Burnt orange in all it's glory

 

I love wearing colours that compliment my skin tone and throughout the years I've  learned what works well and what doesn't, I can say I've mastered the art of choosing colours that make my melanin pop lol. For as long as I can remember I always wanted to make myself a burnt orange outfit, so I finally managed to make myself one and it came out exactly as I had imagined it in my head. I sketched the design first before making it because sketches work as a map for me, the design consisted of an off-shoulder top and a skirt with a high-slit. I even had Fulani inspired braids to suit the whole look.
Shooting this look was such a tedious process because I prefer shooting when the weather is nice and sunny and on the first day we tried shooting the weather was just awful, the sun kept disappearing behind the clouds, the second time around it looked like it was about to rain, so that meant no sun again. It was only after the third attempt that the photos came out perfectly.
