Afri(K)que Limited

Handmade art empowering females in the USA & Togo,West Africa

Hello my Fashion friends!

The holiday season is approaching and everybody is trying to find good ideas on ways to shop without breaking the bank. How would you feel if you could get some tips that can help you save money and you will also be helping other people in the process?

Doesn't this sound like a great idea? Too good to be true? Not really. 

There happens to be so many ways in 2013 where you can support handmade items and the money goes right back to support different causes like hunger, homelessness and poverty. That's the idea behind Afri(K)que. Every penny you spend towards a product that was made by hand supports women and girls in the Greater Springfield and West Africa. Does this inspire you? There's more to come! 

In our first blog we talked about how different colors inspire us and change our moods. This time I'm going to be talking about one of my favorite topics: shoes.

What color shoes do people wear most often? I would say black most of the time. Right? Do you know why? Black shoes seem to match any outfit you have in your closet. Beige, white, pink, red, brown shoes. Some of us have them all. The most interesting part in this conversation though is to come up with shoes that match with your outfit even when you're wearing colorful designs. Does this sound hard? It probably is. 

That's why I want to hear from people who are interested in buying shoes that would be made with the same cloth design they're wearing. Would this be appealing to you or would this concept be totally weird? I would appreciate your honest feedback. So please drop a line and share some fashion ideas with your friends on this blog. In reality, we all benefit from each others' ideas. Have a great holiday season!

Fashionably Yours,
