These pants and this button-doen were thrifted some time ago but I never thought about piecing them together because I thought it would make me look homely or like a servant. While watching my favorite movie Coming to America, I decided to go ahead with the "servant" idea and wrap my hair like one of the rose bearers. It makes any oufit seem a little more regal don't you think?!

Sidebar: Coming to America movie has some of the best african-inspired fashion in addition to the many clever quotations...ever!


I'm wore this beloved peacock print scarf as a turban with my outfit to jazz it up a bit. I like this teal because it can go with greens or blues effortlessly. I wore some brass earrings and a charm necklace to bring out the gold accents in the scarf,

Don't be afraid to mix prints. I loved this peacock printed scarf so much as a headwrap that I remixed it today with my plaid button shirt and jeans. I wrapped it more like a headband today and paied it with these cool peacock earrings from Claires.
