Hey Funky Friends:
This movement didn’t come from a trend—
it came from real life, yep. It came from being a 50-something Black woman who got tired of shrinking just to fit into somebody else’s idea of “style.”
More On That In Another Post.
I’m Tangie Bell, and I’m the heart behind this movement. I started Wear What The FUNK You Want because I know how freeing it feels to finally show up in an outfit that feels like you, even when it breaks every fashion “rule” in the book.
What’s All The FUNK About?
- Layering lace over leather,
- Wearing DIY, Upcycled Outfits,
- Or stepping out in your favorite thrifted look with zero apologies…

This is your official welcome to the Wear What The FUNK You Want Movement—a space where misfits, style rebels, secondhand lovers, and grown women with something to say all come together to celebrate bold, ageless self-expression.
No judgment. No pressure. Just good funk and community vibes.
This movement was built for us—the women who never fit neatly into boxes, the ones who like their jewelry chunky, their boots loud, and their fashion unapologetically theirs.
Whether you’re:
This space was made for YOU.
Especially if you're a Black woman navigating your late 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond—because we deserve to be seen, heard, and have fun in the style world too.
Ageless fashion. Rule-breaking confidence.
Honestly, it’s all about having some fun.
Start tagging your outfits with #wearwhatthefunkyouwantmovement
Whether it’s a grocery store outfit or a full-blown photoshoot in your hallway—we want to see it.
This blog will be your go-to hub for—well it’s a secret you have to come back and lurk.
Every post is centered around inspiration—motivation to inspire looking at your daily style differently.
This is a bully-free style zone. That means we don’t tear down—we lift up.
Compliment the next woman. Share the funky looks you love.
And if you’ve ever been told your style is “too weird,” “too bold,” or just plain “ugly”—friend, you belong here.
I’m not here to be a style expert.
I’m here to be your funky friend. The one who reminds you that your outfit doesn’t have to make sense to anybody but you.
That getting dressed can be a little cheer, a little celebration, and a little therapy—all at once. :)
And it don’t cost a dime, nope not one red cent.
But, if you want to be a blessing, shop here for more personal, all up in the creator business stuff.
So here’s to wearing the dress, rocking the boots, layering that scarf over t-shirts over skirts, if that’s your vibe.
We don’t judge over here.
The only rule here is: Feel good and show up as YOU.
Let’s build this movement together.
See you in the comments or out in the world—serving funk.
Stay Funky,
Tangie- Founder, Content Creator & Your Personal Cheerleader!
