Make A Statement In A Skirt

I’m not the type of girl who is into clothes that are heavily textured, printed or patterned. Instead I prefer keeping my sense of style very solid and minimal. However, once in a while you have got to buy that show-stopping item for your closet. It might be a risky buy at first, but it will surely turn heads when you walk by and that’s exactly how I feel about my ‘Alphabet’ statement skirt by South African designer Anisa Mpungwe for Mr Price.

This is one of the oldest item of clothing in my closet, almost a decade old and it is still one of the best and timeless pieces that I own in my wardrobe. I remember forcefully purchasing this skirt knowing very well that it did not fit me at all, but I told myself I’ll grow into it and alas I did. This skirt is so fun and vibrant that I’m sure it is going to be a winner piece for my wardrobe this coming Spring/Summer.
