You don’t have to spend a lot to look beautiful. I put together a black and white outfit- a black and white houndstooth coat I discovered at Forever 21, a black and white swirl print long dress I found at Ross Dress For Less, and a black and white African necklace made out of recycled flip flops I found at the Pan African Film Festival and wore it on the day I saw Shen Yun 2018.

When I saw how well the black and white palette worked for me I later began collecting dresses with different black and white prints to experience various effects.
