"Are we carrying ourselves like the "Queens" we claim to be?"

In all honesty, for far too many sistas--"no." There are variables involved though. Family dynamics, lacking positive to dynamic sista-role-models and the norm is "young" parents now and not yet an acquired sense of style. Everything that looks good does not necessarily look good on YOU.
Just an opinion...

SonFllour 2001, I'm going to borrow your comments if I may:

Fashion (clothing and hair) and self-esteem (1 year course)

Class summary: While clothing does not make the man, it can be a direct expression of who you are, and is often tied to self-esteem issues. Within this class, we will study some historical facet of fashion from several different countries and what fashion has come to mean in modernity.

Objectives:

1.) Learn ways to dress so as to emphasize your best features without looking trashy.
2.) Incorporate good spending habits into shopping. Learn what to buy and how much to spend on it. Also, how to turn old clothes into new trends.
3.) Tackle issues of self-esteem which often go hand in hand with how people dress. Why do people wear some of the clothes they wear? When is it classy and when is it just plain tacky? Sexy clothing vs. skank threads.
4.) Study the history of black hair and explore various options for natural hair care.
5.) ALL size fashion-When it looks good on her, but not on you...

Thank you.
