Air Force 1s

~ AKCESSME ~ Leave a comment

Let’s talk about it! Air Forces 1s (AF1) made a comeback like no other shoe. It’s like it happened over night. I went to bed and woke up the next day with everyone wearing AF1s! With these currently #ONTREND, I had to snag me a pair! See how I styled my forces.


I wanted to try and dress these sneakers up a bit so my Express, front tie, button up dress was the perfect match. This dress runs large so you can definitely size down. Per the usual, I threw on my denim jacket because it’s my greatest accessory.

Hair up or hair down, this entire look is perfect for summer cookouts, kickbacks, and cocktail hour with the girls or guys. Comfortable, cute, and trendy were all executed with this style! Shop my look here! 

How would you style your AF1s? Do share outfit ideas in comments below. Have a beautiful day my loves!

Okay, this is a very heavy and emotional post today. I still can’t bring myself to talk or share an affordable style or fashion trends with you during this difficult time. I have to use my platform to bring awareness with what’s really going on in the world! I can’t be quiet! I feel compelled to use my voice, no matter the size, to address what we’re going through during this pandemic of COVID and RACISM.

WalMart Polka Dots

I hope you’ve recovered from your Memorial Day festivities! It’s back to the office for me! Those four days went by too fast! Another day, another FABU-LESS look that I’m sharing with you guys! (See what I did there?) I know that we all love those timeless and, sometimes, rather expensive pieces, but this isn’t one of those post. My entire outfit, with an exception to my purse, is from Walmart! Their Time and Tru line is KILLER!

My dress, I kid you not, was only $14.00! My shoes were less than $22.00. You can easily find both items in your local store. I, personally, haven’t come across a location that didn’t have them, but of course, online shopping is easier and safest as we are working to flatten the COVID curve. The shoes are very low in stock!

This can be worn as I am showing or an alternate look could be adding my favorite piece of clothing:  a denim jacket. You can throw on a pair of nude heels or dress it down with your latest (majority white) sneakers.

You guys have inspired me! Thanks for pushing me to create content. I owe you one!

XO,

Whew, Jesus! I’m here, guys. Today, I wanted to show you some images from a few weeks ago from the Melanin and Light workshop I was so honored to be apart of. If you’re a photographer and happen to be reading this, definitely get plugged in with M+L! Thank me later! For my fellow bloggers, share M+ L insight with your photographer. I promise you that it will not be a regret.

Now, let’s get into my look and these images!
