Is it cultural appropriation?

As a white English woman, to buy and wear something like this?

I genuinely don’t mean to be a twat or deliberately inflammatory. But I love African print clothes and i have hesitated over buying something like the above. I don’t think it would be because this particular item would be bought from an individual, rather than a corporation that is benefitting at the expense of real people. But after that American student getting roasted online for wearing a Chinese dress (was it a Kimono? Not sure) to prom, I can’t be sure. I’d be interested to hear your views.

Phew. I'm safe, then, seeing as I'm neither English nor a wearer of tartan.

Would you describe yourself as 'professionally offended' Shredded?
