Can’t Stop the Feeling: What to Wear to a Concert

Two weeks ago, I headed to Lexington for the Justin Timberlake concert.  It was actually my first time seeing him and 100% lived up to the hype.  Lately, I’ve been feeling like I need to work on getting more going out type clothes, but I managed to throw together an outfit with pieces already in my closet.

Please Do Better: An Open Letter About Inclusion

Today’s post is a little different; I’m talking about inclusion, because I think it’s something many people don’t even consider.  I came out of the womb with the same racial classification of less than 3% of the United States.  I’ve spent my entire life feeling underrepresented: in the books I’d like to read, in movies, commercials, advertisements, and TV shows — the list goes on.  While inclusion and diversity are something that are talked about so much more these days; there’s honestly a long way to go.  I wanted to share a little bit about what it’s like being an underrepresented person with the hope that it helps someone out there to be more aware and inclusive.

What a weekend, y’all!  I started working on a fun, new project that I’ll be telling you all about in a few weeks, relaxed with the fam for a bit, and did some work on the back end of WNW.  {Not always fun, but always necessary.}  Today’s post is definitely more on the laidback side, but a quick look at what I’ve been wearing lately & what I’m currently crushing on!
