By Any Means All Black

By Any Means All Black

Hey loves, so I’m kind of excited to do this post for two reasons! 1. because it’s my 1st collab and with the beautiful and
fashionable Kim of Naturally Fashionable! EEEEEEEK!!!  2nd, because I think this
something that I will do every year. Today (February 21st)
marked the 48th anniversary of the assassination of Malcolm X. So to
honor the day, I wore all black. You may remember I did the same thing last
year. If not, then check it out here.
So I know some of you are like “why in the world did she do
this” well historically Malcolm X may have been a little rough around the edges, and maybe could have chosen his words better most of the time, and yes he did play by his own rules, but this man still found a way to move a nation of people, both Islamic and non Islamic. And did it with every negativity in his face. And think that is something worth honoring
And I reached out to Kim because I love her style, I love her energy and I have been following her blog long enough to know that she lives for doing an all black outfit. She was super nice, because I came to her last minute and she didn’t hesitate! #totalwin
Soooo now that we got the sentimental and history part out
the way, on too my outfit!
Outfit Details
Top: Target
Skirt: Strawberry
Belt: Dots
Stockings: Donatellas.com
Booties: Torrid
Headwrap: Forever 21
Bag: Kmart
Coat: Catherines (Christmas gift)
I must say that I am rather proud of myself, for doing my 1st
headwrap. I’ve always wanted to do one, but I have so much hair that I thought
it would look funny. But nope I love it. Pretty much all these pieces you’ve
seen before, but this the 1st time I’m putting it all together.

I’m super excited to finally be wearing my bow suspender
tights. I got them in the mail about 3 weeks ago and haven’t been able to wear
them.  And I thought what a perfect time
to. They are super comfortable. However, my one issue is that the “control top”
part can easily be seen. Now that could just be my thighs. But other than that,
I love them.

I hope you liked the outfit, and this one goes out to
Malcolm X and the entire Shabazz family. And a huge thank you to Kim, check out her outfit below, and be sure to follow her blog and subscribe to her awesome videos on Youtube (if you’re not…but you TOTALLY should be)
Until next time loves!
xoxo
