Studying abroad is often life-changing and an experience that we can’t advocate enough here at ’N A Perfect World…. So it was no surprise that we gravitated towards the Bené brand: the line is inspired by co-founder, Michelle Blue’s experience during her time in abroad in Ghana.

Bené, is a collection of scarves, light-weight, flowing caftans and kimonos, inspired by the culture. Each pattern is named after a girl Michelle met in Ghana. Michelle and her partner Sasha Matthews are committed to providing education to girls in Ghana by sponsoring tuition, books, supplies and uniforms. If Michelle and Sasha’s amazing cause doesn’t captivate you, the pieces in their collection will. These fun, bold patterns are great additions to your summer wardrobe.  I’ll take any cute way to dress for the juggling act between sweltering heat, and blasting AC. Voilá, the summer scarf!
