dress - Civvies // backpack - Burlington // shoes - Wet Seal
I was on my way to a fashion show and lucky for me the dress code was all black. Apparently my socks and backpack didn't get the memo but I mean whatever. I've learned to accept my fashion mishaps, because in the grand scheme of things, all that really matters is me eating Chinese food while watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix. Back to the fashion show tho. It was great! And was put together by a student designer who wanted to incorporate her Nigerian roots into her collection, as well as Dubai and the city of Savannah where the fashion show was held. I'll include photos in a photo diary maybe, The energy was great and the food...I miss it.
Also I feel the need to discuss Beyonce's Lemonade a lil' bit. It honestly inspires me and changes my life on the daily. I've cried many healing tears watching and hearing the soul-clenching cinematography and lyrics of Lemonade as a whole, not to mention Warsan Shire's poetry which was so needed.
you are terrifying
and strange and beautiful
and strange and beautiful
like yes!!! we are!!
It makes me proud to be apart of such a sisterhood of black woman who have created so much beauty from adversity on this earth. I have so much love for Warsan and Beyonce. I'm pretty sure I'm devastated I'm not able to see Bey on tour right now but it hasn't hit me yet. gosh.
Okay
I wish you all love and a great weekend, bye!
you slay in all black <3 so fab as always girl!!

Thank you love! Freedom is so powerful it's also a fave of mine!! I feel like I'll end up naming the whole album lol but to keep it short I also love Daddy Lessons, and Don't Hurt Yourself is so good!
DeleteI love that yellow bag!!! But yes, Lemonade oh my gosh sooooo beautiful! I was never really into Beyonce, but after hearing and watching it, I completely understand the hype.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes Lemonade is beautiful!! Happy you watched it! :)
DeleteLove that bag, and yes so much power in Lemondae, touched on so so many issues-forever a relevant body of work!

Thanks so much, and yes most definitely!
DeleteI love everything about this outfit and everything about this post! When Bey read those words from Warsan that I have cried many tears to on long, hard nights, I stilled completely. I relate to that poem by Warsan so hard because I've always felt I was difficult to love, but through her words, I also learned that that fact doesn't make me less deserving. Anyway, great post and I miss youuuuu!
