A lot of people ask me “Can I wear this if it’s native-made?” and I’m gonna have to be a bit of a queen and get on my high-horse for a second. I mean I’m always a bit of a queen but… You know.

Okay here’s the deal: moderation is key.

I mean I’m all for fashion over practicality but seriously there’s a limit. Here, let me give you an example of an outfit that would be appropriate, stylish, and practical:

• This scarf over just a black or white blouse or dress from your closet… A nice black or white skirt or pair of slacks (depending on your choice of colours and whether you’re wearing a dress or a skirt) and I dunno… These moccasins in black or some jet black heels. Add some sliver earrings… Right?

I mean that took me five minutes to pick out.

Like, here’s the thing, if you want to dress up like you’re a vulture that fell into the Urban Outfitters reject bin because you’re covered in so many feathers in a disheveled mess of homogenising accessories…  Don’t associate your terrible fashion sense with my race.
