Surfing the net, I came across these images of beautiful women with flava. THESE ARE SOME STYLES YOU MAY want to TRY in JULY. I love to give style alternatives because so many women whom I come across think that style is wearing the tightest clothing you can find. That is so wrong! Women look most regal and respectable when they wear clothing that flows. Now, I am not saying that some things cannot be form-fitting, but you have to be careful because it is a fine line between form-fitting and clothing that is for attention whores! You have to keep your mind pure and know your body. If you have hips and curves it is not OK to show everyone what you got all the time. Honestly, sometimes it gets hot, but we women have to be careful what we show. I have made mistakes and worn things that I wish I hadn’t in all innocence, but quickly found out that some men simply cannot handle that and I did not want or need the attention … yeah.

Designed by Michael Kors. I would love to have this.

Hair accessories… great!

Suit… very nice. africafashionguide.com

Lovely attire.

Nigerian garb. This is awesome! They come to America and stop dressing like this! I wish they didn’t! Lol.

I really love the simplicity of this pic. Fashion should be simple. Got this pic browsing one of my fav websites: afropunk.com

This is a nice laid back outfit. Dressing down can be cool.

Headwraps are just the greatest ! I am going to try this!

Nigerian mulit-colored braids. Love this! Duafe earrings… nice.

Got this picture from lipstickalley.com. This sister is from Mozambique. Such a lovely cut!

This is great! More women should dress like this instead of wearing inappropriate tight clothes!

Peace and love,

P.S. Looking for some chill music? Sade’s band Sweetback’s CD never gets old. It’s very smooth and actually good on days when you just want to sit back and listen to your thoughts…

Check it out from your local library or purchase it on Amazon. I give it a 5 star review.
