Did you know that poetry is nourishment for the mind?

For the edgy fashionistas, try pairing a jean jacket with a lace dress or a sheer top 

For men a simple black top with jeans looks good!

Anyone can be a poet. It's a form of artistic self expression and a few lines of thoughts can be considered poetry

A scarf with verse is definitely an alternative option.

  

 or for something more ethnic try an outfit from HANDMADE FROM TANZANIA, Dar es Salaam 

Poems are not all melancholy and many are lighthearted and fun!

Bright tops always lift up the mood and add to the ambiance

colourful accessories from DOREEN MASHIKA, Zanzibar

For the intellectuals, poetry evenings can be more formal

White and black ( monochrome ) with some colour seems hot on this list for the above celebrities at poetry evenings

Gellack nails from ATSOKO, Dar es Salaam would be a great option for those looking to add some colour to their monochrone outfits.
