Milan Starter Kit

Hi guys! 

It’s great to be back! As you can probably tell from the title, I am currently in Milan. I chose to do a semester abroad here, and so far it’s a really nice city. I have seen no black people here, but that’s a conversation for another time.

Before I came, a girl who had also studied abroad in Milan told me that Milanese people only wear black and navy. For the most part, it’s proving true. To be honest, the fashion here is sensory overload. I keep wanting to stop in the street and just look at people.

I thought my first style post of the year would be nice to introduce this new adventure. 

  
Most people I’ve seen start from an all black palette and then incorporate some of their personality. I chose to do that through spiked brogues, and my trusty head wrap.

  
A touch of purple lipstick (Sangria by Milani) and a minimal necklace paired with another failed pout, and I’m all set for a day of exploring the city. 

Currently, I’m more nervous than anything about four months in this foreign place, but I’m also excited for the growth it will induce. 

I’ll talk to you all soon☺️

Peace, love, and funk,

Amoafoa.
