For my birthday look, I came up with the perfect grown and sexy combo: a crisp white blazer and the comfiest form fitting pencil skirt. Additionally, I threw in some of my favorite accessories and y’all know that I couldn’t have a birthday look without some African print!
The scariest part of styling this look was opting out of wearing a top or bra of any kind. I know it may be provocative in some ways but I feel liberated. The older I get, the less inhibited I am in my self expression – especially with what I wear. Fashion allows me to creatively express myself at all stages in my growth. And this year I am living an outspokenly feminine life.
I’m excited about this new season and even more excited to spend the day with people I love.
I’m Binja, an African based healthcare IT consultant by day and an #Africancocktail at all times! Who is an #Africancocktail? Allow me to explain: I’m half Congolese (DRC) and half Kenyan (hella African) – that along with the fact that I’ve grown up in five countries on three continents has contributed to my being an amalgamation of cultures (or in my case a cocktail). Yes, I’m one of those ‘third culture kids’ who sounds British but speaks Swahili and French with an American accent. So yes folks – I’m an #Africancocktail!
