Why Do French Girls Dress so Well?
My 1993 purple taffeta Paramus Mall junior prom dress with the bling bling diamonte sash certainly reads Saved by the Bell on steroids photos. While I love a tacky throwback picture, I realise I too was, well… Tacky. Don’t get me wrong, I embrace and celebrate tacky, however, I’m now able to be cognisant of my inherent tackiness. When I embrace my inner tacky, I’m wearing pieces that are ethically sourced, well made, and well wearing. Don’t get me wrong, it’s really tough to stay out of Zara, but I’be found ways to make it pretty fun. Benefit - I save a lot of money in the process.

We have all had this situation happen to us. You go to the store and try on multiple pairs of denim jeans. No matter what you try, you feel like they all make you look wide and create a soggy butt appearance. After jumping into several pairs, you leave feeling defeated and hateful towards your body.

How to Avoid Fast Fashion
Today, the fashion world is overwhelmed with fast fashion options. Fashion retailers, like H&M, Urban Outfitters, Zara, and GAP all follow the “fast fashion” model—that is, a business model in which these stores push out the latest trends as quickly as possible, sacrificing both quality for consumers and fair wages for workers.

Thrift Shopping
I was once as dubious towards thrifting as you probably are. My first thought when walking past a local St. Vinnies was “Why would I go and buy secondhand clothes when I could just buy cheap new ones?” And for years I had never even step foot into a thrift store because of misconceptions I had. The clothes in here are dirty, they are only for the elderly, I can just get things from K-Mart were common excuses that I made when thinking about thrifting. But what I found from finally putting my inhibitions behind me is that thrifting is so much more than buying clothes. It’s about helping people out, it’s about reusing clothes to stop waste, it’s about finding something new that you never would have thought you could like. Thrifting just has such a different energy in today’s throwaway society.

5 Features to Look for in Motorcycle Jackets
Motorcycle riding serves a range of purposes beyond just letting drivers steer around the city.

Hourglass Figure: How to Dress Best
Pants and jeans Since the hourglass figure is the most desired, almost any pair of pants or jeans will look good on you. However, certain designs will accentuate your waist and your behind. High-waisted skinny fit is maybe the most flattering one. When you wear them with heels, they will make your legs look longer, and they will sit perfectly on your hips and waist. Even the straight leg cut or flared pants will look flattering on your body shape. Choose stretchy denim for more comfortable daily wear, and try firm ones on special occasions. As far as the pants go, loose, airy pants may be the easiest to find, and they are super cozy. High waisted is again the best design. If you want to add an extra emphasis on your behind, choose jeans and pants with bigger pockets with details on them.
