Black Friday

Street style, leather trousers

street style


Coat: River Island, Top: Topshop, Trousers: Topshop, Boots: Asos

I'm not sure how many of you are aware but today is Black Friday, today all South Africans are encouraged to wear black in order to raise awareness against rape in the country. South Africa has one of the highest rates of rape against women as a country with a study suggesting that 1 in 4 women in South Africa may fall victim to rape. 

As I'm sure you’re aware I'm not from South Africa but I don't think that should stop people from raising awareness. It's tragic that in Interpol South Africa's rape capital it is said that a woman has more chance of getting raped then educated. 

Sorry if me writing a different type of post offends you or disappoints you in some way but some issues are worth raising awareness about.

    Gorgeous outfit! I think it's really good that you're promoting awareness for something like this. I don't see why this could possibly disappoint someone, you're thriving for change and that's a brilliant thing in my opinion.
