YOLO! Show A Little Leg

I've had an amazing day and feel like I'm in a really good place right now. Nothing particularly life-changing happened today although I did meet someone interesting, an architect of Chinese decent who was born and bred in Zanzibar and who identifies himself as an African. Mama Africa has so many children and its saddens me when some of them box not only their own but many like him. I worry. After our chat, I felt like I needed a wee glass of wine and a little Amy Winehouse to relax my mind so off I went to one of my haunts. Thought I'd share what I wore today.

Jacket - White Suede
Top - Uniqlo
Skirt - Donna Karan
Shoes - Prada
Sunglasses - Prada
Jewellery - Kazuri earrings + Diva ring + 
BVLGARI watch

The skirt is an oldie but a goodie I scored at a Donna Karan family and friends sale in London about seven years ago. I remember spending my entire rent at that sale and then playing Dodge The Landlord for a good two weeks until I got paid. Yes...yes I've been there! I've been to Planet Look Good Without Two Cents To Rub Together. I thank The Universe, The Ancestors and all The Gods (and Goddesses)  I learnt my lesson sooner rather than later.


I wear the skirt with simple racerbacks in the warm summer months and then team it up with fine knits in the cooler. I love its draping and how it almost feels like its dancing with each step. Oh I love being a woman!

    Love the skirt musikana, electric blue is my winter colour (that and aubergine), coupled with the sleek leather jacket gives your flirty look a nice edge.
