I am one of those women who doesn’t have many black pieces in her closet. I have friends who live by wearing black exclusively but I love colour and patterns entirely too much not to have an entire closet filled with all kinds of dresses and skirts in these!
So when I saw this H&M dress in store, I was taken aback as I usually don’t go for black dresses; however, the sheer fabric as well as the polka dots had me sold!
Styling this dress was a breeze as the dress became a canvas for my shoes and accessories, which I loved! Any black dress deserves some gold jewellery as well as a stunning pair of heels. I chose red as well, it’s an overall badass colour! I added this Bottega Veneta purse and voila! I was ready for a night out on the town.
How do y’all style your all black dresses? Tag me on Instagram @Africancocktail and show me how you do it!
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!
