Traveling through Africa for two weeks put me front and center with one of my favorite fall trends, tribal prints. While the fabrics and prints were part of everyday dress for the Congolese women I saw and met, it makes perfect sense why so many designers choose to feature the beautiful patterns in there newest lines. Little do these modest women know that a world away they are inspiring us to add some fun and color into our sometimes drab closets! Especially this fall, make sure to include a tribal print dress or scarf (if bold prints make you nervous) to your must have list.
