Time to Stop Waiting and Start Wearing: Join the Wear What The Funk You Want Movement
When was the last time you wore something just because you wanted to? Not because it was “in style.” Not because it was "age-appropriate." Not because someone said it "looked good on you." But because when you put it on, it made you smile, twirl a little in the mirror, and feel like you were walking through life wearing what the FUNK you want.
Yeah... that feeling. That’s The Feeling I Am Going For Every Single Day.
But somewhere along the way, we stopped chasing that feeling. We let other voices creep in.
"You're too old for that."
"Black women don't dress like that."
"That outfit is doing too much."
"Keep it simple. Stay classic. Fit in."
Fit in? With who? For what?
That’s exactly why I started the Wear What The Funk You Want Movement—because for too long, we've been told what we should wear, how we should dress, and what is appropriate for our age, body, or skin tone. And honestly? I'm done with it. And I know deep down, you are too.
We’ve spent years following rules we didn’t write. Now it’s time to rip up that old rulebook, set it on fire, and dance around in our own style and skin.
Honestly, Friend, style isn’t about fitting in—it’s about feeling alive.
I get it. It’s hard to unlearn the habit of dressing for everyone else’s approval. I’ve been there. I remember staring at my thrifted denim bags and funky, layered outfits and wondering if I should just "tone it down." I remember hearing the whispers about my "ugly" bags and "weird" style choices. But here’s what I discovered: when I stopped dressing for them and started dressing for me, I found a whole new level of confidence.
That’s what I want for you.
So here’s the truth: the world won’t crumble if you wear that bold dress you've been saving for a “special occasion.” Nobody’s going to issue a citation if you throw on a leather jacket over a lace dress with leopard-print sneakers. And if they do, FUNK THEM?
And gently Smile, strike a pose, and let them know: "I'm wearing what the funk I want."
This isn’t just about fashion. It’s about freedom. It’s about choosing yourself—every single day. It's about showing up for the woman you’ve become, the woman you’re still discovering, and the woman you’ve always wanted to be.
You’ve earned the right to wear what makes you feel like YOU. Every stripe. Every sequin. Every thrifted treasure. Every bold, colorful, don’t-give-a-funk choice.
So let me ask you something:
What are you waiting for?
If you’ve been holding back, second-guessing, or dressing to stay invisible—this is your wake-up call. Open that closet. Put on the outfit that makes you feel like a damn masterpiece. Step outside with your head high and your funky soul shining. We gonna cheer each other forward!
And when you do, join us.
The #WearWhatTheFunkYouWantMovement isn’t just a hashtag; it’s a revolution. A declaration. A sisterhood of bold, stylish, ageless Black women who are done letting outdated rules steal their joy.
So here’s what to do:
Wear it.
Share it.
Tag it.
