So as I've said before, I live in my parent's homeland of Angola, of which I am a citizen by default due to their citizenship although I'm not natural-born... well that presents a few issues when wanting to do regular things like, request a national ID (which is used for everything from domestic travels to bank transactions). I've been running around all day trying to get my ID processed but they wont give me one because I don't have a birth certificate proving that I'm from here... all I have is a passport but they wont accept that. I'm so upset! Just when I was starting to feel Angolan to the core they throw it back on my face that I'm not! :( Well I don't care... I'm Angolan and I'm proud!This dress is one of my faves because of its structured silhouette... I got it at Primark when I traveled to the UK a couple of years ago, and it's been going strong ever since. I love that it looks like a high-quality, expensive item when it was actually quite cheap... gotta love that!
I loved this outfit, it was really simple yet sophisticated. Great way to feel while I run around trying to prove my Angolanness :D
Thanks for such a great suggestion, Katie!
Cute dress. Looks comfortable too.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your ID issues. You look cute though! I love the pockets on the dress!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry the ID is being such an issue. Thank you so much for wearing my suggestion. I think you look amazing, and now I'm going to have to have another look-see through your wardrobe!
