CHICNBOLD IN MY DASHIKI SHIRT AND BEADED NECKLACE

Happy Memorial Day America! Let's not forget to remember all the fallen soldiers.

Aaaah, so about a little while ago, i won something and that something is this gorgeous beaded necklace by Tatjana. Tatjana has an Etsy shop where she sells her handmade statement necklaces and it is called ChicNbold.

I kept thinking of how to style the necklace because i wanted to do things just a little differently. Then i remembered i had purchased another dashiki shirt in green while in Turks that was just sitting in my closet. I knew immediately they will be perfect together. Besides, what better way to "unofficially" kick off the start of summer

Why?

This is because I always wore beaded necklaces growing up. Most beaded necklaces were usually worn with so many African inspired pieces and this necklace just reminded of that. It weighs nicely in my hand but definitely sits well on my neck.

For that easy breezy casual look, i styled my dashiki shirt with a pair of denim shorts this time and instead of wearing a pair of flats, i thought a little bit of some height will help give the boxy shirt a bit a svelte look. So i opted for a pair of kitten heels. Always a great alternative to a pair of flats for me.
