have some ideas on how to integrate a bold African statement piece into your everyday wear:
My motivation for this outfit was to find a balance between this wintery NYC weather and the springtime feel of this colorful ankara-covered button and feather neck piece. I started with the grey/silver crotchet sweater and decided to keep the entire look monochromatic by adding iridescent coated jeans, metallic Zara flats and a tin bangle by Indego Africa. What do you think of this look?
