Some people woke up scrolling with good intentions of solidarity by posting the black screen.. others have been confused as to what it was meant to do ...like me... . I appreciate those who have been POSITIVELY vocal about correcting and educating the meaning of . What I’m not here for ... are people who are criticizing other black people who had good intentions and maybe were a bit ignorant to its actual intention. There’s a way to speak ... and communicate .. No need to challenge another’s BLACKNESS in the process . We are all hurting . I can’t say this enough. 🙄

Yup ! just gonna flex on y’all this beautiful Monday!! 😜⠀

Week 2 day 3 .... when I tell you I haven’t worn heels in weeks.. maybe months... figured I would dress up my camo joggers and tee. These are literally the only heels I have at the moment and I’m over them 😂. May sub these out for the trendy 🐱 heel. 5 out of 11 pieces. Tap for deets.

Day 2 of week 2 . Ehh typical day back in the salon (or so I wish) keeping it simple with my black leggings and tee...using my scarf as a head wrap to add color . Wearing 5 out of 11 items⠀

Decided to keep it going... to keep me going 😩... 7 new items for the #7/11wardrobechallenge. This time I wanted to add more color and patterns to the mix with a mixture of items I frequently wear and rarely wear. I am aiming to get down to the pieces I genuinely love and wear by the end of the month. Feel free to join me at any point . Just tag me and use the hashtag. ⠀

My eleven items consist of :⠀
1. Black leggings⠀
2.pair of denim jeans (wide leg/ boot cut)⠀
3. Camo joggers⠀
4. Graphic tee⠀
5.solid rust tee⠀
6. My favorite Oversized camo cardi/ jacket⠀
7. A scarf I don’t wear much⠀
8. My 2nd most worn earring⠀
9. A black belt I never use⠀
10. My everyday chucks⠀
11. The only pairs of heels I own currently.. which never gets any play lol. ⠀

Day 7 .. I reversed my oversized denim shirt.. Today is the last day and I managed to make all 11 items work multiple ways with no subs or extra pieces.... this suggests that I can use these pieces to rebuild a fuctional wardrobe around. I walk away believing that minimal style and comfort are more important and conducive to my current lifestyle . I’ll use my shoes and accessories to complete my look. Knowing my style goals , wardrobe needs and wants will ultimately help me in my buying decisions.

I actually plan to do another week with a different set of items in efforts to do a slow closet purge... getting down to the items I actually wear. This process can take the anxiety out of of a full closet detox for some.

If you are having anxiety about closet detoxing.. try this challenge over a course of 3 weeks.. each week using a different set of items to until you can get down to your most used 21 items. It’s slow process but you will feel better because it’s more natural than forced.
