I have gained weight in the right places and maybe some other random places 😭😭😭 I recently decided that I’m tired of sucking in my belly and the fact that my clothes do I’m glad I still fit into small sizes (the fabric stretches) The sports bra is another amazing item, it’s a medium but it’s fits perfectly
A turtleneck knitted sweater paired with black jeans, thigh high boots and a button closure long sleeve black swing coat. It’s a white button down shirt from H&M paired with blue jeans from Forever 21, It’s a white button down shirt from H&M paired with blue jeans from Forever 21, black pumps from Aldo shoes and a black and white trench coat which was thrifted. It’s a great sweatshirt paired with a grey ripped jeans which were thrifted, diamond shift sheer tights from target and yellow sneakers from Aldo shoes…
If I couldn’t get these other shoes, clothes or makeup products because they were too expensive, I could get a look alike from a brand that was affordable. I know that there are many of us who can’t spend so much on a particular item not because we don’t want to, but because it’s not just practical with regards to the average person’s budget. For every expensive look, I would recreate that look with something more affordable, keep you updated and give you options for all those other items that you couldn’t get because of the price tag. so I’m going to recreate some looks on my Instagram, write some blog posts about brands that make some items that look like or could pass for most of the items we see on the website of “big brands”
It has made me question a lot of things that I believe in and I have learnt a lot of things in the past year. I’m an open-minded person and I’m not one to judge or anything, I understand that people are different and different doesn’t always mean bad. I appreciate that I’m African and I’m privileged to know my roots, so every opportunity I get, I always do my best to remind everyone of how beautiful and creative we Africans are and encourage others to embrace their culture.
