Flashback Fashion Friday: May 2020

Y'all we are really out here in wild times! Truly it's like the fucking Wild West, I swear. There have been tweets joking that 2020 is giving us what 2012 said it would, or that the writer's room is giving us season finale/ final season vibes. 

A fucking PANDEMIC! FINALLY it seems like everyone is in an uproar over police brutality and them killing Black people disproportionately. Like honestly- cops shouldn't be killing anyone, yet alone unarmed Black people! So naturally the trauma of the pandemic, the trauma of the collected suffering of Black people and news outlets sharing more stories, photos, videos of the Black Lives Matter movement plus the protests and marches that sporadically broke out into riots and looting (sparingly). I like so many Black people and further people of color, are just fucking tired. 

While the country is still trying to seek justice for George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, and the news cycle has stopped sharing the peaceful protests that don't result in property damage *insert eye roll* I can only hope that the white men and women that have suddenly found this plight worthwhile will continue to educate themselves and their loved ones. Black Lives Matter is so important, because all lives cannot matter until Black lives do. Honestly after 400 years, it's time for white people to care and carry the load. 

I bet y'all weren't expecting that now were ya... but newsflash I am Black. So here we are. 

May was truly a fucking wild time, we are only 6 months into 2020, and I say we fucking cancel the whole damn thing... but we'll see.

Here's what I wore in May:

Working from Home (WFH as it is sometimes lovingly called), plus the heat and the BLM sadness just meant that sometimes ya girl didn't look very cute and taking a photo was the least of my worries. Plus I had two papers to write for my PhD classes. So I was a little busy. 

Everything is still pretty locked down here, thankfully! So I'm barely going out in public and when I do I have my handy wipes in my purse and I'm wearing a mask. 

Here are some helpful links for y'all:


Just to name a few- keep going!

See ya in June!

Flashback Fashion Friday: April 2020

Y'all... we did it! We survived an ENTIRE month of self-isolation/quarantine! The last couple of weeks of March, dragged and the entire month made it seem like a million years and completely miserable. The first of many things were cancelled for the foreseeable future. Then April started and the shut down was extended until May 1. Honestly, this month somehow seemed to passed in the blink of an eye.

Everyone managed to survive 30 days in isolation. This is COVID-19 pandemic will be with us probably for the rest of our lives... it's already leaking into watching tv and wishing they would stop touching their surroundings. Ultimately, I don't think that we know the effects of this for years to come and have no idea in which to guess... The best part of this pandemic, I hate saying that there's anything good but the silver lining: on Fridays getting to do hours long FaceTimes with my friends back in Ohio, that during a normal time would be out at bars with each other and have no need to Facetime and then on Saturdays my favorite podcast, Be There In Five, hosts Power Point Parties with her viewers and it is the best time spending an hour or so doing deep dives into our niche interests and it is just so damn good y'all! Would recommend checking out the podcast and her Patreon!

Here's what I wore in April:

Happy Easter, y'all!

One of my new lounge sets from Target. Super cute, and comfy but not realizing that it is regularly hot as balls in April in Davis, CA unlike in Ohio and the East Coast where my friends and the main influencers that I follow were getting lounge sets- this outfit quickly just became about the pants and a different top. But I will rock the hell out of this come December next year!

This began a fun time dressing up a bit and experimenting with my makeup- because why the hell not?!

This was the second lounge set I bought and let me tell you- this is the best thing I've ever bought. It is crazy soft and cozy and it has this bomb mock neck and lucky for me- it was oddly 55 that day!

January 2021 was honestly a continuation of 2020... it was such a long ass month. At the end of the month, there was a power outage that las...
