She wore an $294 Givenchy Rottweiler Print Jersey Tank Top which is from the Fall/Winter 2012 collection. Ashanti paired her tank top with purple leopard Dolce & Gabbana leggings and black patent Giuseppe Zanotti pumps.

Even in her around the way girl look, Ashanti looks good! She was spotted out and about in California. For a sunny day on the West coast, Ashanti opted for a $50 long sleeve Nike sweatshirt paired with the matching Nike Relaxed Cuffed sweatpants. The word “Nike” written in pink on top of the “Nike” logo in yellow is printed on front of the sweatshirt and sweatpants.
