In Africa the Sun Always Shines!

I don't know if it's the bright color, or the model's smile, but I love this picture and love, love, love the outfit! It inspired me to get my act together and make a post today. This outfit is an African Buba though it's a little different from the ones I've posted before. Those had longer tops, this one's top is shorter and the embroidery work is different. Wear this on a day when you're feeling not so cheerful and it'll transform the way you feel. We all know how much of a difference the right outfit makes. This is one of those outfits that'll make you smile bigger, feel like you're on top of the world and like there's nothing you can't do.

An African Outfit

There are many countries in Africa, and as my friend Gina loves to say, Africa is a Continent! Because of that, I can't do justice to the myriad of African wedding dresses there are out there. This is just one type of outfit out of hundreds if not thousands. It's called a "Buba" and is worn predominantly in Nigeria by Yoruba women, although all Nigerian women wear it as well as women in other African Countries. Traditionally African brides wear really colorful clothes, but some do wear white. Here is a Buba in two colors. Would you wear this to a wedding? Out? To someone else's wedding?
