I received this dress from one of my friends for my 20th birthday and I was honestly a bit hesitant about trying on the dress because I usually do not wear skater-type dress due to my shape; I always fear that the dress will rise up whenever I walk. My friend, Priscilla, said that her mom picked it out and figured that it would look great on me. When I tried the dress on, I immediately fell in love with it and kept it in my closet.

Fortunately for me, I had no events lined up that called for this dress and I kept it neatly tucked away in my closet hoping to wear it for my 21st birthday dinner. Little did I know that I would be in Ghana (after 10 years of being in the States!) and would not get to wear this dress.

Once I finally decided on having a photo shoot for my 21st birthday, I decided to include this dress and loved it so much. Thank you again, Priscilla and Auntie Ama, for picking this lovely dress. I am so in love with it.

I call this look Sleek Casual because the dress is extremely flattering and would be a great dress for a date night or a night on the town with friends.

Stay adventurous, dear friends, and always remember to stay golden. All ways, always.

Sincerely,

Samuella
