The ambiance, the dressing up and the connections made are all reasons why I love cocktail parties! What does a good cocktail party look consists of? In my opinion, a statement piece – in this case this green pleated skirt – as well as comfortable shoes – those with a chunky heel, are essentials to a great cocktail party look. I love a chunky heel when attending cocktail parties as there isn’t always a guarantee of seating options at the venue.
I also believe that cocktail parties are places where at breaking the ice is sometimes a bit challenging so it always helps when you can use an article of clothing or jewelry as a conversation starter.
I wanted this cocktail look to be monochrome. I love a good monochrome look especially for the fall. I have styled monotone looks here or here. Styling this was by far the most fun I’ve had with a monochrome look! What do y’all think?

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!
