Fashion and Racism

July 10, 2020 by Macca Edwards Leave a Comment

Currently, the US is dealing with a lot of upheaval. COVID-19 is not going anywhere any time soon. The Black Lives Matter movement is taking place louder than ever; as it should. Along with that, the fashion industry is being called out on all of their racism, greed, and misconduct.

First, things first. Look around…how many black models or people of color do you see in a magazine, ads, billboards, online shopping sites? There is little representation; if any. Why is there such little representation of black women in the fashion industry? It is an industry built on catering to the eye of a white consumer. However, this leaves out an entire population of human beings who are also consumers who should be represented.

As a white woman I have never had to look around and wonder where my representation is. I know that when I browse through fashion magazines and shop online or walk through a department store there will be someone who looks like me and probably a lot of someone’s.

A black model shared, “The most common issue I run into is having to bring my own foundation to set. Models, generally, are not asked to bring their own foundation to a shoot because that’s the job of the makeup artist…”

Why It’s So Much Harder for Black Women to Make It in the Fashion World

While there is a lack of representation in the media there is an overwhelming representation of women who are of color. “Today, global fashion continues to depend on the exploitation of non-white, poor, and mostly female workers and communities in the Global South. https://newrepublic.com/article/153596/fix-fashion-industrys-racism

Brands have created a production model that keeps garment workers poor and working in unsafe conditions to maximize their own profits.” https://amp.theguardian.com/global-development/2020/jun/11/racism-is-at-the-heart-of-fast-fashion-its-time-for-change

The COVID-19 epidemic is bringing hardship to western clothing brands; causing them to abandon payment on the huge orders placed that are already in production. This leaves the factories with piles of fabric that won’t ever be paid for and garment workers who also won’t get paid. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2020/apr/02/fashion-brands-cancellations-of-24bn-orders-catastrophic-for-bangladesh

There are brands who are choosing to honor their financial agreement. Unfortunately, the garment supply chain is set up for the supplies to take all the risk. They buy all the cloth, hire the workers, make the clothes, and an invoice is shipped. However, with brands canceling after already placing their order. They are not honoring their commitment. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2020/apr/02/fashion-brands-cancellations-of-24bn-orders-catastrophic-for-bangladesh

Fashion is so much fun. But, when things like this are taking place it’s no longer fun. It can’t be. Fast fashion is built to build the rich up and keep the poor down. People matter. Cheap fashion does not take into consideration the lives behind the work. The horrific conditions physically, emotionally, financially. We as a human race should care for each other and where we spend our money makes a huge impact!

I sincerely encourage you to consider where you shop. Where you hard earned money goes and what it is supporting. You can help to bring change by joining the PayUp Movement. Support The Fashion Revolution and Fair Wear Foundation.

Invest in You

June 1, 2020 by Macca Edwards Leave a Comment

Sharing style ideas, inspiration, and/or recommendations for what to wear feels a little strange with all that is going on in the world. Everything is uncertain. Is clothing really something to discuss? Does clothing really matter considering the state of how things are going?

While what we wear does not really matter in the grand scheme of things; it does feel nice to put some effort in. Taking the time to wear things that make us feel put together does mean something for our well being. Depending on what a typical day looks like for you- working from home, parenting, still heading out to your job; you might have to continue putting the time in to get dressed. Perhaps your business on the top and casual on the bottom for all those zoom calls from your living room.

Whatever the case may be I want to encourage you to take the time at least once a week to get fully dressed as you would when life was at its norm. For me I have been feeling ready to put the time and effort in on Friday’s. It is also the night my husband and I try to have a little in-home date night. Maybe you need to get dressed in a presentable way more than once a week. Whatever feels good to you is best! But, at the very least pick one day a week to invest in you and put some effort into your outfit, hair, makeup (if that is a part of what makes you feel put together). Take the times to do the things that make you feel confident, happy, and lively!

Perhaps you feel your best in cozy clothes. Sweats are your happy place. If that is the case don’t put on jeans or a dress just because. You will not feel happy. Instead, opt for a pair of sweats or joggers, a pullover or tee that makes you feel good! A matching set is always a great way to feel put together. Separates are great too! The only stipulation is that it makes you feel good. Like it or not clothing plays a role in how we feel about ourselves. Which in turn effects how we act towards others, interact with others and ourselves. Clothing can make us feel yucky, lazy, tired, blah. Clothing can also make us feel empowered, strong, happy, excited; emotions are tied up in how we dress our bodies.

So, this is just a little reminder to take the time to invest in you. While everything is up in the air and life is wonky. We can only control what we can control. Our behavior, feelings, reactions, sense of self are things we can be mindful of and how you dress your body is a piece of that.

These are a few of my current favorites for at home leisurely but still put together looks! I hope you find them inspirational with pieces you might already have in your closet.

Thanks so much for reading. Stay safe and healthy, dear friends!

Kick up Your Spurs!

May 2, 2020 by Macca Edwards Leave a Comment

John Wayne’s birthday is this month! For me he is that guy who was a “go getter,” “get er’ done!,” “no nonsense,” kind of man—a fun character to portray—especially with COVID-19 at the forefront of our lives. Thinking about how the characters John Wayne portrayed were strong and fearless; what a great time to consider such a personality and to do our best to encompass these qualities during hardship. Sometimes it is fun to think outside the box and to find that alter ego who exudes strength. We can conquer this quarantine and come out better than ever.

So, in celebration of John Wayne’s birthday, and the fun his characters bring to our lives, we are going to give our style a little western vibe!

Cowboy boots are a classic and a great way to add some flare to an outfit. Now, there are traditional cowboy boots and ones that lean on the spectrum of “made for fashion” Western boots. We are going to stick with the fashion-forward cowboy style boots for the looks we’ll be creating.

First off, tall cowboy boots are a great way to make a statement. Throw on a white dress, a black moto jacket, boots, and a crossbody. This look is effortless, perfect for spring, and a cool summer night. A midi length skirt pairs well with tall boots. But for this look, we will stick with above the knee length for warm weather days. The perfect finishing touch is a long stone necklace. The pop of color will look amazing against the white dress. The moto jacket is a great way to modernize an otherwise classic, feminine, western style outfit. The leather jacket mixes styles and adds an edgy element. You can opt for a more classic look and wear a denim jacket. A darling look! Just depends on the vibe you prefer.

Wearing a pair of short booties with some stitching details is a very trendy way to achieve the western cowboy boot look. These style boots look great with denim shorts, skirts, flare cropped denim, or skinny/straight leg cropped denim. The short style boot the most versatile option. I personally love the way these booties look with a cropped flare. Cropped flare denim are trendy and a great way to show off the boots! Wear these pieces with a graphic tee and a green military jacket. Again, a mix of different trends. It’s the perfect casual yet, sophisticated look.

Finally, opt for a midcalf boot and wear with a maxi dress. Tall boots aren’t great for when it starts to get especially hot. But if the temps are not too high then a midcalf boot is a fun option. Pair these boots with a long flowy dress for an easy breezy feel. Boots dress up a summer maxi and give it some edge. Bring along your denim jacket just in case, layer a few dainty necklaces and you are set!

Cheers to embracing our western style and adding some trendy pieces for today’s style. Happy Birthday John Wayne. Stay safe and healthy, friends.

Let’s Focus on Floral Fun

April 7, 2020 by Macca Edwards Leave a Comment

It’s been quite a whirlwind the past several weeks. Health scares that have people in hysteria. It is scary. The unknown is scary. But, the best way to tackle that fear is to take a deep breath, do our best, reach out and support one another, do our part to stay healthy, and take time to enjoy the little things—the little things like Alive Magazine!

I hope you find this month’s style column enjoyable; a space to unwind and feel lighthearted. Sometimes taking a moment to think about things like the new season of spring coming, fashion, baking, planting flowers, etc., is just what we need to feel renewed and a bit more at ease, or at the very least super excited, for the days when we can rock these looks out and about in the outside world!

So, for this month we’re talking all things floral. Florals are fun year-round. But, there’s something about florals in the spring that really brighten my frame of mind. Plus, putting on the type of clothing that’s bright and exuberant directly affects how we feel and how we engage with the world. Whether you’re going to work, heading to a luncheon, or spending the weekend out with family, florals can make their way into your wardrobe and be just the ticket to brighten your day.

A blouse with florals is a great way to add some spring inspiration to your work look. Pair it with a cropped pant. Adding another color like a forest green with your pants really amps it up a notch. If the weather is still a bit chilly, throw on a cream sweater blazer to continue with the lighter, brighter hues. Finish the look with tan snakeskin loafers and a tan bag. Have some fun with mixing prints! The patterns clash but the colors coordinate. That’s what matters. For this particular look, the top is predominantly black which ties in the dark hue of the shoe. The tan bag is just another way to keep things coordinating with the shoes.

This look just screams, “take me to an awesome weekend brunch!” Wear florals from head to toe in an awesome dress. A dress like this stands out all on its own—no need to add a jacket unless needed for weather purposes. Otherwise rock it solo! The sleeves are lovely and deserve a moment. Wear a pair of pointy-toe white booties, a long layered necklace, and a colored bag. Booties are a great option for spring, if it’s not necessarily warm enough for sandals. Plus, if it’s early spring, it may not be quite appropriate.

Finally, keep things super casual with a denim floral print moto jacket. Phew, that was a mouth full for one item! But, seriously, how awesome is this jacket? Wear it with a classic white tee and cropped denim. Add some edge by wearing black leather sneakers and a black backpack. Love how the edgy kicks and trendy bag balance out the feminine jacket.

That’s it for now! Hope you’re all staying safe and healthy. As always, stop by maccarose.com for links to these looks and more on fashion.

Spring Trends

March 11, 2020 by Macca Edwards Leave a Comment

We’re heading into spring. You know what that means? Lots of new wardrobe possibilities! Trends are always making a splash this time of year. It’s time to pull out the brighter hues and fun prints. So, let’s talk about a few of the trends we’re seeing this spring. Bold floral prints, bold colors, and bold polka dots. If you haven’t caught on; it’s looking like bold is an it-factor!

(TOPSHOP: Ruffle hem dress $95)

Try out some polka dots! The trend makes a comeback time and time again. It’s one of those prints that’s so much fun and allows for your playful side to take part. The fact that black and white is such a classic dot color scheme allows for the print to be sophisticated and perfect for any occasion. Rock a polka dotted dress with sneakers and a denim jacket for a stroll around the farmers market. Wear with a clutch and heels or booties for a more dressed up occasion.

(French Connection: Eloise Blouse $88)

Bold florals can be worn in so many ways. The options are endless. Keep it casual with a floral print tee, jeans, and sneakers. Or, opt for a sheer blouse with a great striped hem detailing. This too could be dressed up or down. Rock it with white pants and strappy sandals for date night or pair it with flare jeans and sneakers for a fun weekend brunch look.

(Eliza J: Bishop Sleeve Sweater dress $148)

Next, plunge into the bold color palettes. No better time than spring to be bold and bright! I’ve seen lots of solid colored dressed that make the perfect statement with their bold hues. If your church service is a dressed-up occasion then this is a great look to wear. A bridal shower, baby shower, or Easter brunch is also a perfect occasion for a fun dress. Wear your dress with flats for comfort and ease. Dress it up a bit with wedges or go full force in a pair of heels.

(Loft- Floral Tiered Maxi Dress- $100)

Now let’s combine them. Mix it up and go for a bold color and bold florals! This dress is great for throwing on and feeling put together. The sleeve length and hemline is perfect for spring’s unruly weather patterns. It’s easy to put on a long trench for a rainy day, denim jacket and light scarf for some warmth on a sunny yet, chilly day. Something to remember about Loft is this retailer often has sales. Be sure to wait for their 40% off days! Loft is a great spot for finding bold hues and bold prints.

Happy spring, friends! I hope these trends find you feeling inspired with your wardrobe. Stop by maccarose.com for more on fashion.

Accessorize and Feel Renewed

February 5, 2020 by Macca Edwards Leave a Comment

This time of year is always a bit funky. It’s not spring, but most of us are starting to feel ready for warmer days and fewer winter layers. It’s not quite time to switch out our winter wear, so to change things up, have some fun with your accessories! It’s a great way to feel renewed with your style. It doesn’t take a ton of effort, but it packs a big punch! The same outfit suddenly feels brand new with the addition of a hat, scarf, or hair accessory.

Let’s face it, we’ve spent all of our money on the holidays; investing in new pieces for our wardrobe might not be feasible—not for our bank accounts or just for our brain capacity. Still, it does feel nice to feel fresh and start our day feeling confident in our clothes. With that said, it can be done inexpensively if new items are needed. Or it’s just time to raid our own closets and get creative with the accessories we already have!

Hats are a great way to make a statement. Add a fedora to a classic look—white tee, cropped jeans, a moto jacket, and booties. Something you’ve worn a ton, now feels new! Wear your slip dress, oversized sweater, boots, and a beanie for a funky flare to an otherwise feminine look. Opt for wearing a baseball hat on the day you’re wearing a pair of skinny jeans, knee-high boots, and a cropped pullover sweater. Add a pair of hoop earrings for a finishing touch. Hats are a great way to change things up. I love wearing them with something unexpected. But, of course, wear each in a more traditional sense and it’s still a great way to spice up an outfit.

Hair accessories are super trendy right now. Large barrettes are such a fun way to add some visual interest to your hair. Maybe you don’t have time to curl it but want it to look like you put some effort in. Add a pearl barrette (or a few) and voila! Suddenly, your hair has taken on a new look. The options for barrettes are endless right now. Trends won’t stick around forever, so be sure to have fun with it while it lasts. You can bet I have been taking part. Large headbands are another way to have some fun! It’s super simple and again, makes a great statement. Amazon is a great spot to find all these trendy items without breaking the bank.

Scarves are another way to keep things interesting. Not only do they serve as a cute accessory but, for these cold months, they’re practical, adding warmth to an outfit. Wearing color is also a great way to feel refreshed and/or get ya’ out of the winter slump. Add a bold color or printed scarf to your look for outfit revitalization. The options for style of scarf are endless too. Chunky knits, handkerchief, infinity, etc. Fabric options are endless as well. Tie a handkerchief style scarf around your neck with a blazer, tee, and boyfriend jeans. Add a chunky knit to a tunic, denim jacket, and leggings. Have fun with it! Most importantly wear what makes you feel good in your skin.

There are tons of ways to accessorize. It doesn’t stop with hats, hair accessories, and scarves. Bags, jewelry, lipstick, and belts are a few ways to continue to change things up. Explore your closet and think outside the box. Life’s too short after all! Why not try something new?

Cropped Denim for Winter

December 31, 2019 by Macca Edwards Leave a Comment

Gone are the days when cropped denim is meant for warmer months. Cropped denim for winter is a great way to showcase some fun shoes. These stylish jeans are perfect for all the fun winter shoes. With so many styles to choose from in cropped denim, you’ll look great all season long. There’s flare, raw hem, and classic hem, not to mention the variety of washes and color options. This winter, invest in a pair you love and rock em’! The best part is you can rock them all year long. Once winter is over, wear them for spring, summer, and fall too!

So, let’s talk shoes with cropped denim. I don’t know about you but during the cold winter months I’ve got to wear some sort of sock on my feet—whether toe socks with sneakers, ankle socks with booties, or mid-calf cozy socks with rain boots. Socks are a must for overall warmth. Closed-toe shoes and socks are totally manageable and work great with cropped denim.

On rainy days, opt for a pair of short rain boots. These are perfect for rain and all the puddles. No worrying about your pants getting wet in the puddles and the cropped length hits perfectly next to the short boots. Cropped denim is also great because it allows for the rain boots without long jeans getting crumpled when attempting to tuck them into the boots. I like to wear printed cozy socks with my rain boots. This helps keep my ankles warm and the peek-a-boo sock looks cute between the jeans and rain boots. Just be sure to keep it in coordination with your upper half. I usually opt for patterned cozy socks when I’m keeping it super casual on the top half.

Side note (rant): One of the worst things is trying to tuck jeans into a boot that just doesn’t fit. Cropped denim and short rain boots solve this problem. This duo is also great because if you wear tall rain boots it means you’re confined to wearing skinny jeans or leggings. Tucking pants that aren’t fitted is a “no go,” so just don’t do it. Don’t try to overlap the pants and tuck them in socks or whatever the remedy for tucking jeans might be. If they don’t lay flat inside the boot with ease, the jeans should not be worn with the boots.

Next, wear your cropped denim with leather or suede booties. Booties dress up denim perfectly. Whether your cropped denim is flared, a raw hem, or a classic hem, booties are great. Mixing casual denim, such as the raw hem, makes for awesome visual interest. If your cropped denim happens to lay over the top of the bootie, just tuck one side in to help show off the bootie. I like to tuck the hem to the inside of my bootie and leave the outer side hem un-tucked.

Lastly, wear your cropped denim with sneakers. Whether you have slip on sneakers, tie up sneakers, or high-top sneakers; all options work. They are also a great option for rain or light snow. Your jeans stay dry because they’re basically high waiters and always ready for a flood! Hehe! Slip-on sneakers are easier to dress up. I like to wear slip-ons with a blouse and cardigan for the perfect mix of dressy and casual. Lace-up sneakers are great for wearing with a tee, sweatshirt, or pullover sweater.

Let’s Start Flannel-ing Around!

December 5, 2019 by Macca Edwards Leave a Comment

A flannel shirt is a great piece to have during the fall and winter months. It’s awesome worn casually or dressed up, and looks great on its own or layered. But, wearing with a pair of jeans and sneakers is predictable. Why not mix it up and have some fun! Try new things! Plus, there’s still so much time to wear a flannel. So, let’s talk the style options. Let’s freshen up the way we wear our flannels this winter…

Wear your flannel oversized.

Choose an oversized flannel and wear with leggings, lace up sneakers, and a graphic tee. This is great for keeping it super casual. The flannel acts as an overlay and covers the behind which is appropriate for when wearing leggings. This style is perfect for everyday wear. It looks put together with little effort. Head out the door looking casual chic and grab your leather tote on your way out!

Wear your flannel around your waist.

This one I recently tried. I felt so nervous…thinking am I cool enough to wear it around my waist? But honestly it was so much fun! Trying new things with your style is way more fun than keeping it the same because you’re too nervous. If you want to give it a go, then you should! If anything, someone is looking at you going, wow! She looks so cute and I now want to try that with my style. Wear it around your waist with cropped denim, lace up booties, a classic v-neck tee, and leather backpack. Sometimes matching shoes and bags is fun and sometimes it’s even more fun to not match! Give it a go and wear brown booties and a black bag, or vice versa.

Wear your flannel with a pleated skirt.

Skip the jeans and pair your flannel with a pleated skirt. The pleats give body to the lower half and is more likely to allow for the flannel to tuck well underneath. If your skirt is a midi-length then I feel it is okay to skip tights. With this look, a fitted flannel is the way to go. Another way to style is to do a half tuck. Button down the flannel leaving two or three buttons undone and tuck one side of the flannel into the skirt. Leaving one side out as well as the entire back of the top out. Finish the look with a pair of snakeskin pumps and a crossbody clutch. The snakeskin print adds another dimension for super sassy style!

Gifty Gift Ideas

November 13, 2019 by Macca Edwards Leave a Comment

Happy November, friends! The holidays are upon us, and it’s a great time to start thinking about gifts for your loved ones. Sometimes it can be hard to think of unique gifts or gifts you’ve never given before. But, as I think about the holidays and what a gift means, it’s really just about showing someone that you thought of them. It shouldn’t matter the price tag or the fact that it’s unique. It truly is the thought that counts, as cliché as that sounds. While I am sure many, if not all, of these gifts, have been given or received many times over, they are great items. Here’s why:

Let’s start with gifts for women. Cozy pajamas or lounge-wear is perfect for this time of year. It’s the time when people want to curl up on the couch, read a book, or watch a holiday movie. The weather is chilly and cozy clothes typically tickle everyone’s fancy. This holiday season, gift a flannel pajama set or lounge set. Sets are great because it’s a complete look! There’s no deciphering which top or bottom to wear with a pair; it’s decided for you. Who doesn’t love easy dressing? Plus, feeling put together, even in lounge-wear, feels good! If the gal you know loves the holidays, go with a holiday print, like the red and green trees, or opt for year-round wear with a neutral color and print.

Next, we have this amazing scarf. Scarves are one size fits all. No guessing the size. Plus, this one is simply divine. The color options are great and it’s a fabulous layering piece. Wear it over a winter coat or even wear at home for some extra warmth in those Christmas themed jammies.

While we’re on the lounge kick…gift your loved one a pair of UGG slippers. The price tag is a bit of an investment, but the wear on these make it all worth it! They last forever. Plus, if you’re like me, I rarely decide I am going to gift myself something like slippers. It’s nice to give someone something you know they wouldn’t purchase for themselves, but probably would like to have!

This one is a trendy piece. Teddy Bear coats have been a popular item for a few seasons now. They’re still going strong and are just so much fun! Plus, there are great options for varying price points. This one is just under $100. However, there are lots of options on Amazon, all below $40. Again, with the cozy pieces for winter. Along with that, it adds great texture to an outfit. It’s a piece that pairs well with every single color and can be dressed up or down. If someone you know loves trendy pieces, this one is a great addition to their closet.

Lastly, this one is something like a stocking stuffer or small but thoughtful gift to a coworker, teacher, etc. Kiehl’s is a great skincare brand and makes an awesome creamy lotion/lip balm—the kind that is so needed during the months when hands are dry and lips are chapped. Plus, holiday packaging is everything! This totally takes a simple essential and adds some pizazz, making it a great holiday gift set!

Okay, now for the gentlemen in your life! This one is a basic. A button Henley is a great piece for every man’s closet. It can be super casual with a pair of jeans and sneakers, or it can be dressed up with a pair of dark jeans, sport coat, and cognac loafers (cognac brown shoes are my preference for when mixing dressy with casual styles). These tees are the perfect happy medium for style. They’re casual by nature but lend themselves to a more sophisticated casual feel. A staple for any man’s closet.

Let’s talk electronics. Most men are into electronics, right? This one is cool! It’s a cordless/portable speaker. This gadget is sure to be a winner. Bring it to the beach while on vacation, out camping, or just in your backyard while barbequing during the summer months. Another great time to use it is during football season. Pull out the speaker and use Bluetooth to connect to your phone while tailgating before the game!

The last two are more basic, great stocking stuffers. Again, we’re talking Kiehl’s. This one is a gift set that comes wrapped with holiday cheer! I know the man in my life doesn’t always take skincare as a serious matter, but women are not the only ones who should be investing in their skin. This is a great little kit to try out Kiehl’s and see if it’s the right fit for the man in your life. Also, it’s great for travel. Get your guy started on happy skin with a simple yet effective skincare routine.

This one is a favorite. Jason Mark is an awesome shoe cleaner. Comes with a little brush for buffing your shoes, and the treatment truly gets the stains out. We use it in our home and love it. Throw this little gem in his stocking for something simple, yet super effective.

Lastly, this gift option is fantastic for a joint gift. Glassy Baby creates the most beautiful hand-blown glass drinkers. Each one has a fun name too! Gifts like these are great because you can personalize it by picking the color/name in correlation with the person you’re gifting it to. Let’s say you’re gifting the glass to your father and he is a grandparent. The one titled “papa” is perfect for him. Or you know someone who loves the beach; snag them “seabreeze” as a fun way to show how you know them so very well. These drinkers can be gifted as a set for a couple’s gift or gift one and start a new collection for someone in your life.

I hope these gift ideas spark some excitement for you and the special people in your life. Stop by maccarose.com for links to shop these items. Happy holidays, dear ones!

Let’s Style You with Millie and Main!

October 13, 2019 by Macca Edwards Leave a Comment

Do you ever find yourself staring at your closet full of clothes feeling like you have nothing to wear? This is a common issue for so many women. Shopping to create complete looks for any occasion can be difficult. Women tend to end up with a closet full of tops and very few bottoms and/or pieces to complete an outfit. After all, it’s easy to walk into a store, see a top you like, and perhaps purchase it without even trying it on. Pieces that complete a look, like pants, a skirt, overlays, shoes, or accessories, take more work. It takes time to consider what you’ll pair the items with—time that gets pushed to the side.
