Winter Fashion Rewind
Mbote Mes Amis!
I hope you are all having a wonderful week. I’ve been looking back at some of my photos from this winter. I posted a blog on December 11th, 2020 titled “All Dressed Up”. I wanted to find ways to get out of my slump/Groundhog Day so I tried getting dressed in the morning. I have to say that this simple test worked wonders.
It was great finding a way to re-use, re-style, and re-imagine what I already had in my closet. I also got a few new things. I hope you like our Winter Fashion Rewind video. All the accessories are Adolophine unless specifically noted. I’ve put together a look sheet if you are curious about where I got my items.
Cheers,
Adolophine

This design has been given several names across several countries. “Akpirikpa azu” means ‘fish scale’ in Igbo language. It is so called among the Igbo of eastern Nigeria because the design looks similar to the scale pattern on the tropical tilapia fish. “Bijenkorfje” is South-African for ‘bee hyve’, which is also inspired by the structure of the pattern.
