Style is personal, while fashion is dictated. But when fashion trends are followed with a sense of personal style, you get something like this.

African tribal jewellery, colour-blocked wedge heels, a riot of colours on the head scarf and an orange leather belt, everything is cleverly colour-coordinated, without the said intention. The burst of candy pink lips and nails work as a roadmap to her outfit.
