Becoming aware...

Growing up, you don’t think much about the chemical additives in the things you use every day for your beauty routine. Lotions, cleansers, shampoos and that sort of thing. Initially, you looked at the cost. Then you examined the claims. Over the years you try to find the ones that work the best for you without breaking your budget.

Fashion Fuss

Aren’t you glad I moved on to a new letter? Actually, I’m tail-gating piggy-backing on yesterday’s post: Clothing – Clothes?

I’ve never been one to follow fashion. In high school and my 20s-30s, it was mostly due to money. As I progressed in my career, I had to use my money wisely yet look professional. Tailored looks worked best. In my casual life during that time, I often adopted a fashion trend just as it was going out. Like bell bottoms and mini-skirts. I wore them, but the fashion industry had moved on.

Clothing – Clothes?

 

Did you know clothing is the clothes people wear? Huh, confusing, isn’t it. Then there is cloth like in facecloth or the cloth you buy to make clothing (or make clothes?). And we can’t forget closet, which has no connection with clothes/clothing. It came from the French word ‘closet’ for small enclosure.
