I’ve had my eye on a few items on the Mayamiko website, so imagine my surprise when I had the opportunity to take one of their limited-edition Time for Tee shirts for a test run.
Tee c/o: Mayamiko
Jeans: Suzy Shier
Pleather boots: Diba
Cuff: Boutique in NYC
Earrings: DIY
I was drawn to Mayamiko’s beautiful African patterns with a contemporary twist, and I was really wowed when I learned Mayamiko products are ethically made in Malawi. The brand is fair trade, and provides training, a trade, living wages, and steady employment without harsh conditions—exactly the things I strive to support!
I chose this bold red, black and blue design because I knew it would be a great top to dress up denim. It’s also going to look great with black pants, my red jeans, and my blue pencil skirt. I love that the fabric has a slight stretch to it, which makes it really comfortable. It’s sturdy but not stiff, and it keeps its shape well.
On the site, you’ll see prices in British pounds, but you can change the currency using the drop-down. Sizes are also UK, so be sure to check the chart before ordering. I’m usually a US 6 or 8 and I ordered a UK 12. While I was choosing my tee, I couldn’t resist the Mayamiko culottes that I found on the website, so you’ll be seeing this top remixed soon!
Check out Mayamiko and see which pieces you like!

Gorgeous. I absolutely love this top on you and the styling is perfect!
Thank you so much! I love how the cut lets me style the top with jeans. It’s not out of place at all. But I will wear it with a skirt or dress soon too!
Love the African print tee shirt, it looks great with your jeans. Nice ear rings too. You look amazing as always. 🙂
Thank you, Brian! I made my earrings from scraps of ribbon 🙂 They match the shirt nicely though.
That’s very creative to use leftover ribbon to make those earrings. They are VERY one of a kind and unique.
Great way to dress up jeans with this bold tee! I’m sure it will look just as fabulous with other pants and skirts (and the culotte). Love how you support ethical fashion, I’ll check out the site now.
I agree with Brian–you always look amazing! ❤
