What We Wore: Dashiki Dresses (with Tonye Igbani)
14:38
Hi guys!
So this collaboration has been a long time coming.
The location, timing and theme changed so often so I want to say a special thank you to Tonye for her patience. That statement was a subtle way of saying the delay was (mostly) my fault. Ha ha.
The theme was African inspired and Dashiki was the chosen medium.
I didn't even know what to wear, just threw on the dress, dark lipstick, nude heels, arm cuffs and called it a day.
Tonye, on the other hand, dressed her dashiki up with jewellery, the awesome hair, beautiful purple mules and looks every bit the epitome of the modern African woman.
That wasn't flattery, honest : D
I had a lot of fun, Tonye is such a happy person.
A lot of pictures, I know but I love all of them.
How do you wear your dashiki?
Leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you!
P.S: For blogger collaborations, send an email (ijennamirabelosuji@gmail.com) or send a DM (Direct Message) to me on Instagram (@unservile_fashionist) or on twitter (@the_unservile).
Oh and guess who's now on snapchat? Yours truly! Add up people @the_unservile, let's hang!
Enjoyed this?

To be honest, the struggle was real with this theme but I accepted it as a challenge because I hardly have anything African inspired except from some beaded necklaces I bought back in 2013.
A lot of pictures, I know but I love all of them.

Hi hi!
DeleteYou are most welcome. I read your blog but hardly comment.
One thing I miss about living in the Philippines is the abundance of wonderful textiles for cheap. I am SO in love with the bold prints and vibrant colors on your dashikis. They look amazing and you ladies ROCKED it.
