Must Have Wardrobe Items

1. I have to wear joggers no matter what. I’m to a point where if it’s not joggers I won’t wear it. I just like how they cuff at the bottom which makes the shoe’s stand out more. And I’m a big sneakerhead so I let my shoes sit on display with joggers on.

2. Plain color tees. Not just any plain color brands though. I prefer luxe because it’s a quality shirt.

3. Bomber jackets. I just got into bomber jackets and I love the look of them. Especially with a hoodie. I haven’t done that style yet but I’m open to it.

4. This is more of an accessory. But a watch. I feel naked without a watch on my wrist.

5. Shades. Especially in the summer. I love the aviator type of shades. I don’t recall wearing a different type.

That was my must-have wardrobe items. Tell me yours down below. Follow me on Instagram @k.exum. Also, follow my blog Instagram @piecesofkblog. Follow this blog for more from yours truly.

Weekly Thoughts #23

I finally got something to talk about. I don’t really do this series no more because I don’t really know what I should write about. But I finally am getting closer to getting back on track with this gastric bypass. I remember I wrote about this on Behind The Scenes: 400+ Part 2, I talked about my struggles with sleeping with a machine.

I wish I could say I conquered it but no I’m just taking a detour. Through another route hopefully. If I don’t get to take that little road it won’t break my gym spirits. I lost another 3 pounds recently. I’m literally 3 pounds away from getting back to where I was before Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The weight loss is always good to see but I’ll be truly happy when I start dropping clothes sizes. I love taking the pics in Model Dreams #24, but I can barely find clothes that I really like in my size.

Also, I put out a new Spoken Word song called Be You. I really like this one. It’s kind of short. Like it’s 1 minute of me attacking a double standard and uplifting the females. So if interested check it out on all digital stores. The only upset I had with this was I really wanted to get it put on the discover weekly playlist on Spotify. Sadly it didn’t make it on there. But it’s okay it just motivates me to create something better.

Let’s Talk About It: N****

This word or two words is so annoying to me. It’s a word that was used to degrade and deprive the African American race during slavery and so on. It’s a term that has been over utilized in my opinion. If being called an N-Word is so bad then why use it now.

Sometimes I feel like we have selective pain towards it. If I say it to a black person I never met he won’t be offended. It’s not until another race say it is when you feel some type of way. It’s stupid to me. Like I can see if someone used it in a racist way but people literally can say “Nigga” and be called a racist.

If it’s so bad why do we call each other it? Why are we only angry when the person is not black? Why do we allow it if the person is a popular public figure? A lot of unanswered questions. In my opinion, I don’t think it should be used at all. Just like being called a monkey or wearing blackface. It’s something that shouldn’t be allowed.

But then you got people like me who have been raised around the word. Hear it in music and on television a lot. No matter the skin I feel like either never uses it or everyone should be allowed. Why embrace the word but still get offended by it? Why try and discriminate against others for using it? Why try and change the definition of it but change it back when the race is different? Why turn into our enemies and put people down because of their skin? What happened back then isn’t right now. Why still allow the word to hold power over you?

I don’t know really. That’s just my opinion on it. Love it or hate it, I’m just speaking my opinion. Like and follow for more from yours truly. Follow me on all social media platforms. Read my previous posts until tomorrow.
