gingham one-shoulder dress curated on LTK

I stalked the website until this dress reappeared in my size! I’ve said it multiple times before, but I’ll say it again, @katespadeny (and other brands) pleaseeeeeeeee make more size 16s (and beyond). Size inclusivity matters. Fit is TTS to slightly small. ❤️❤️ http://liketk.it/3hME3 #liketkit @liketoknow.it You can instantly shop all of my looks by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app

A classic, oversized white button-down shirt is one of my favorite wardrobe pieces! And, I love pairing an oversized white shirt with red loafers and red accessories! Red loafers = one of my favorite pops of color! These beautiful red loafers fit TTS! Be sure to check out my blog post at reallyrynetta.com with more red loafer outfit ideas! I purchased a size Large in this oversized shirt (I’m typically a size XL)

If you normally skim captions and look solely at the pictures, I hope that you’ll pause and actually read this caption.

Typically, I try to save my social activism for the college classroom (for lots of reasons), but primarily because I’ve had the opportunity to cultivate a safe space and to build a rapport with my students. That community and safe space means that they trust me to guide them through potentially incendiary topics such as race, social class, and gender.

I hope that I’ve cultivated a community and safe space here, too. So, today, I’m sharing something that I think about DAILY. Earlier today, I glanced at a roundup a fellow blogger posted on her blog. And, I’ll be incredibly honest here, I’m glad that all I did was glance because I’m sure that I’d be angrier if I had read the post. I was blown away that the roundup features women who look exactly like this blogger. And, I couldn’t stop thinking, there wasn’t at least ONE Black content creator that fits this category???? To be sure, I’m not asking for the tokenism that we often see in college brochures likely featuring Black folx who didn’t even attend that PWI or the social media images that make it clear that a Black person was an afterthought.

I’m talking about meaningful, sustainable change. Representation matters SO much. Ask yourself why everyone in your circle looks like you. Ask yourself why you share specific content creators when someone asks for recommendations. Think about those Black squares that were posted in 2020 OR that MLK, Jr. quote (often posted out of context) that you posted less than a month ago. Again, let’s do the work to create sustainable change. Be an ally AND an accomplice. Consistently amplify Black voices.

The perfect sweater for Valentine’s Day (and beyond)! And, this beauty is offered in a gorgeous blue color, too! Fit is TTS!

Also, these sneakers = EVERYTHING! The sneakers fit TTS! 💓💓💓💓👟👟👟

New at J. Crew!!!! 💓💓💓

This blazer!!!! I LOVEEE it! It’s a classic beauty that can be styled SO many fun ways. I wore it to church today with jeans and sneakers, but I’ve styled this beautiful blazer with faux leather shorts, too! I purchased my typical size 16! 🤎🤎🤎

This is the perfect transitional sweater! It’s a great layering piece that looks fabulous with jeans, with dress pants, or with skirts! Fit is TTS and it’s offered in a variety of colors and stripes!

I LOVEEEE this sweater SO much! It’s characterized as a “lady jacket.” This beauty is SOOO cozy and versatile. I sized down from an XL to a Large. I purchased the other colorway, too! It’s that good! 🖤🖤🖤

The perfect Ann Taylor transitional Trench Coat!!! I love the quality and the fit! This trench is heavy without being too heavy! And, this beauty looks great with jeans and sneakers, with dress pants and heels, or with a dress and boots! Do you own a trench coat? If so, what color is yours and how do you style it???

Fun fact about me: I worked at Ann Taylor in Lenox Mall when I was in college! This classic trench is one of those investment pieces that won’t go out of style and that will exceed the cost per wear! I’m wearing my typical size XL; I think that the fit is TTS to slightly large.

I’m LOVING this sweater!!! It’s definitely an oversized fit, so I sized down from an XL to a Large. This is an incredibly versatile transitional piece! And, this beauty will definitely keep you warm!!

This sweater is EVERYTHING!!! Sizing depends on how you want it to fit. It’s a “relaxed fit,” so going with your normal size will give the oversized fit! 💓💓💓

OOTD!! This velvet suit is EVERYTHING!!! The fit is fantastic and the quality is, too! Fit is TTS for the blazer, the pants, and the shoes! 💓💓💓✨
