Sustainable Fashion is a movement that aims at incorporating environmentally friendly practices into the clothing or fashion industry. It simply means having a sustainable lifestyle personally with regard to your clothing.

Every new season means a change in style. The move from one season to the next always has a huge impact on how we think and feel. We make adjustments to the way we look based on the weather conditions and our environment. But of course, seasons influence more than just our dress sense and outlook; the change of seasons affects our entire culture.

Packing for a trip can be an extremely daunting task. We want to look cute but we don’t want to bring the whole world with us. Especially for us ladies who backpack around, it is important that we pack light. But we don’t want our photos to suffer either- we need good outfits.

Luckily, there are some easy tips to help pack the perfect pieces without going overboard.

Though we don’t usually think about it this way, our clothing is actually an important part of our identity. How we dress tells others a lot about us, and this has been a trend throughout history. Think about it, back when social status and class structures were an integral part of society, your clothing told others your status. Peasants dressed a certain way, the only way they could dress within their means to afford clothing, while nobles dressed differently. Back in Ancient Japan, kimonos even told a story about who you were based on the patterns stitched within the fabric.

The modern world is full of some rather lovely evolving fashion pieces, a puzzle that keeps morphing but always manages to keep its lines fitted. It keeps taking from the past and ricocheting into the future with incredible speed, often leaving some of the biggest fashion trends in society behind.

In the end, when finalizing a fashionable look, it all comes down to your complexion. Your makeup, your hair, how you dress, it really does all tie into your skin tone. Have you ever found yourself skipping out on a certain dress because the color washes you out? Or perhaps different colors look better on your paler or tanner friends than they do on you. Or perhaps you’ve noticed your makeup not matching your chest?

When we look back on the fashion of the 2000’s, we notice that it was a little less than cohesive. In fact, it was basically a train wreck. What happened to fashion in the 2000’s? Well, when we entered into the new century, every designer was trying to figure out how to invent that signature staple piece for the new era. However, everyone seemed to struggle with that, and instead of inventing something new, we wound up with a cluster of mismatched pieces. This doesn’t mean that we should completely disregard the fashion from 2000-2009, however. Instead, let’s focus on it in this article so we can remember what we loved about it to bring that forward with us and so we remember why some of the fashion of the early 2000’s should stay dead.
