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!
