Afro-Indy 101

Hey Hey Hey Now!


I've been over here scratching my head on  my next post. I've already declared in no way am I  a professional or a fashionista. I love the ethnic and urban feel of these styles I present. They are both liberating and easy on the pockets. So you gotta know that this blog is just much of a learning experience for me as it is for you. Afro-Indy 101 sessions are all about tips. Afrocentric, Bohemian and Indie styles that I've run across and want to share with you. Its nothing like learning something new every day, am I right? Right!

Any who I saw this video on youtube. The vlogger's names is Keythema. She is so cute and cheery. lol In this video, she shows us how her favorite afrocentric outfit. And I must say its pretty nifty. Check it out!

As usual let me know whatcha think. :)

Hasta UNT!

BLACK GIRL'S GUIDE TO WEARING INDIE FASHIONS

 Hey hey hey now! 

So I was over at BLACKNAPS the other day and I ran across this article called The Black Girl's Guide to Wearing Indie Fashions. I know that not all my readers are Black, but I had to share it with you. Rather you are white, yellow, brown or albino you can use a few tips from this post. 

Since their article gives us so many tidbits about how to dress Indie, I had to make it an Afro-Indy session. Here are some highlighted things you cant help but pick up and put into your repertoire. :)

1. Indie isnt about trending. Its about expression, and being unique.
2. Dont get Indie mixed up with being boho! While they do have similarities as far being thrifty and earthy. Indie is all about one of a kind looks.
3. 50's-80's vintage will always pull you in the right direction.
4. Fall is coming, socks, stockings, and kneed highs should be paired with dresses and skirts.
5. Blend Blend Blend! Indie isnt matchy matchy. You should blend your layers of fabrics with metallic accents.
6. And if nothing else, spark your fit with some original foot wear. :)

 Well those are just a few things.  :) I'm totally doing an Indie look the next date night with TBG. And I'll make sure I'm going about it the right way because I can tend to be pretty matchy matchy. I will unleash the Indie in me. Make sure you pop over and give BlackNaps a peek and let me know if you learned something too.! :) (learn something new each day)

 

 

Thank you Curly Ladies of BlackNaps. :)

3 Ways to Unleash Your Inner Afrocentric

Hey Hey Hey Now!

I want to share these videos I ran across on Youtube.com :) The youtuber's name is TonyaTKO and she promotes healthy living. She has a butt load of  followers including a twitter and facebook account where you can keep up with her latest advice, or just interact with her.

These videos are bit old, but they did open my eyes. She talks about wearing your African pride through your everyday clothing. The first video is a tutorial on turning a plain oversize t-shirt to a wrap around tube top. The second is wearing a scarf as a turban and the third video is about blinging it all out with some chunky jewelry. Of course I've taken some pointers. My favorite is the t-shirt! :P As usual let me know what you think. :)

She's great right? Check out her Facebook, Youtube and twitter to see what she has been up to lately. :)
