What is “Menocore” as How Does it Pertain to You? For  every new season I try to visualize the look that I want to have achieve.  This year for Fall I was thinking of a more monochromatic style a fitted to the body silhouette.  It’s slimming and I cut my hair into a short pixie look and I would like to have a slender look to go along with my small frame.  My thinking was that it would be an easier look to pull off and put together in the crazy harried mornings when I am putting together a last minute outfit while trying to stay on schedule with my bus!  If it sounds difficult , you’re right it is.  So my thinking was along the lines of looking chic while not having to try to coordinate different looks together and coordinating colors.  I envisioned my look to be slim fitting pants, ribbed turtlenecks (even though turtlenecks annoy me), but it’s a put together look and keep the color scheme in the same family, so I appear taller and slender. ...

Sustainable Fashion~What is it? Why is it Important? How to Find It?

Fast fashion clothing collections are based on the most recent fashion trends presented at Fashion Week in both the spring and the autumn of every year."  This is according to Wikipedia. So I wasn't too far off the mark on that one.  What I didn't know about "Fast Fashion "   was the impact is was ha...
