Feminine Funk

 

My wardrobe contains a lot of Feminine Funk and has for years. They are my favorite go-to for tee shirts. However, they started carrying other lines as well, like the sweatshirt dress I am wearing in the photo. I love how size-inclusive they are. I love their mission. This Black female owned business even just opened up a brick and mortar store recently. When I get to travel again, it is on my list of destinations to visit!!!
