13 Gorgeous Ways To Wear Tribal Prints
All Things Ankara

African styles are so colorful, and a simple walk down the street in an African country exposes you to different styles and patterns of dressing.

"Ankara" commonly refers to African prints because of the tribal patterns and these are some clothing options for your wardrobe.

1. Wide Tops

This open top goes great with skirts and pants. I personally love it because it can complete either a traditional outfit or a cooperate one.

2. Phone Cases

I recently found out these colorful styles exist and owning one has moved to the top of my wishlist. Major win for detail lovers.

3. Midi Skirts

As shown here, an ankara midi skirt is gorgeous especially when paired with a plain blouse/top to make the skirt the main focus.

4. Printed Bags

With a plain theme outfit, ankara bags/purses stand out and always attract attention.

5. Neck Pieces

A statement necklace like this is perfect for any sort of ensemble.

6. Printed Shoes

This is daring enough for the person that really wants to go all out. I love brogues so I love this concept.

7. Two-Piece Swimsuits

In the spirit of summer, this Kente swimsuit is perfect for lounging on the beach.

8. One-Piece Swimsuits

If you're not into bikinis or just want to mix it up, then go for a tribal one-piece and you'll definitely kill it.

9. Rompers

Ankara rompers are a win because you get to be both comfortable and stylish.

10. Printed Scarves

Scarves can be used in so many different ways and tribal print scarves add flavor to, for example, a dull outfit on a gloomy day.

11. Printed Ties

Yes, Jidenna. Yes.

12. Bustier

These bustier/crop top doodads make an outfit.

13. Co-ord Sets

These two pieces together + the top and a different skirt + the skirt and a different top = literally three outfits instantly.

What do you think about the styles? Would you wear any?

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
