American Girl In An African World 

My very first photo shoot in African Print. How did I do? I felt like I was ready to take on Africa can you imagine “Ranisha Takes Africa” where the men appreciate me more, now let my stop I seriously have a thing for African men. The camera man is actually half African. Oh, the dress that’s right I almost got carried away but can I dedicate this photo shoot to Pro Baller Serge Ibaka (The Son of Congo)? Man, if I can get my hands on that man. Always #avecclasse I am ready for all the African parties.

Look Effortlessly Good Every Day by Shopping Smart 

Published on by ranishaislove2 Comments

I look great because I shop smart. This is how I wear the latest trends and build my wardrobe for less and save money.

Look Good Effortlessly

  1. A classic look with a twist will always turn heads.
  2. I have been seeing the color yellow heavy on melanin beauties. I need to get some yellow in my wardrobe. It’s ok to experiment with colors.
  3. Those who are cute don’t have to try hard nor are they worried about another women’s look. Compliments are a sign of maturity. Some accessories and red lips will keep them talking.

Whether you are dressed up or dressed down don’t let anyone tell you who you’re supposed to be because you enjoy designer, fashion, and style. I noticed when you wear your confidence literally wear it that’s when people try to dig deeper into who you really are and your lifestyle. Meaning you can’t look good at a high expense when you don’t have enough income coming in to keep you at that level. I worked at a thrift store for 7 months and I’m not ashamed to shop at any. I have gotten Chanel makeup bags and I have also purchased a pair of Manolo Blahnik® shoes from a used retail shop. I don’t do it as much now because I have been blessed to make more than I did back in 05-06.

This look below was purchased at a thrift shop (2016) : shirt, necklace, jacket, and pants.

Why is it anyone’s business what you pay for your clothes or shoes if they don’t buy it? This post isn’t coming for anyone nor is it a sneak diss I’m stating my opinion and believe that those who secretly hate will discredit who you are because they can’t do it at that expense. Get your value how you get it. It could be passed down in a form of hand me downs, you might be blessed to make above average, have a man who takes care of you, a sibling of someone who made it, etc and the list goes on. Stop being mad at people for the way they shine it make you look bad and like a hater. (I remember entering to win a pair of Red Bottoms from Mashonda) Swizz Beats ex wife. We are not going to clock you when you buy those Versace’s you always wanted and saved up for.
