With its practicality and style, the fanny pack has become a staple in many wardrobes, and we're here to give you a bit of history on this beloved accessory.

The fanny pack first gained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s, when it was commonly worn by tourists and outdoor enthusiasts. It was the perfect accessory for holding small essentials such as keys, wallets, and phones, while also providing easy access to them. However, in the early 2000s, the fanny pack fell out of favor and was considered outdated and unfashionable.

But with the rise of retro and vintage fashion, the fanny pack has made a comeback in recent years. Today, it is a popular accessory among fashion lovers and is available in a wide range of styles, materials, and colors.

National Dress Day is celebrated on March 6th every year, and it's a day that honors the significance of the dress in the fashion world. Dresses have been a staple of fashion for centuries, and they have evolved over time to reflect changes in society, culture, and fashion trends.

 

The history of the dress can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as Greece and Rome, where dresses were worn by women and men alike. In medieval Europe, dresses were a symbol of wealth and status, with the rich and powerful wearing elaborate and ornate gowns made from expensive fabrics and adorned with jewels and other embellishments.

 

As the fashion industry evolved, so did the dress. In the 1920s, the flapper dress became popular, reflecting the newfound freedom and independence of women. The 1950s saw the rise of the iconic "New Look" dress, with its cinched waist and full skirt, and the 1960s brought the mini dress, a symbol of youthful rebellion.

 

Today, dresses come in a wide variety of styles, from the elegant and sophisticated to the casual and comfortable. They are worn for all kinds of occasions, from weddings and formal events to everyday wear.

 

On National Dress Day, it's important to celebrate the history and significance of the dress in the fashion world. Whether you prefer a classic style or a trendy look, the dress will always be a timeless and essential piece of fashion.

 

So, in honor of National Dress Day, why not treat yourself to a new addition to your wardrobe? Head over to our store and browse our limited collection of unique and stylish vintage dresses. Who knows, you might just find your new favorite outfit! I personally love this timeless Marni dress, check it out!

"Don't let anyone dim your light." 

A few blog posts back I started discussing style bullies, which in my opinion is one of the top reasons why we don't see people wearing what they really want and/or love every day. Style bullies are everywhere... some of their comments can be more passive than aggressive, but nonetheless , it's still bullying. For instance, have you ever heard something like this: "Where are you going all dressed up like that?"

When you speak fashion, you do not only become fluent in a new language (which as with any language, expands your brain capacity); you realize its communication superpower. We could go even further and make an argument around compassion. But we will discuss that another day.

Why do people bully? They might feel powerless, they might feel insecure, they might be surrounded by bullies, etc... When you wear what you love, you not only show #confidence and #self-esteem, you show intention and effort to be your true self. When you are legitimate and real, you invite and encourage others to do the same. I don't know about you, but I want everyone to shine their own light and live their best life.

My dream for #Columbus is that our #community feels the power of fashion and experiences the freedom that comes from it!

Fashion should be considered as a language. Just like how different accents, dialects, and local idioms make up the English language, fashion has its own nuances of meaning that are often overlooked. When you think about it, it makes perfect sense.

Language is how we communicate with one another as well as express how we’re feeling using words instead of actions. With fashion being such a personal way to express oneself and show who you are on the inside, it makes sense that fashion should be seen as a language. Read on to find out why this is so and why it’s beneficial to see fashion in this light!

Why is Fashion Like a Language?

Fashion is a visual language that is all around us. In order for us to communicate, we use a common language whether it’s written or spoken, and fashion is no different. You might be wearing a scarf today and not even realize that you’re using fashion as a form of communication.

Like any other language, fashion has its own grammar, syntax, and vocabulary that are used. The difference is that we often don’t realize what we’re saying or how we’re being perceived by others.

That’s why it’s important to recognize the significance of fashion and see it as a language. By doing so, you’ll be able to better understand how fashion works and what it’s communicating. You can then use it to your advantage in different ways whether that be for yourself or for others. And why not?

Fashion is a fun and creative way to express yourself. It’s a great way to make a statement and show others who you are and what you’re about by what you’re wearing! It can also be used to make a bold statement or statement to inspire others. Why shouldn’t we be taking advantage of this?

How Is Fashion Like a Language?

Fashion is like a language in many ways. It’s something that has been around for centuries, it’s expressive, and it’s used as a form of communication. What’s more is that fashion has an ever-evolving and changing language that is constantly evolving, has new words and meanings, and even has variations in dialects depending on where you are and who you’re speaking to.

As mentioned above, fashion is a visual language. What we wear is what we communicate. Whether it be a ballerina tutu, a business suit, or even a pair of jeans, we are sending a message to those around us through what we’re wearing. Fashion is also expressive. Ever since the start of time, humans have been creative and have used fashion to express themselves. Fashion is also used as a form of communication. Whether you’re going for a job interview, at a party, or even just hanging out with friends, what you’re wearing communicates a lot about you!
