The Effects of Political Fashion
Over the years, fashion has become more of a way people define themselves as opposed to practicality. If your outfit is more on the colorful and/or ornate side, you’re considered a “bold” individual, “outgoing,” and vice versa. Using that concept to their advantage, fashion designers have started incorporating various slogans into their clothing that stem beyond the menial “Today is gonna be awesome!” Phrases such as “The future is female,” “Make America New York Again,” and “This is what a feminist looks like” were seen on the models (genders aside) gracing the runway at New York Fashion Week earlier this year. Although this concept seems relatively recent, political fashion has existed for many years in various forms, just not as openly, or as accepted.

Yeezy = Unfashion
While a lot of artists have been branded by the concept of misunderstood genius, I doubt that Kanye is one of them. Don't get me wrong — I love fashion. But this isn't it. I am also all for innovation. Again, not how I imagine it.

Proudly Poshing
As a Poshmark seller and buyer for over a year now, I've come to find that there are some unwritten rules to the popular fashion platform that aren't entirely outlined in the policies and regulations provided by Poshmark admin and it's left a sour taste in the mouths of all those who've not had the privilege of getting a detailed manual on the "how to's" from both perspectives. With all the diversity of cultures and cultivation comes the adversity of personal conduct. We, as individuals, reserve the right to be respected but have the undefined responsibility to be respectful when it comes to gaining monetarily or otherwise. When in the heat of the moment, human nature will have us acting like gladiators battling to the death during the Roman empire over something as trivial as a snag in the seam of a shirt or unflattering fit from a pair highly coveted pants. So when it comes to the bare basics of listing descriptions or amazing offers, you still want to be sure there aren't any sore toes you're stepping on because even the smallest details can make the biggest difference, good or bad. Here's some first-hand knowledge I've gained from being on both ends of the buyer and seller relationship and how helping others helps you as one and/or the other.

Fashion Icon Dream Chasing
I'd like to believe everything has a reason. For every heartbreak comes a treasure so pure. Every failure comes a success. For every bad day comes a better day. Every depressing time comes the happiest you've ever had. It's honestly how you decide to live your life. Over time, I've taken notice how much pain people go through, though a small act of kindness could brighten someone else day.
