FASHION FRIDAY: CONGO STYLE

MOM and ASHA
Traditional Congolese clothing consists of a libaya (the top), and liputa (a wrap), note  when there are 2 wraps, it's called a maputa.

The great thing about these clothes are, not only are they versatile but they are also easy to wear and very comfortable. Whether you prefer a more traditional tyle like what Mom is rocking, or you want to  be a bit more contemporary, and style it the way Asha has it, you'll definitely find a look that suits you.
