BACK TO SCHOOL OUTFITS. (WITH CHINIKA FROM SMCM)

Hey everyone, my name is Chinika. I started a YouTube channel because I wanted to step out of my comfort zone in an attempt to improve my self confidence and help others achieve this as well. 

YouTube was a chance for me to broadcast what I thought I had to offer the world. It was also a personal statement from myself to myself and the world that this was me and that I was enough. 

Moving forward with this platform, I hope to help women embrace and acknowledge how bad a**  they are... because I know sometimes we tend to forget. If you're reading this right now, I just want you to know that you’re important and that your voice matters... so use it.

You can find the video here, and the outfit ideas are listed with pictures below:

1. Tank top with a denim skirt. This is a classic. (You can also substitute the tank top with a bodysuit. No one can tell with the skirt over it.)

2. Tank top dress. Very easy to wear, and you can dress it up or down. 

3. Tube top with vibrant shorts. Everyone needs a pop of color.

4. Bodysuit with a chained belt. Really simple outfit, but the belt makes the difference. 

5. Oversized t-shirt with biker shorts. "Super cute, super casual. I'm here to learn, not to be in a fashion show."
