YES MA’AM

09/07/18

Much like the previous day, I played it cool. I’ve started to follow my mother’s footsteps and have embraced the navy (so far, so good). Whenever I’m homesick or I miss my family, I start to put little things that remind me of them in my daily life, like listening to music or watching movies they enjoy and intertwining their loves into my looks (In this case, it’s navy).

Since my mother inspired my newly found love for navy, I decided to add accents from another important woman in my life, my Nanna. I paired this thrifted dress with her favorite Stan Smith Adidas and a bracelet with her name on it. Wearing pieces that the people I love used to own or remind me of them is my go-to remedy for being homesick or nostalgic; fashion is truly a form of self-care and therapy for me.

With love,

Janaya
