Hello,
I hope you are having a great week so far. Last weekend I was invited to a Congolese traditional wedding reception, it was my friend's' cousin's wedding. Unfortunately I didn't get to see the actual wedding ceremony because they did it the day before. It was a real bummer but I understand, they wanted it to be intimate, just with their family members.
I was really excited to see what happens at a Congolese, and I was not disappointed! From the music, the dancing, and not forgetting the "Sapologie". I mean these men were not playing games; with their sunshades, "pointini"shoes (male shoes that have a pointy head). And the way they danced I thought I was watching a Koffi Olomide or Fally Ipupa music video. No wonder my roommate loves this country so much (she is from Ghana but has claimed Congo as her country,lol).
So about my outfit; one day after work I stopped by H&M to see what they had(they sell out of their trendy pieces so fast, you won't even know if they ever got anything in the first place). As soon as I got in, my eye landed on the skirt and top. I met my friend at the fitting room, and when I tried it on I loved it! But I was thinking where would I wear this outfit to, and she told me about her cousin's traditional wedding. Et voila!
My roommate who was my amazing photographer by the way, insisted that I take a picture by the fire hydrant. She claims "it will give the picture a balance of color." I mean who says things like that? Only Africans will do such things, lol.
