Spring weather is finally here, so what better way to celebrate it than in a Crown Jewel of an outfit – this gorgeous beaded skirt and reversible top by Kora Rae. The beauty of social media is discovering brands you may’ve never before heard of, and with Kora Rae that happened. Rachel, the designer behind Kora Rae, sources her hand-embroidery from craftsmen in India, and a portion of her proceeds go towards efforts of keeping the beautiful Tiger alive and well; to the National Tiger Sanctuary in Branson, Missouri.

These wearable beauties spark conversation and are seriously versatile. The Pardon Moi top is reversible, for a little demureness in the front and a party in the back, like I’m wearing above. A worry I always have about beaded and embroidered pieces is sitting, but the brilliance behind the Crown Jewel skirt is the beading in the front but then the ease to sit and be comfortable with still stunning, but less ornate embroidery on the back.
