CAPSULE WARDROBE BASICS

There is a saying “Too many clothes and nothing to wear”. It commonly applies to many women simply because their wardrobe is disorganized that they cannot easily decide which clothes they should wear.

In the past, in the 1930’s, women might have had only 36 items in their wardrobe. Today, the number has grown up to 120. That is the biggest reason why you cannot find anything to put on today is because it is very hard to see over the clutter. The best solution to your problem is to have a capsule wardrobe.

2 WAYS TO INCREASE FOOT TRAFFIC IN YOUR STORE

Retail isn’t dead but like everything else, it’s just shifting.

There are a variety of factors influencing a general decline in foot traffic in retail space, not the least of which is the state of the economy and an ongoing increase in online shopping.

That being said, have you been to a Starbucks lately that didn’t have a line for their $5 frappaccinos? Probably not. They work hard to get your feet in their doors. Their latest iteration is the mobile ordering system, where you can order from your phone before you get there and presto: your order is waiting for you at the counter when you arrive, all paid for and ready to go. Even before mobile ordering, Starbucks’ loyalty system had been running for years and it works. Even I, who is relatively immune to this kind of thing, was just a ‘tiny bit’ excited when my Starbucks Gold Card arrived in the mail, printed with my name and giving me access to special deals and promotions. I fell for it hook, line and latte.

WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT ETHICAL FASHION?

Ethical fashion is the term that you have probably heard a lot of times these days. It is very important to understand how unethical the industry of fashion can be. If you need more information about unethical practices of the fashion industry watch The True Cost, a documentary by Andrew Morgan on Netflix, takes a look at fast fashion’s unadvertised sins, from pollution, poor employees’ exploitation, to the unregulated production that caused a factory collapse killing more than 1,000 people in Bangledesh in 2013, to the toxic waste caused by factories producing disposable garments, to the attempts at unionization and increased pay that are prevented by horrible acts of violence. Oh ya, it’s a disturbing eye opener.

Ethical fashion is the form of fashion which tries to circumvent some and even all of those problems. It is something that covers eco-friendly fashion, fair trade fashion, sustainable fashion and vegan fashion. It can include brands that donate or an environmental gesture every time that some purchases any of their products.

10 REASONS EVERY WOMAN SHOULD OWN A WRAP DRESS

A wrap dress is one of the most iconic fashion styles of all time. Although well-embedded into the American designer sportswear tradition, the design has become synonymous with Diane Von Furstenburg. Her choice in elastic, synthetic fabrics distinguished her clothing line from other wrap dresses from previous decades.

The first iteration of the wrap dress was the “taxi dress” by Charles James in the 1930s. However, it was Furstenburg’s design that dominated the fashion scene in the 1970s and continues to be a staple in women’s wardrobes today. Her wrap dress traditionally consists of long sleeves, a V neckline, and a knee-length skirt. It’s a classic piece that has crossed over from being a trend to becoming a necessity. Click to continue reading the 10 reasons why you need to have a wrap dress in your closet!
