Today we’d like to introduce you to Chandra “Nicki” F.
Hi Chandra Aka “nicki”, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
As a fashion and lifestyle content creator from Atlanta, I’m all about sharing affordable style inspiration that’s both trendy and budget-friendly.
My journey started a few years ago when I was struggling to find outfits that fit my personal style and my budget. I loved sneakers, but it seem like every fashion influencer was pushing high end designer products that I couldn’t afford.
One day, I decided to take matters into my own hands and start sharing my own affordable outfits with the world. I started a small blog and posting on social media accounts, showcasing how I styled my favorite sneakers with affordable finds.
Fast forward to today, I’m humbled to say that my content has resonated with thousands of women who share my passion for sneakers and affordable fashion.
My mission is to inspire women to look and feel their best without sacrificing their financial goals. “When you look good, you feel good. When you feel good, you do good. When you do good, they pay good” – Deion Sanders
And that’s priceless!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It hasn’t always been a smooth road, but it’s been worth it! Some struggles I faced are:
1. Self-doubt and comparison to others in the industry.
2. Balancing content creation with business tasks and admin work.
3. Dealing with negative comments and criticism.
4. Managing time and priorities as a one woman show.
5. Staying inspired and avoiding burnout.
But I’ve learned to embrace the challenges and use them as opportunities for growth. I’ve also been fortunate to have a supportive community and coaches who have helped me along the way.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I specialize in creating affordable and stylish outfit ideas that showcase sneakers as the focal point. I’m known for my thrifted and fast fashion finds, mixed with investment pieces to create a trendy yet budget-friendly look.
I’m most proud of building a community that encourages self-expression and confidence through fashion, without breaking the bank. My content is relatable, accessible, and inspiring, making fashion inclusive for all.
What sets me apart is my passion for empowering women to embrace their personal style and love for sneakers, regardless of their budget or background. I believe fashion should be fun, not intimidating. My unique blend of affordability, trendiness, and sneaker love has resonated with thousands, making me a go-to source for stylish and budget-friendly inspiration!
Do you any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
My favorite childhood memory is when my mom and grandmother dressed me in this bright yellow puffy dress for Easter. I must have been around 11 or 12 years old, I was soooo embarrassed to be wearing that dress with some dress shoes to match.
I think I cried a little. I wanted to wear a regular outfit with some cool sneakers but my mom and grandmother was determined to make me look “Easter-fancy”!
