After weeks of planning my African attire to wear to the banquet of the International Black Genealogy Summit, the day finally arrived for me to wear the outfit and all of the accessories I choose.
“I want to look like royalty,” I told family and friends.
I ordered the caftan from Dupsies, an African attire vendor I discovered through YouTube. The outfit was ordered on a Wednesday and arrived two days later. The outfit came with a matching head wrap, but after my niece hooked me up with a gorgeous hairdo, I decided not to wrap my head. Read more about my hairdo.

Dru, I was going to suggest that you wear your orange suit because you look so good in that color. This is nearly the same color and is even better! Is this outfit traditional to your ancestors area of Africa or is it sort of universal?
The caftan is gorgeous, and so are you! While I love the look of the headband, I'm glad you chose to show off your niece's handiwork!
Dru, you ladies look absolutely georgeous! I love that color on you
Wish I could've attended. You and the others look beautiful...Tina

I attended your presentation at the IBGS Conference Friday. You were good. I'm not a techie, but understand now how to create a blog. Thanks.
Dru, that is a wonderful caftan and I especially like it with your new hairdo -- you made the right choice to show it off instead of using the head wrap.

Gorgeous! The color and detail in the caftan are stunning.
