Batakari Style Inspiration

The Government has declared the first Friday of every month an official  Batakari Friday. Batakari is the traditional attire of the people of the north. This initiative according to sources is to boost the patronage of made-in-Ghana goods, promote the attire internationally and finally to widen its reach.

The smock is made of handloomed strips of Kente fabric that are three to four inches in width.  Wearing Batakari can't  be boring after all because these style inspirations are just perfect. Do you own a batakari? Are you ready to embrace the new challenge of wearing it on the first Friday of each month? Why don't you send in some photos when you can and I will gladly repost.

AFROVOLF X KIMONO - WEEKEND STYLE

Thank God its Friday! Like i promised here's my style for the weekend. For today's look I decided to go all black with a touch of yellow.I received this yellow Kimono for free from the Afro Centric urban clothing and design brand Afro Volf. 

Kimono is a Traditional Japanese garment, the word "Kimono" actually means a"thing to wear". I love how this Kimono acts as the perfect cover up. Its very comfortable and can be styled in so many different ways I must add finally its very affordable. I got these shades at Oxford Street Osu, for a good price.

  This Side of the office is my relaxation spot. I always take a quick break whenever I'm stressed out. 

 Laid back Friday, how I wish my weekend was same. Looking forward to a very packed weekend unavoidable quick naps during my crazy weekend schedules is assured. 

Why are weekends so short? Is it true they were made in china?lol have a good weekend guys and thanks for stopping by.
