“As I grew up and began identifying myself as a feminist, there were plenty of issues that continued to make me question marriage: the father "giving" the bride away, women taking their husband's last name, the white dress, the vows promising to "obey" the groom. And that only covers the wedding.” GivingLastsFatherNamesWhiteIssuesGrewHusbandGrew UpDressesFeministPlentyVowBridesIdentifying Author:Jessica Valenti
“Hip hop - it's an art form but it's a culture as well. You grow up in the culture and you never leave it. It's a style of dress; it's a way of thought. I always grew up in the culture, and it was part of who I was and I carried it into every world I was in.” WorldWayWellsArtFormCultureGrowsGrowing UpStyleGrewGrew UpDressesHip HopHipsHops Author:LeCrae

“The early twenties when we drank wood alcohol and every day in every way grew better and better, and there was a first abortive shortening of the skirts, and girls all looked alike in sweater dresses, and people you didn't want to know said "Yes, we have no bananas," and it seemed only a question of a few years before the older people would step aside and let the world be run by those who saw things as they were--and it all seems rosy and romantic to us who were young then, because we will never feel quite so intensely about our surroundings any more.” PeopleKnowsWorldWayWantFeelsYearsFirstsSaidSeemsRunningYoungGirlStepsSawsGrewTwentiesDressesWoodsAlcoholSurroundingsDrankSkirtsBananasSweatersOlder PeopleRosy Author:F.

“The aesthetic came along the way, I think - just through experimenting, and going on tour, and trying stuff out on stage, having fun with it, and not taking it too seriously. If I had a ballgown at home, I'd wear it onstage. If I found something in a charity shop, I'd wear it. That's where it grew from - just wanting to play dress-up.” IfsThinkingWayTryingPlayHomeFoundFunStuffStageGrewDressesCharityHaving FunShopsAesthetic Author:Florence Welch
“Um, Faythe?” Marc reached for my arm, and a small grin turned up one corner of his beautiful mouth. “As my first official piece of advice to the new Alpha, let me suggest that you put on some pants. And maybe a shirt.” His grin grew and pulled me closer to whisper in my ear, while Jace watched us stiffly from across the room. “While the look definitely works for me, I’m thinking the other Alphas might take you more seriously if you dress the part.” IfsThinkingFirstsLooksMightBeautifulRoomsPiecesAdviceArmsGrewMouthsEarsLet MeDressesCornersShirtsOfficialsPantsJaceAlphas Author:Rachel Vincent
