This April, Broke and Black was blessed with the opportunity to showcase it's talent at the University of Florida's Pride Awareness Fashion Show. My partner in crime CJ Marrett and I explored around the city of Gainesville searching for thrift stores that would allow to use their items to style our models. Most of the clothing we found had a vintage, fun, summery look so we combined them all together. Below are pictures of our us and our models from the event. See if you can guess what era inspired each model's outfit!

No bra, overalls, and sneakers. My outfit for the show was pretty basic but just right. I wanted to be as comfortable and as ME as possible. I was stressing back stage and y'all aint eem know it. I did not like the makeup at all. I was walking around looking like a damn ghost because I don't think the makeup artists knew how to work with dark skin. But whatevs.... I'm proud of myself.
This had to be the best moment in my college experience. Some students float through 4 years of school not knowing what they're going to do when they get out. I'm surely one of those students. I was at an all time low this semester but PAM Fashion Show turned it all around for me. Thank you CJ especially for making my dreams become reality. I really really really really appreciate everything you've done for me. Thanks for being a great friend and a great partner! Love ya!
