In the hopes of sparking some conversation about this post I asked my husband the same question Chico’s is asking: “When did you first fall in love with fashion?” His answer: “When you first made me watch America’s Next Top Model.” Touche, Shopping Dada, touche.
But, seriously, if you look at me today dressed in torn jeans and an old Ohio State tee shirt, you would certainly question my love of fashion. But, back in the day, I knew a thing or two and actually made an effort. I think I really fell in love with fashion in high school. I worked at a small mom and pop grocery store – the best job ever because my good friends worked there, too (including Monica who has helped with reviews recently). Anyway, when it wasn’t busy at the store I would read fashion magazines cover to cover. I read and studied Vogue and Glamour and Allure so much that upon seeing a dress on a celebrity or cover I knew immediately who designed it. That may not be that impressive, but considering I was a 16 year old in Ohio I think it’s cool. And I certainly can’t do that now. (Unless we’re talking kiddie fashion and then I can spot Tea, Gymbo or Janie and Jack a mile away.)
