It’s almost impossible to scroll on social media and not see the beautiful documentation of black girl luxury. Once you land on a creator within that niche or aesthetic, you’re hooked! You’ll either love it or hate it, but you can’t deny it’s a space you want to be in.
I follow so many creators with great fashion, beauty, and lifestyle content and I’m always in awe of how delicate that space is. It’s the perfect balance of being “that girl” and the “soft life”.
The black girl luxury aesthetic is everything and more.
Honestly, luxury is more about mindset than material. You don’t need to be dripping in the latest high fashion designers, nor do you need an overpriced apartment in the sky. Luxury quite simply is the way you manage your lifestyle for the comfort you desire. It’s the idea of making your lifestyle more sustainable and convenient by understanding the means you have.
Sure, some girls go into debt living beyond their means and staking credit card debt trying to keep up with the jones. Other girls navigate the work-life balance and spend with the sole purpose of stacking points on credit cards for perks. Then, you have the girl that’s nestled in between that’s quiet quitting her job with little savings but has the plan to break into tech.
However, if you decide to embark on your GOD-GIVEN rights to luxury living, be smart and hold onto it.
The luxury lifestyle is all about how you see view your world. It could be minimal or it could be maximal. You could define luxury how you see fit.
- Being able to sleep peacefully listening to brown noise
- Having time to rise and perfectly make the bed
- Getting a few days a month to dine out
- Comfortably making a large purchase
- Cleaning your living space and lighting a candle
- Having self-care days because you can
- Catching flights for weekend getaways
- Turning your fast fashion finds into high-end styling
Having a luxury lifestyle is about your personal definition of your standard of living.
Your financial status doesn’t determine if you can embrace black girl luxury. Yes, money can make life more comfortable, and you could afford more at a quicker rate. However, your finances are secondary to your mindset of curating the luxury based on what’s currently in your possession.
There’s also beauty in obtaining things money can’t buy. Most aesthetics start with having a love for a niche, an art. Love will see you through most of your decisions. Whether the turnout is good or not so good, the decisions are made with high emotions. You’ll fight for it and even sacrifice time for it.
That’s the beauty in black girl luxury.
It’s all up to you. You can take baby steps or go all in. Moreso, you could navigate luxury in many ways. Let’s debunk the word trend being attached to our luxury. It’s not a trend. It’s a lifestyle.
It’s necessary that black girls see themselves in luxury spaces and define them how we see fit.
