Instant Funk: Note To Self...

 Must play around with large scarves. Not only is this look adorable, but it protects the hair during the winter too. 

Attempt different styling techniques for bigger, curlier hair 

Must find long sleeve mini dresses for winter. Such a chic look 

Tackle my fear of updo's and go for it! 

Peruse the local thrift shops until I find a Shearling bomber similar to this one.

Pull out my asymmetrical tops & structural blazers

Experiment with scarves and turbans

Find the perfect parachute pants and a comfy grandpa sweater

Invest in some serious leopard pumps

Take a trip to Urban Outfitters to find some oxfords and chic over-sized shirts

Pick up a studded bag or two..

Nice comfy jumpers

I love, love, love this shirt and Paris!! I visited Paris several years ago and have been daydreaming of my time there ever since. Seeing this shirt brought back a flood of memories. It reminded me of the rich but underexposed Black history and culture in Paris that I briefly encountered and want to fully explore on my next visit. Until then, I would love to wear this shirt. I can see me in it now, lol!!
