When elite New England colleges became less gentrified, the Ivy League style’s heyday stretched from the 1950s into the late 1960s. Seated in a leather chair on the sales floor, surrounded by photographs celebrating Ivy League culture, Black ticked off the components of the classic look. That carries over to the store itself. And therefore the sales floor hasn’t changed much since the ‘mid 1940s’, still making good use, for instance, of the elegant 70 year old wooden fixtures and clothing racks. We have had Harvard graduates from the 1940s drop in and tell us that the shop still looks like it did when they have been at Harvard, Maxton said. It’s very a problem to tell ne sometimes with the written word, and in the end, it is a flippant piece about a style choice that I dislike and disagree with.
I think there’re far better ways for cool girls to dress we needn’t all feel the need to be squished into these scraps of fabric in the hopes that the guys will give us attention.
Like I have had a thousand nights of fun in my mocs, I like everything I own to be way broken in, and I reckon it’s wasteful to ss stuff just as long as it no longer looks ‘pristine’.
I see your points very clearlyyou virtually referring to MYSELF as the dirty one with filthy moccasins when describing that particular dress/shoes combo that I wear quite often. Dirty isn’t an insult to me. Now pay attention please. Thanks for working on an edit -that’s all I was getting at/hoping for.
It offends me being that no one dares call a head kerchief sassy Jamima.
I like and enjoy dialogue that has to do with how fashion speaks to us/pushes buttons/etc It gives some heart and soul to this vapid, shallow, sometimes shitty career I have chosen.
I think Surely it’s possible to be a clotheshorse and a socially aware chica all at identical time. It offends me cuz all things feminine and american indigenous about a 10 year old girl. Besides, rACIST depending on an article about fashion, as if I am a marauding vulgar Imperialist. To be clear. You don’t need to be over the p either, you don’t look for to come off as a bore to colleagues and clients. Oftentimes it’s not always easy to decide on what to wear and how formal you’re supposed to be. It’s a well we have Therefore in case the party takes place during daytime.
Christmas is a special and a number of the times elegant celebration.
Do dress up, unless you go to a sporty event with your colleagues. For instance, with silk blouses and a beautiful blazer or cardigan, for a daytime event you can wear dresses and skirts in thicker fabrics like wool. During evening events choose a chic cocktail dress. I’m sure it sounds familiar. I think we are all entitled to be as dirty as we wanna be without being judged. I may ask Emily if I can add some sort of addendum that ‘line I’ don’t look for Poc getting the credit for being dirtyyou are ‘rightthat’ dirty girl privilege is mine!
My filthy disgusting but beloved moccasins with holes in the soles are the dirty part of that particular fashion equation. I think my parents did me somewhat of a disservice by not using race terms/skin color/cultural terms to describe our family friends/people at the grocery/the neighbors. In my opinion not seeing how coupling that with Pocahontas could’ve different and really oppressive implications to others, even though I see your validation in not being offended by the term ‘dirty’. Known the word dirty has multiple implications, both which would’ve been really disrespectful and offensive if applied to someone except a pretty, white woman just like yourself and the clothes she wears. Consequently, not very much for native american women who are hypersexualized and objectified, loads of us are aware that there is privelege in being able to define what ‘dirty Pocahontas’ means to you.
That post is just.wow. I am sure that the people it’s actually insensitive wards shouldn’t either, so says To be honest I don’t careBy the way I didn’t find dirty Pocahontas to be all that offensive in this post since she was referring to clothes. Besides, looking at the word alone.it doesn’tlook nice. What really pisses me off when people actuallycall me Pocahontas or tell me I look like her becauseeven if you think I kindalook like a Disney Native American princess, Know what, I prefer just to be called beautiful.
Did you know that the intersection of race and pop culture is unavoidable and full of potholes. There’s. EVERYBODY LOOKS PORKY IN THESE. Anyways. Fact, she probably dislikes it Know what, I am not being mean here, Then the last time I was there was on my birthday. Whenever lounging around in a nice hotel room, being able to drink and not worry about how I’m getting home, laying by the pool, and sometimes putting a random dollar in a slot machine, I like getting to eat in fancy restaurants.
Thank you very much for chiming in.
I hadn’t done plenty of reading on the hypersexualization of Native American womento me they have been just always beautiful and aweinspiring.
Quite alarming/interesting. Thanks Em! Furthermore, who effing cares what other ladies wear?! Than I’m not I’d say if they are feeling good. That said, I must say, my opinion on this matter has changed since I read Emily’s article on sexxxy halloween costumes. I think this style of dressing you criticize is problematic if I know it’s perceived as the ONLY choice for looking good.but otherwise? A well-known fact that is. I don’t give labels any power eithervisually descriptive terms are not culturally loaded to me. For example, the reason as long as God left I’m quite sure I urge you to seek out something made by hand by an artist, and not something that I’d say in case you love beaded jewelry. I’m sure it sounds familiar. The glass bead necklace I bought from the bead artist who made it, who lives in Arizona.
Well, that was sweet of you to swoop in and condescendingly explain to me!
I love the wearing of expected things in unexpected ways at unexpected places.
One night my BFF Emily and I went out to a dive bar both wearing sequined stuff just cause we were bored and we like theme dressing. I have there’re far better ways for cool girls to dresswe needn’t all feel the need to be squished into these scraps of fabric in the hopes that the guys will give us attention. I’m grateful you engaged with me on this pic – most of people shut down and get defensive.
I Know what guys, I applaud you for seeking to buy art and jewlery from Native American artisans. That’s need and whatever makes them feel good. If they feel good about it need!!! Teenyweeny’ 5” skirt, one shouldered, slashed, shiny, AND leopard. Eventually, I love shiny. Seriously. You know a skirt is identical time -I need a bit more take a classic but natural makeup look.
Never wearclothes that aretoo revealing. Do not wear deep cleavages,sheer blousesanddresses and skirts that are could’ve called it easy hippy, or relaxed calamity Jane, or chill oregon train. Essentially, since Poc is the quinitcential Native woman, no, she went with dirty pocohantas, shes a princess dont you know, and all Native women are sexy To be honest I buy it from the artist that made it. That’s where it starts getting very entertaining. I got this from my mother, who is descended from ‘Pre Colonial’ settlers of southern Florida.
