i am loving the warm weather. i love feeling the warmth of the sun and constantly being in a freezing office, has me running outdoors for "heat breaks" so that i can warm up as well as enjoy the summer days. considering we are in the last few days of July, i am determined to enjoy as much of the summer weather that we have left. warm weather also means a change in our background scenery. The grass and plants come alive and make the perfect addition to our summer fashion.
i've dubbed this outfit Afro Punk because it is just that - a little bit Afrocentric, a little bit Punk. my Maven ReFreshed tribal dress (it once was a pair of pants with a matching top) is funked up by my studded vest! (i am getting so much use out of it! recently, i rocked it over my leather jacket for warmth and it was so fresh, i can't wait to wear it that way for fall!) i borrowed Afro Punk from the annual summer festival and movement that bears the same name. this year's festival takes place on August 25-26th in Brooklyn. i love the Afro-Punk Fest because it honors those of us who don't fit into the traditional punk scene. instead we are creating our own scene and the fest gives us a venue to hear music and see artists that are new and fresh. i am looking forward to this year's events. the only downside is it will mean that summer is just about over. booo! though i'm looking forward to it, i'm still glad that festival is a whole month away which leaves a lot of time for sunshine! xo sesheta
