Dashikis and the circle of life



I'm a huge fan of tribal wear, style, and art. So recently, on a trip to New York I found myself shopping at a small boutique shop in the Gramercy area that specialized in mostly African crafts and clothing. I spotted a Dashiki in the back of the store and pretty much told myself I couldn't leave the store without it. 

I love the thing. I think every time I wear it folks are pretty receptive. Very, very cool.

Funny thing is, is that I'm telling my sister this story and I send her a picture of me rocking the Dashiki. I open up my email today, and its a picture of my dad circa 30 years ago rocking a very similar Dashiki! Crazy how that goes down...I'm slowly turning into my father--tight! lol

Anyway, he looks badass in his--I need a little work....
