How to Wear Springs 3 Hottest Trends
I want to say spring has sprung but, the truth of it is, it’s still in the far off distance. Yes, we may still be scraping ice off our car windshields and wearing jackets over our… jackets, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start daydreaming of lighter colors, layers, and lighter clothing in general. I had the privilege of attending NYFW last fall, where I got a sneak peek of some of the upcoming trends. It’s always so exciting to see what’s going to be the next “new,” particularly when the designers are transitioning from winter and resort lines into spring and summer. I fell in love with a few of the styles, so I wanted to share them, and a few other looks predicted for spring 2020. Here’s a little insight into how to wear these upcoming trends.

My Catastrophe with Bantu Knots
Bitch Are You Dumb?? Yesterday, after my friend and I had performed at a show, she asked me to go inside a gas station to grab a bottle of wine so that we could celebrate the performance. I immediately rolled my eyes and said “ughhh, you want people to see me see me”, to which she replied “are you ashamed?”, in the “bitch are you dumb” voice that she does so well. As soon as she said that, I realized that I was ashamed, and I was ashamed of my beautiful BANTU KNOTS. I had put the Bantu Knots in my hair for the performance I did because I thought it went along with the theme of the solo. But in the rural environment that we go to school in I knew that it wasn’t going to be accepted as well or AT ALL, anywhere off the stage.

Women's Twill Joggers versus Women's Trouser Leggings
Twill Joggers What Are Twill Joggers Made of? Usually, twill joggers are made of comfortable and lightweight materials such as merino wool, viscose, but also breathable synthetic fabrics like polyester or elastane. Compared to leggings, these pants are roomier around the hips and tighter right under the knee area. Most twill jogger pants come with elastic bands that embrace the waist and the calves. This makes them the ideal travel pants for women.

Does A Women Really Need A Bra
There's been a heated discussion online recently questioning whether or not women need bras. Some were in favor of a bra, saying that it gives their body form and support, others are against a bra, stating that they put comfort before beauty. This got me thinking … what if we all put comfort before beauty. What do we do in the morning?

8 Collar Types for Dress Shirts
So you go to the department store for a button-up shirt, and you think I want a nice button-up shirt, and then you pick up three shirts, and all of the collars are different. Why? What does it matter? A dress shirt is just a shirt, right? Wrong. Listen up here. You beginner, those aren't just any collar shirts they have names! Kind of, look at it like you are going to the meat market and you the butcher says what do you want? And you say meat; the butch looks at you and says what kind of meat? Would you say meat is meat? I was hoping you wouldn't answer that. I will answer it for you. No, same with what goes around your neck. When it comes to dress shirts and details, the right collar is one of the principal assessments you will have to make.
