Black Sweetness

Hi Guys! I am so excited to share this new look with you all! It is fierce, bold, and sophisticated.

I want to start off by saying that I am a young bi-racial woman. I am not ashamed of my Black or Italian side. I am truly proud of my background and love the diversity I come from. This post is dedicated to all of my powerful women and Black culture. We are all strong, courageous, and worthy. To my Black queens, the light within us is so bright and our presence is truly unique. I would like to enlighten you all and state that Black History, Black love,  and Black magic exists year round. Do not let society limit your knowledge or education of Black culture to only twenty- eight days. This shirt I am wearing embodies Black women whose platforms have made a mark in a society that continues to discredit Blackness. To all of my queens of all color keep rising, keep searching, keep learning, and most of all keep your smile!

Let us go over this look! I received this shirt from Represent.com , they have an amazing Black History t-shirt campaign that is running all year long. This shirt says, " WRITE LIKE MAYA. DIRECT LIKE AVA. LEAD LIKE CORETTA. SPEAK OUT LIKE TARANA. CHALLENGE LIKE ROSA. GO HIGH LIKE MICHELLE." Go check them out. They have plenty of other options and campaigns to choose from!

Now, you all know I LOVE pops of color. This skirt stole my heart, I am so in love with this faux suede orange skirt. It hugs my hips perfectly and it is right on time for spring and summer. I purchased this piece on sale at prettylittlething.com ,do yourself a favor and treat your closet! So, I thought to myself, " P, this look needs one more pop of color!", so I paired these retro blue single strapped heels (that were already in my closet)  to off set the orange but also match my multicolored clutch that has blue stitching in the pattern. I threw on some sunglasses, kept the jewelry light, and I was ready to conquer the day. I am proud of this look because it showed me that I can make anything work as long as I put my mind to it.

You are all beautiful. If you can not see that, then find your beauty, search for it every day, and work on self-love. There is only one of you in this world. Remember, keep those #ideasloading !

Love, Paris Ysatis
