21st Century Disco Girl

What are the must-haves of a black girl disco inspired outfit ?
An afro, bold cat-eye glasses, sequins and platform heels!
These are the 4 things I grabbed when I decided to embody the 21st century disco girl that lives in my head and wakes up whenever I hear some of my favorite disco songs.

A few weeks ago, I received 6 pairs of prescription glasses from Vooglam, and each pair is so unique that I am able to match them with with my range of fashion styles. So with this cat-eye pair, which was the first to catch my eye, I just knew I wanted to be bold and stand out from the crowd.

With the glasses having such a bold frame, they were destined to be star of the show and take the lead on the determining what the color scheme of my outfit would be. So I played with the different shades of brown, nude and orange which are present on the glasses’ frame.

Perfectly accidentally enough, our chosen setting for lunch turned out to be a perfect match to my look’s color scheme. See how my shoes fit right in with the tables and chairs?

In addition to being a throwback disco look this also feels very summer-like and playful, due to the colors but also the high slit on the dress and the shape of my heels.

It’s important to stay true to your personal style, even if that means standing out and looking weird to others. Authenticity and confidence is contagious.
