Ankara Everything! ~ DIY Summer Crop Top & Skirt

Hey Loves!

 I am loving #Summer2016 .... but the highs in Florida are up to 105 degrees! This weather has me wearing very little clothes (hehe) but still remaining stylish of course. I had some Ankara fabric that I had been meaning to use and decided to make a crop top and a skirt with it. I love two piece sets because you can either wear them together or separately...so it's kind of like having three outfits?! Using my DIY tutorial for an off the shoulder top I re-purposed it while making the top and just cut the fabric shorter to create a crop top. For the skirt bottom I used the same tutorial, however I did not add sleeves and I cut it longer for it to be a skirt and voila! An easy DIY Ankara off the shoulder crop top and skirt set! You can easily make this set with any fabric, Ankara is my fabric of choice because it is so vibrant and colorful and of course because I am Nigerian :-) 

To make this two piece set follow my easy DIY tutorial!

Flash Back Friday!! My Favorite Looks

Happy Friday!

I hope you guys are having a great week and are ready for the weekend! I actually work this weekend :-(    .....but I had the last four days off so I can't complain. Well its Flashback Friday and Fall is here! Well...I live in Orlando, Fl so it still kind of feels like summer, but I definitely feel a breeze and I am so happy! This is my favorite time of year! So as an ode to summer I posted three of my favorite summer looks. Let me know which ones you like best and comment below! Muah!!

Look 1: Chambray & Cognac
I am addicted to shirt dresses and shift dresses. They cover up yet still look chic and put together. These heels are my favorite and I will bring them out for Fall as well.

Look 2 : Rainy Sundays

A little drizzle won't stop my shine! Midis are so trendy and are here to stay! High waisted pieces are great when you want to wear a crop top while still covering up and exuding style and confidence.

Midi dresses are so versatile and can be worn all year round. You can get them tanked, short sleeved or long sleeve and still look effortlessly chic.
