Savvy Fashion Basics

We all view the world based upon our past experiences, beliefs, prejudices, needs and emotional states. - Dr. Joe Rubino

How do you view the world of fashion? No two persons, think, dress, or feel the same way about fashions. So, how would you build a wardrobe based on your awareness of what feels right to you? What is an acceptable fashion style to you? Your style may not be the same as that of a close relative, your neighbor or a co-worker.

How do you sort the clothing in your wardrobe? By the colors you like? By the different seasons? By your fabric choices? Or, by your style? Any one of these arrangements is acceptable. And since the items in a basic wardrobe are usually made up of a small number of clothes that can be mixed and matched with each other, a commitment to careful planning is required.

A commitment to do the bare minimum of actions everyday toward keeping your clothing in wearable, tip-top shape is essential. And being consistent in your daily wardrobe care is a worthwhile achievement. Here are a few points to consider.

o Sorting by Your Color Choices

Aside from having a closet full of clothing in your favorite color, the basic colors are black, brown, neutrals (like, tan gray and beige), and navy. These basic colors can be worn and contrasted with white and most other light shades of color.

Since black is considered the most basic of the colors, it needs the most care to keep it looking fresh and elegant. When wearing black, make sure your make-up is glowing and cheerful.

The warm and rich color of brown flatters the skin and hair. The many shades of brown may not all be worn together, and requires caution in matching the different tones.

Clothing in the neutral colors must be carefully coordinated when worn with other colors. The shades appear delicate when combined with darker colors.

Navy combines well when worn with red, lavender or pink, gold, and is perfect with white.

o Sorting by Seasons

This is an easy one. The four major changes are: fall, winter, spring, and summer. Most of us divide our clothing into two groups. Fall and winter wear can be grouped together, and the spring and summer wear grouped together. Old items can be replaced as each new season begins.

o Sorting by Fabric Choices.

Most of your fabrics are selected by seasons or the climate. As often as possible, choose versatile, easy care fabrics that you can wear all year round. These would include your lightweight wools, denims, jerseys, and all natural fibers like silks and cottons. And when selecting your fabric choices, always buy good quality. Quality fabrics wear well and last much longer.

o Sorting by Styles

Your style is determined by your personality, your individual taste, and what looks good on you. No matter what style you choose, your clothing must reflect your sense of self-esteem or confidence. And always match your style to the occasion for which you wear it.

The colors, the fabrics, and your style make up the largest and most important parts of your fashion wardrobe. Not too many women can afford to have a completely new wardrobe every season. So, in order to be fashionable and savvy from one season to the next, stick with the basic colors in your coats, dresses, pants and suits. Then you can always add an updated top, scarf or accessory to be savvy in your style.

15 Daily Feminist Activities

Youre busy. Youre broke. How do you make positive social change without having to dole out big bucks and loads of energy? Here are 15 feminist activities you can incorporate into your daily life to solve that dilemma.

1. Leave copies of feminist publications everywhere. Leave behind old issues of Ms., Girlistic and local womens papers in ObGYN waiting rooms and dental offices. Forget articles in the copy machine at work. Latent feminists are everywhere you never know who might find your little treasures and feel a sense of anonymous camaraderie and support.

2. Use feminine pronouns as generic pronouns, especially when talking about male-dominated professions or industries. Its surprising how noticeable it is when you use she or her as a generic. People hear it and take note.

3 & 4. Patronize women-owned businesses, especially when theyre local. Women own 48% of all businesses nation-wide, and that number is growing. Yet in the largest companies, women fill only 10% of the positions of power. So, support us where it counts - when were in a position to give ourselves equal pay. Avoid businesses that dont support women. Wal-Mart has a horrendous record of treating female employees badly. Carls Jr. has incredibly sexist and degrading commercials. Businesses that clearly dont have your interests at heart dont need your money.

5. Attend events like Take Back The Night, Vagina Monologue showings, womens sporting events, and womens music festivals. Events like these are empowering and exciting, and adding your body to the crowd not only helps boost feminist moral but also reenergizes your activist batteries.

6. Visit feminist websites and blogs. The more you visit feminist websites, the more hits they have under their belts. The more hits they have, the more advertisers are willing to pay to be placed on the site. The more advertisers are willing to pay, the more funds those websites have at their disposal to put to work towards feminist goals. Plus, you learn a thing or two while youre surfing.

7. Sign up for action alerts from websites like Feminist Majority Foundation, NOW, and Amnesty International. They email you alerts for new actions and in about 30 seconds you can send a letter to political leaders on pertinent issues.

8. Check out feminist books from local libraries. It doesnt matter if you dont have time to read them. Just checking them out shows an interest in the subject and the library will continue to shelve the books, and may grow their feminist resources if they see enough demand. Also, request books they dont carry. They might be able to stock them later on.

9 & 10. Buy gender-neutral toys and clothes for baby showers and birthdays. If you have to buy something, this is an easy way to slow the perpetuation of gender stereotypes, especially when it comes to educational toys.

Buy stamps. When you choose your stamps, choose the breast cancer stamps, the stop family violence stamps, or stamps that feature females. Not only do your dollars make a difference but when you send out your mail, those stamps pass through a lot of hands and are noticed by a surprisingly large number of people.

11. Pass along feminist books. Its tough to let go of a good book, but someone else may be aching to read it and not even know it yet. If you come across someone who can use your copy of Women Who Run With Wolves, dont be afraid to lend it, or even give it, to someone who will appreciate it and who can then spread along the good word as well.

12. Add information to forms. When filling out a form that asks M or F, add in other options such as Intersex, reminding people that sex is not black and white. If the form is asking about your sex, but it states gender, cross out M and F and put masculine, feminine, and androgynous to illustrate that gender is how we perform our sex and sexuality, and not sex itself. If it asks marital status, add in Domestic Partners. Even if you dont need the extra options, others do.

13. Write positive letters to the editor. Its surprising how fast you can whip out a 200 word letter to your local paper thanking them for featuring a female columnist or journalist, covering womens activities positively, or showing an advertisement that supports or empowers women. Editors listen, and this encourages them to continue or increase the positive things theyre doing.

14. Ask questions. Ask your employer, or a company with whom youre interviewing, their policy on prescription birth control, same-sex partner benefits, coverage of mammograms and annual wellness exams, and childcare support systems. Even if the issues dont directly affect you, your asking reminds others there is a concern about these things.

15. Say what you actually think. Yes, this is a tough one sometimes, but highly effective. Add to the conversation what you think, not what you feel others want to hear. It will increase the richness of the conversation, as well as impact other people because more than likely, someone else in the room will agree with you and feel empowered to speak their mind too.
