Kaftans weren't my cup o'tea for the longest time when i was a teenager who was still trying to figure out her own style. Well, it became a very huge trend at some point and my cool friends thought it was cool enough to wear :). Soon enough, i started raiding my mom's closet because, ooh my gosh, she had gazillions of them in so many gorgeous styles. Well, she felt bad for me and needed me to stay out of her closet for a minute so she started buying me my very own kaftans. Yay! I also got a few made by tailors, and i literally lived in them. Oh yeah, they are absolutely very comfortable.
Now that i am on Turks and Caicos Island, i have been exploring some resort pieces as you already know. Some have taken me way back home and this kaftan is one. Love the vibrant color and prints. Everyone needs to have one packed up for their spring and summer vacations. While i would love to stay home dressed casually in it all the time, they are also chic enough to wear for a great day or evening out.

Yes, I do remember "bubus" (Kaftans) growing up in Africa. I love that they are so versatile and can be dressed up or down. Yours is such a beautiful print and color. The metallic sandals and cute necklace were such great addition/styling pieces.

Busola,
Yes the caftan is a very chic piece, and NO ONR makes that more clear than gorgeous you. I love this piece even more because it is part of your heritage. The colors are fantastic! I have indeed seen many pieces in the Hamptons, in the summer high season, and I bet I will see more of them this year.
So chic when worn for day, or even a casual night out with heels, as you have done, and some fabulous bling!
Fantastic!!

These vibrant colors are so beautiful and they look amazing on you! My only issue with this kaftan is that it covers up your gorgeous figure :)
