Ch Ch Changes....

Ch Ch Changes....
Changes - David Bowie 
 
Oh, yeah
Mmm
Still don't know what I was waitin' for
And my time was runnin' wild
A million dead end streets and
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
How the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
There's gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
Mmm, yeah
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change…

Sustainability And Fashion

"If I had to make one prediction for 2020 and the years to follow, it would be that we’ll see more closed-loop companies like Thousand Fell and the Big Favorite (and more designers linking up with Evrnu). A more sustainable fashion industry depends on using what exists, eliminating the problem of clothing in landfills, and reframing the way we value our garments. It seems entirely feasible to me that one day, all of my “high frequency” items—for me, that’s T-shirts, cashmere sweaters, camisoles, flat sandals, leather boots, and jeans—will exist on a closed loop. When they’re worn out, I’ll send them to be recycled or upcycled, with nothing wasted in the process. Everything else in my closet would be an item I really love, something I’ve purchased with the intention of keeping for a long time, be it a classic blazer or vivid floral skirt. Longevity means different things to different people, and even if I fall out of love with something, it will be high-quality enough to resell on the RealReal or Vestiaire Collective. Again, nothing wasted"

cold and rainy how do you dress cute? vintage and contemporary fashion

It is almost February and throughout most of the states and parts of the world it is rainy, overcast, snowy and cold. The winter weather sometimes brings on the blah feelings in getting dressed. Since moving to Bellingham, Washington I've changed the way I dress and I am much more casual. In part to the weather and also due to the smaller town and how much I go out. Some ways I've tried to step up creativity in the way I dress.... Accessories and Outerwear!!! I have stepped up my jewelry, hair accessories, head bands, vintage scarves and even colorful fun socks. Not to mention a vibrant pop of color lipstick helps give me that EXTRA. If you are in a cold climate hats and jackets are a must. why not make those items the central part of your outfit, since thats what people are seeing the most. Bright colors, vibrant prints and patterns can do the trick. I've been wearing a neon pink knit hat with a matching pink lipstick that makes me feel really good and gives me a boost. Hope you are staying warm and feeling good. check out some of our fun offerings in our accessories and outerwear sections.
