Juneteenth 2020

Hey besties!! Let's get into this NEW look!! Yesssss a new look, worn on June 19, 2020.

On Juneteenth this year, my friends and I decided to wear African wax print to the Juneteenth Picnic at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ. This was such a last minute idea, and of course we all were concerned about going due to COVID-19. Long story short, we went and had a ball!! I had no idea what I wanted to wear, however, I knew I wanted to mix my Ankara with an Urban twist. I wanted to wear sneakers for comfort, therefore, I figured let me go urban with it. Plus, my air forces were just screaming to be worn. Air Force 1s are making a come back, as many of you already know. My sneakers were purchased at Snipes Sneaker Store for $80.00.

Okay back to the fit....Since I was pressed for time, I decided to hop on Amazon to find an Ankara skirt or pants. I came across this beautiful printed skirt for only $22.88, and it was eligible for Amazon Prime!! Okaaaayyy!! The description for this skirt is " Women African Print Skirt Ankara Skirts Dashiki Clothing." Just type this is in the search engine on Amazon and it should pop up.  I am wearing a size medium. While I was on Amazon I decided to look for earrings. I came across these lovely bamboo earrings for only $6.99, Amazon Prime!! I scored twice y'all!!

I then thought to myself, this skirt is super busy, I need a plain top to balance this look out. I hit up my friend, Jenny last minute and asked her to customize a tee shirt for me. Before I did that, I of course hit up google for quotes. I saw "Brown Skin Girl" on a tee shirt and instantly loved it!! I felt a white top with black writing would be perfect, especially with the all white air forces!! My friend quickly slayed  this "Brown Skin Girl" tee shirt which is a size medium in ladies. Check out my friend @ms_desir on IG for all your customizing needs!! The shirt is $15.00. My purple aviator sunglasses were purchased at Forever 21 last summer (2019) for $7.80. Lastly, my handmade straw crossbody bag was purchased last June (2019) at a shopping center in Cartagena, Colombia. The bag cost $55 US dollars. The entire look was purchased in June 2020, except the bag and sunglasses of course. Check out the final look below. Tell me what you think. Thank you for all the love and support everyone๐Ÿ’š

Hey besties, I am back with a new look!! This will be a shorter and straight to the point blog post lol. Below, I am wearing an off white pair of paperbag high waist jeans from Zara, purchased 2 weeks ago for $12.99!! Yup, clearance rack for the win AGAIN! This sleeveless black basic but essential bodysuit is from Zara as well. It was purchased last week for only $19.90! I purchased this bodysuit in nude and sky blue as well (I know I know maybe I didn't need all 3) lol but I couldn't leave them. They're soooooo essential, period. If you aren't already aware Zara has marked down lots of their merchandise & I am just grateful, because I absolutely love Zara!! Lastly, my black leather backless pointed mule chunky heels are from Aldo, a birthday gift from my friend last summer. She paid $60.00 for them, on sale. She's a gem! Hope you guys enjoyed reading. Feel free to comment below. Thank you for the support. It is greatly appreciated!!!

Hey besties!! I'm finally back! I know it's been a while, but life in COVID. Need I say more? Anyway, I may wear nude for the rest of the year, idk lol. I've been so into this nude/ neutral color trend lately!! I just couldn't wait to tell ya'll about my outfit I wore this past weekend!! Let's get into this look: A couple weeks ago, I was looking for the perfect nude outfit to attend my friend's surprise birthday party. The the dress code was nude. I hopped on the internet to shop as I usually do and I knew I wanted to wear a blazer! I am obsessed with blazers! I found this amazing Oatmilk Latte color faux leather blazer from Macy's backstage by INC for only $45.93. I couldn't believe it was by INC. Im like, okay INC lol they came a long way. It came with matching bermuda faux leather pants for $24.93, however, I didn't like the way the set looked together. If you do not know about Macy's backstage, you haven't lived life yet, lol. Macy...
