Taking on the Thrift Stores
To be our best dressed self, we need to empty our bank account and spend as much money as we can to have the wardrobe of our dreams. Right? Absolutely not! As much as we all love a good, retail-therapy based expensive shopping spree, being fashionable does not have to correlate with picking up every […]
When Did Fashion Become “Too Much?”
A common statement among young girls when figuring out what outfit to wear to an event often is, “Is this too much?” We find ourselves worrying about if we are overdressed or if a certain piece does not exactly match the vibe of everyone else. Now more than ever, anxiety stems from fashion and we […]
It’s More Than Just a New Year–What Will Fashion Look Like in 2026?
Every single new year brings more than resolutions and fresh starts, we are greeted with new fashion trends to become obsessed with. Brands release new items, designers become busy, and the media restarts the cycle of what is trending. Before we know it, there is a list of what is currently ‘in’ and what needs […]
Are Our Fashion Trends Always Constant Repeats of the Past?
Almost every week, social media tells us the newest, “hottest” piece of clothing we just need to buy right away. For most people, especially the younger generation, we want to be kept in the loop of what is trending in the fashion world, and we run to our computers to order whatever it is we […]
Why I Treat Certain Pieces of Clothing Like Lucky Charms
Some pieces of clothing are more than just fabric you wear; they feel special to you. There’s some sort of hidden meaning or history behind it that can make you feel like they’re lucky charms. I have a few items in my own wardrobe that are like that. It started with a jersey I wore […]
The Secret Sociology of Matching
I’m sure we’ve all witnessed a couple match their partners in some way at least once in our lives. Many think it’s about fashion and how it looks, but it’s more than that. It acts as this way to connect with one another and tell the world we belong together. Matching doesn’t always have to […]
The Messy Reality of Seasonal Wardrobe Swaps
Seasonal wardrobe swaps sound simple in theory. I mean, think about it: you just pack away the clothes from the season you’re not in anymore and unpack the ones you are, right? In reality, it’s just pure chaos falsely labeled under the name of “organization.” First, there’s the sheer amount of stuff you have to go through […]
The Drama of Outfit Planning for Zoom Calls
I never thought picking an outfit could feel like I’m preparing for a production of my life, but Zoom changed everything for me. Suddenly, what I choose to wear for the day isn’t just about what I want to wear, which is sweatpants and a sweatshirt. It’s about how I’ll look on camera. I need to ensure […]
Outfits I’ll Never Forget Even If They Don’t Fit Anymore
There’s a red dress in the back of my closet I haven’t worn in years. It doesn’t fit. It might never happen again, but I can’t bring myself to let it go. Every time I see it, I remember the night I wore it: the first fancy night out with my husband. That’s the thing […]
Why I’ll Never Understand Belts
Belts make zero sense to me. They claim to “hold things together” (and keep pants from falling down too much, of course), but most of the time, they’re just holding me like I’m a hostage. They dig into my body, they twist around, and to top it all off, they add that buckle-shaped indent to […]
High-Waisted Pants Are the Sweatpants of Real Clothes
High-waisted pants are honestly the best. They hold you in, they don’t roll down when you sit and they don’t make you feel bad about having a tummy. (It’s 2025, that really should be standard in clothes by now.) There was a time when putting on real pants meant giving up comfort just to look […]
