Sooooo i was supposed to do this several days ago buuuuuttt i mean its here okay 😅.
It was Mashramani (on the 23rd) or Republic Day for my Country!
annnddd what we'd usually do around this time is hold cultural competitons for stuff like dramatic poetry, calypso singing/songs, danceing etc.
We also have Culture day where you'd get to dress up as the six races found here (Depending on the school you would either be assigned or you got to pick the race you wanted to represent. Mine was picked by grade).
But sadly this is only done in schools 😭 (and sometimes in businesses and other places but a bitch don't work and go to the other places (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ ) soooo i decided i'd use my bby Shana for a lil lookbook since i can no longer really do this myself!
Out of the Six races (Amerindian, European, Portuguese, African, East Indian, Chinese [this should be the order they came in]). I did four (the Amerindian and Portuguese were left out) , basing this on the ones I got to wear in secondary school.
Just so you know I'm basing these looks on what I wore or the people around me did. Some things may just be there because they look pretty though.
