fashion history: the single line...

nothing is more sexy then the stocking with seams...paired with a perfectly fit pencil skirt...and meow! although they aren't worn often...as they were at one time...

during world war II...women found inventive ways to create the look...due to war rationing...stockings were hard to come by because nylon was needed to make parachutes...women used leg makeup (or cold tea) to darken their calves...then...using an eyebrow pencil...drew a line down the back to resemble a seam...

now that is what i call...being creative...

what am i saying?

clothes talk, even when we don't...they speak volumes about us...it's hard to assemble a wardrobe and communicate personal style without understanding its elements...the color, fabric, pattern, and texture of what we wear can hint at the most subtle aspects of our lives...

white, satin, fishnet - all are loaded with different meanings...



why do we choose what we choose?

what decisions do we make when choosing to put two disparate pieces of clothing together?

make sure that you and your clothes speak the same language...
