Indeed, fashion does repeat itself. I remember when I was about seven years old seeing young women wear crop tops, back then guys referred to them as "tumbo cuts" haha! It's amazing that once again, crop tops are a huge trend!!!
Well today, I decided to take inspiration from the past. I paired my mom jeans, which I now consider a closet staple, with one of my favorite crop tops and... Because I currently live in Nairobi, Kenya and a few people here find it hard to understand that "my dressing is my choice" I thought it wise to include in my outfit this really cool, colorful Aztec print bomber jacket, to help cover up when in public places... Also, to avoid all the stares I would definitely get due to exposing my midriff area.
Hmph! Can't a sister just wear whatever she wants?? Come on! Lol!
Bomber Jacket: Peter Popovitch || Crop-top: Supre {Similar Here} || Jeans: Original Pepe Betty {Similar Here} || Shoes: Steve Madden || Sunnies: Menrad || Sling Bag: John Lewis || Belt: Old
It's been a great month! I enjoyed all the fun moments and experiences February offered. I want to take this opportunity to appreciate you. Thank you all so much for following, liking, commenting and supporting me this far. It's so special for me to know that you are reading my blog.
As a new month begins tomorrow, I wish that each day brings many reasons of celebration for you :-)
Love and Love

It really sucks! The irony of it all is that in ancient Africa some communities didn't even wear any freaking clothes!!! Now we're all big on decency when it comes to dressing... I think we're free but our minds are still colonized hahaha! Thanks for dropping in Chidinma :-)

Thank you! Thank you Karen! You're too sweet... I shop mostly at Gikomba, it happens to be one of the biggest flea markets in East Africa, so it really caries a variety of quality items plus you at very cheap prices.
