My Style | Layered

An outfit is only as interesting as it's many layers. The textures and cuts all come together to create fascination. I like to wear pants under a dress or a skirt and layer short sleeve tops over long sleeve garments. My headwrap is my go to accessory. Follow my style adventures at Instagram at @marian_kwei .

My Style | Prints On Prints
I have a thing for prints. And they need to be just so. You are either attracted to a print or not. These print pants are a case in point. They are totally me. They have a 70s retro feel that draws me to them. The top has a 70s feel too with stripes in a vintage color way. The top and pants should really clash but they work in their own unassuming way. Yes to prints on prints. Follow my style adventures on instagram at @marian_kwei . Image by @Prabhy_b.
