I know my own style, it is a bit eclectic, classic, conservative… when I was a young girl, I had no problem wearing slides with my dress up dresses or carrying a clutch bag in high school, folk found me a bit weird, I remember a boy saying, that if he had a job, which I did, he would really be dressed up, I think he was trying to diss me, because I didn’t buy into or embrace the fashions that others wore, shoot I wasn’t interested in the clothes that everyone wore, they had nothing to do with me, I was a levi’s jeans, cashmere sweaters, curly afro, loafers wearing chic..and could afford even at the tender young age to go to jeansville junction or belks and buy what I wanted…
During my twenties and thirties I became a mama, and looking back, I dressed like a mama, lots of two piece outfits, pumps and the like, my only concession to style was my gold bangles and my often two inches of hair, but you know what that was so me…at the time…
Nowadays, a sister does what suits her, I still love my bracelets, but they are bound to be paired with pearls wrapped around my wrist instead of my throat and I have a plethora of scarves, tights in all colors, more sweaters than the law should allow and dresses, dresses, dresses…shoes gotta be a bit funky, yet comfortable…and I loves my red lips, oh yes I do~ I know what I like, feel comfortable dressed up or down and will not wait for the fashion mags to tell me what to put my five-foot, ten inch, sized sixteen body in~ I know my style~ and I like it~
