Am I Turning Into a Fashion Girl?
I have moments when I wonder if I’m turning into a fashion girl. I do love clothes and styling them up, but I will say I never thought that with my style, I would get the feedback that I get. I consider myself very laidback, and I do not like to be super flashy or draw attention to myself with my clothing. I see other ladies on the net and what they are wearing, and I get inspiration from them, but I know what works for me and what doesn’t.
On January 5th, I celebrated my 12th year on YouTube, but honestly, YouTube has not been the best place for me. I started my channel as a natural hair channel, evolved to makeup, and then to its final version as a sneaker-styling channel. Last year, I leaned into more styling with sneakers in short-form videos, and I do like this better. I also branched out from just posting on YouTube to TicTok and even Instagram, and I like those platforms better. The responses I received on TikTok and Instagram are great, and I am gaining followers with each post, especially on TikTok. I love the love that I receive on that platform. I know there’s a ban coming soon and I wish it wasn’t happening because I have built a little community there and everyone is so nice. I post my shorts on YouTube, but I do not get the same responses as on Instagram or TikTok.
Short videos are easy, and all I do is show what I wear to run errands or on the few dates I have gone on with a little twist. Sometimes I change the bag, the shoe, or maybe the full outfit if I don’t like the execution. I build it into my getting-ready schedule, so I do not run late. Will I take this to long-form is a question that I have been asking myself lately. I do not know if I see myself making a twelve-minute video of myself getting ready to go somewhere but you never know what could happen. Fashion is something I will never stop loving. Especially now that I found my space in it. Will I become so big that I get invited to fashion week and sit front row at a major show…..Nope! That’s not why I do this. I like clothes and showing folks that you don’t have to spend a fortune getting dressed. This something that I like to do and hope to do it for a long time
