Welcome to Afrikah's Perspective

 

In the beginning there was foolishness and tom foolery....

 
In the pursuit of being fashionably frugal life happens, whether its your co-workers not pulling their end of work, kids driving you crazy,romantic relationships feeling more like strange ones, finances, music, pop culture, or moments life that make you go (o_0).

This blog is my view point on navigating through all of that and maintaining my frugal fashion sense. I will bring my take on fashion, beauty, health/wellness, personal finances, and everything else in between along with references from magazines, newsletters, YouTube vloggers,online articles, etc. People and topics that interest me and I feel that may interest you.

 So let the foolishness begin....


Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot, over can someone explain this...


I am all for creativity, and expressing one's individualism, but really a chicken wing necklace. What are the charms going to be watermelon, and grape soda. I am not knocking the hustle, but come on folks they are playing us for fools, saying that you are willing to buy anything as long as a celebrity is attached to it. Really?





Always fashion forward, Kanye West was recently seen in this retro Grunge fashion trend of men wearing skirts. He seemed to pair it with matching leather pants or tights who knows and black leather boots.  Hmmm, well he was right he gets publicity without putting out a press kit....







Just when you got a handle on this years fashion hits and misses, here comes Spring/Summer 2013 roaring in with greatest, latest, new trend. Trending now Forest Heels yeah fuzzy bedroom slippers as seen on the Spring/Summer 2013 runway . Read Blogger Amy Wise post in glamour.com for more details.Forest Heels, the latest trend to hit the Spring/Summer 2013 runway   



 

Now on to fashions that most of  us could wear...

Spring/Summer 2013 color palette
are a balancing act of colors. With neutrals in the greyed jade green tones to light and airy neutrals. These colors are paired with either pops of anchor colors such as African Violet and Poppy Red or warmer neon colors such as Nectarine(Pantones Spring 2013 Fashion Color Trends).
 
The runway exploded with color in Spring/Summer 2013


 Bibhu Mohapatra, takes inspiration from spring first green shoots coming up out the earth paired with a basic color. Classic combination.
BCBG Max Azria both models represent the trend that will take place this coming spring. Sorbet colors as seen on the model wearing an apricot colored dress as well as basic white and black. With the black being used to give geometric pattern to.









 Besty Johnson Spring/Summer 2013, a designer who I truly love uses Poppy Red as a bold and passionate statement of color for this shirt dress.

 

Badgley Mischka pairs nudes like grayed jade and linen to give light airy feel to clothing that will look good on anyone.
 
 
This is only a small representation of what some ready to wear fashion will look like in the coming weeks to months. For a complete look on all Spring/Summer 2013 fashions see Vogue's latest fashion trend.

That's all for today, folks stay tuned for my next post of 2013 beauty trends and how to get Spring/Summer looks now for less, and other random foolishness. Always remember the fashion is knowing who you are and not being afraid to express it.....
