For years, I was a skirt girl and wore full, pleated skirts almost exclusively. I still have a few that I can’t quite bear to part with just yet … but they’re gathering dust as we speak. Since my style preferences have shifted, I find I’m more inclined to do stretchy tube skirts, sleek pencil skirts, or floor-sweeping maxis. Never thought this day would come!
What’s your preferred skirt style? Length? Fiber? OR if you’re completely anti-skirt, would you be willing to share your reasons?
Skincare is SO personal. Every person’s skin reacts to the environment, foods, allergens, stress, hormones, and dozens of other factors, so it can be tricky to “recommend” products to others. You never know what all is affecting someone else’s complexion. (Hell, half the time I don’t know what’s monkeying with my own complexion.)
But if you’re anything like me, keeping your skin happy is both a passion and an ongoing science project. So I’d love it if you could share a few of your skincare faves and explain why you love them. I’ll get the party started:
Some of you lovely readers may not be old enough to have lived through trends more than once, but I know many of you – like me – have. Neon, gauchos, slides/mules, midriff-baring shirts, and pegged jeans are all things I saw as a youngster and watched swing back into trendy favor again in recent years. I’ve heard some say that if you’ve lived through a trend once, you should pass on it the second time around … but I don’t adhere to that. When trends re-emerge, they’re often tweaked to fit contemporary sensibilities; Similar but not identical. And if you want to try them again, go for it.
