OOTD: I'm Diggin' That African Vibe

Hey Loves,

I am up deep conditioning my hair and I thought I would post the outfit I wore today (well technically yesterday). I have been waiting to wear this outfit and today was the perfect day to wear it. I got the nicest compliment from the costumer here. She said, "hmm.. I love the African print mixed with corporate, it fits you so well." Later in the day, she said, "Wow this African look really fits you. I would look into that more." Needless to say, I was flattered. My new love of African prints is rather ironic because as a child, I would hate when my mom fashioned her African prints and dashikis. Obviously, mom is WAY ahead of the time. Now, I love these prints and it DOES fit my style. Idk it makes me feel all powerful and bold. The top is another number I stole from mom. How faulous?!?! I am also excited that I got to wear my new lipstick today. I never thought I'd be a girl wearing lipstick, and now look at me :)

I hope you guys see this when you wake up!!

Love SheRea,
Live. Laugh. Love Thrift.

  7. Your African-printed top is LIFE!!! I loveeee it! It looks sooo perfect on you! But I gotta tell you...most women who have the whole natural look (myself included) can usually pull the African look or printed anything VERY WELL. Something about our hair...just makes it look so much better! BTW, I really like your blush...what is it?
