Shop The Look

If you shop on Etsy and obsessed with African print clothes, chances are that you’ve already seen some of With Flare Designs stunning pieces. This is actually the second time that Valerie’s outfit has made an appearance in the 20+ Days of African Print Styles series.

The first look I shared from this top-notch designer was this Sleeveless Patchwork African Print Peplum Top from day 2 of the series. Head over to day 2’s look to get an overview about this self-made #girlboss and how she gets us coming back for more of her African clothes for special occasions.

I am obsessed with her designs because oh well she executes complex details and patterns. For today, I’d like to focus on this dramatic African wax print maxi dress.

This full dress was made for a balmy summery feel – think weddings and special occasion. But who is to say you can’t rock this masterpiece in the winter? The way the dress flows with each movement will leave everyone mesmerized.

How can a dress be so simple yet so flamboyant? Only Valerie gets it right every.single.time.

This reversible ankara maxi dress, patchwork high low skirt and my dramatic New York Fashion Week jumpsuit are are just a few of With Flare Designs that I’ve worn on the blog. But of course, I also have my eyes on this kimono wrap top and this mixed print summer dress on my radar.
