Tie the sash to cinch your waist at your liking and throw on either some super casual sneakers or a comfortable pair of sandals. Our versatile ‘Aniyah African Print Button-Up Shirt Dress is another must have for festival season because it can be dressed up or down, or even worn open as a light jacket. It comes in 3 lovely prints – Cool Blue Adire, Mauve Plum Mudcloth, and Light Blue Pink Iris.
