Hello lovely readers! Welcome to another installment of Repurposing Ethnic Pieces. This week, we take a striped black and white shalwar kameez by Pakistani designer Sana Safinaz and turn it into a totally chic, modern look.

I'm talking about fitted, sophisticated pieces to wear with high-waisted skirts or pants that show only a sliver of your midsection. The nice thing about wearing it this way is you don't...
