StylistaInMind Is To Kool-Aid As Beyonce Is To Lemonade : OOTD
Feeling Rouge:
"Hold Up They Don't Love You Like I Love You,"
Beyonce's Lemonade Inspired Look
When you're a "Thrifty Stylista" you tend to find exclusive places to shop in cyber world. The cheap yet official sites to find trendy statement pieces for a bang for your buck. This chiffon co-oordinate set I wore this weekend gave everyone Lemonade vibes that were around me. You'll never guess where I purchased this set from and for how much. I like to share little deets here and there of where I purchased items. I'm not one to be like "Bitch Stole My Look," or because I have it you can;t have it. It's not that serious and I will style it way differently from the way you do. In that case "Do You Boo !" It makes me happy to share exclusive finds with everyone. Especially if it speaks life if I walk into a room or strutting down the street.
Here's a little passion for all of you fashion lovers.
Beyonce's creative visual piece was told from the perspective of women across the globe. Womanism in an art form. We all go through the same struggles yet it's how we overcome and get through that matters the most. Lemonade being a Southern drink that is often fixed up on a hot day to cool down and relax on corresponds to the trending topics pf today. #ThisTea #SipsTea. AS Beyonce and many bold women sips #Lemonade they stand in unison, InFormation to get through the stormy weather. That is the beauty and essence of sisterhood.
Beyonce's Lemonade had a significant message that could not be held in any longer.
Moving forward, Kool-aid is often associated or known to be an African American "classic drink." Which is simply put a "Stereotype." However we are going to flip the script a bit. After reading a blogpost that discusses the black stereotypes and relations African Americans have with a drink put things into perspective. If you came from a poor background or an underprivileged lifestyle you often had drinks such as kool-aid in your home. As I did when I was growing up and I'm not ashamed of it. A drink that as a child I would have licked the whole container dry because it was always so sweet. Resulting in a red tongue after playing with the Kool-Aid powder. In Pancocojams response to this stereotype it's offensive to state that kool-aid is a black drink. The brand actually utilized many people of color especially blacks n their ads highlighting them them in a suburban, middle class lifestyle which was unheard of back in the day. Nothing of the kind was "hood," or "ghetto." Which in retrospect is an amazing thing until the brand utilized a contemporary ad portraying African Americans playing basketball and drinking kool-aid bringing every stereotype about black culture to life.
Kool-aid is nostalgic for me and makes me reminisce on my childhood. Life was tough but I didn't notice because I was a child. It was over a cup of kool-aid and cartoons that allowed my siblings and I to calm down and relax. Kool-aid and Iced-Tea two important household drinks when I was kid. Here's my #KoolAid look. Inspired by Queen Bey.
I may not have a message to deliver such as Beyonce in which I am here for. Yet I do believe this outfit was playful. Allowing me to flow through the wind as if I was a child running through the evergreen grassland.
Your throne may not always be a comfortable place to sit in. With all of the status and reputation a Queen must always keep correct balance and posture no matter how hard the seat it. Remember growth only comes from uncomfortable settings.
My Kool-Aid is evolution.

She Represented Those Being Themselves
When In Highschool kids would be fake
and phony like “Save The Bell”
BeYou she shouted
It wasn’t until years later
the dots would connect
AnUnsusualSilhouette formed around
the mental instability of a youth that

She wrote “Big Girl’s Don’t Cry”
that got her an enrollment to

It seemed like there was a hex

She didn’t stick to the rules
but the plans that would help her fam

She was 19 with a dream to never go
