<a href="http://imgur.com/DITfoEC"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/DITfoEC.jpg?1" title="Hosted by imgur.com" /></a>Lately, my little sister Ashley and I have been obsessed with the ocean. On Sunday, we went to Laguna to get some Starbucks, nap in the sun, and people watch. Although we live 20 minutes from the coast, trips to the beach have become a nearly daily occurrence, as we both see it as somewhat therapeutic. The beach is a place where we can go and sit on the soft sand and stare at the ocean as the waves come in and out and in and out and in and out and neither of us cares if we even say a word to each other. But, since I seem to have a camera permanently attached to my hand thee days..our beach sessions usually just turns into a photo shoot. I mean...duh.</div>

Lately I have been into the idea of putting a militant spin on what would otherwise be a casual ensemble. Obviously I'm not your run-of-the-mill street style soldier...that's why I'm sportin' my blinged out general's jacket. Red booties add a commie twist and a camo tee pulls the look together. All paired with denim cut-offs because I mean, shit, I'm a fashion blogger aren't I? </div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To be completely, 100% honest with you (all 14 of ‘you’ reading this), when I started this blog 1.5 years ago I had assumed that by now I would have achieved some sort of fashion blogger stardom...but things didn’t pan out that way. Whatever…#fuggit. It’s kinda comical how we’re trained to live our life in a </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">neverending</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> state of thinking about “our future”. But I </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">suck </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">at making ‘plans’, I would much rather just deal with life as it’s coming at me, with no expectations of what I’m supposed to be doing and no picture in my head of what my life should look like. Have you noticed that it doesn’t really matter what kind of “plan” we have mapped out for our future anyways? Life continues to unfold in ways we never could have expected. </span></div>

After Chelsea left I had to ask myself, “Self, should you continue to blog? Why?” And here’s what I came up with: I will continue to blog with no expectations as to what ‘kind’ of blog this is or where it’s heading. I will blog for the following reasons: I love to write, I love sharing my photography, I love showing off my vintage duds, and I looooooove shootin the shit with people about fashion and the role it plays in our life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">You know how on December 26th you wake up feeling kinda depressed that Christmas is over? Like, how it kind of lingers and you sorta pretend it’s still there and it still feels like Christmas time but...it’s not. It’s gone and that’s just that. Well that’s how I felt after Chelsea moved last Wednesday. Yes...Chelsea has gone off to live on her own in the lil college town of Chico, 8 hours north of The Bubble, drop-dead in the middle of nowhere. So proud of that lil chica, albeit no less depressed that my PIC is gone. Meanwhile, that very same week I started a fancy new job as “Social Media Specialist” for an OC based fashion brand... #ExecutiveRealness. So, Chels is off to college to get more knowledge and I’m starting my climb up the corporate ladder. Times they are a changin’- and I guess that means the blog will be a changin’ too. Consistency is something that this blog never has, and never will stand for! </span></div>

This is one of those outfits in which I felt like I needed to text Britt before she saw me, to give her ample warning. “I may or may not be wearing a belly chain right now...” I told her. No response. TYPICAL.
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“OH. MY. GAWD...where did you get that belly chain?!” she exclaimed/questioned upon seeing me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Dude, I made it,” I told her, “Is it like, way too much?” I asked, gesturing that I felt a bit over-exposed.
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“NO WAY,” she quipped back, “Didn’t you see that Rihanna was recently running around town in a mesh tee with her nips out?” So remember ladies, if you’re ever asking yourself whether or not your ensemble is too racy, too sexy, etc...exposed nippes are now apparently now the norm...in addition to casual gold belly chains ;) </div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Goddamn...I looooove me a lil shift dress. I picked up this bandana-printed number at the Pile Sale and chopped off 5 inches from the hemline- it was bordering on MuuMuu territory. Finally, I found the perfect occasion to debut it in all it’s glory; the County Fair! Let me clarify- this is the </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Orange County</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> fair, where you’ll find Bentleys, Phantoms, and Range Rovers sprinkled amongst the out-of-towners old Ford pick-up trucks. It is a truly glorious affair, where inlander’s and OC folk alike can bond over a mutual love of culinary delicacies such as deep-fried oreos and Krispy Kreme sloppy joes. No one would have guessed that I was an OC native; my bandana dress and cowgirl hat gave me maaaaajor country cred. I was serving true cowgirl realness amongst the hoards of OC teeny boppers costumed in studded denim cut-offs, Brandy Melville American Flag crop-tops and aviator sunnies. Although allllll of us OC girls could totally bond over the fact that we are not accustomed to country rituals such as a 'rodeo' and they are like, really, really mean those bulls. Maybe if you treated them with a lil more respect and kindness they wouldn’t be trying so hard to get you off their back, ya know? And then you would be the winner. BOOM.</span></div>

This online quiz thing once told me I was a “Visual Thinker”... #OMG #SoTrue. So, I recently ended up in a Google black-hole exploring the work of Martha Rosler, an artist who primarily uses collage as her medium of choice. I was particularly interested in her most recent body of work, which incorporates images from modern fashion magazines within each piece. When someone decides to mix fashion within another medium, I totally geek out.</span></span></div>

We are also a generation that has been equally as inundated with glossy fashion advertising. Separately, neither of these images get a rise out of us. We are desensitized to the violence of war just as we are desensitized to the facade of advertising. We have an equal familiarity with both. Rosler’s work forces us to confront this, and makes us think about the way the we process media today. Thoughts my fellow fashion lovers?

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I went to the mall the other day. Srsly, the mall has nothing to offer me anymore. Has anyone noticed how all the stores merchandise sort of blends together now? Everyone sells the same shit, by the HUNDREDS of units. And I mean like, high-end, mid-level, big-box, fast-fashion...it’s ALL a big circle jerk of knock-offs and copy-cats. Nothing feels “special” anymore, ya know? Guess that’s why over the years I morphed into a ride-or-die secondhand, thrift, and vintage Queen. At this point, my wardrobe mainly consists of people’s castoffs...which is really just a fancy word for trash. I wear people’s trash. And yet hanging in my closet are silks, velvets, cashmeres, and furs a plenty. I sometimes get a bad rap for being “cheap”...and ok fine, I am. But I looooooooove luxury, and secondhand is the </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">only</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> way I can obtain my own version of “luxury” within my wardrobe, so to speak. It’s like Alber Elbaz said to WWD in April 2013, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“I think that luxury is at a turning point. For me, luxury is authentic; it has to be special and unique. The moment everybody has it, it’s no longer a luxury. It may be expensive but not luxury, so I think it has to be special enough to be really luxury." WERD UP, HOMIE.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So Chels and I were cruisin' the boulevard on Friday night when we stopped off to pick up our gurl Maddy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"OMFG," Chelsea exclaimed as she climbed into the car, "Do you have cornrows?!" </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">She did. And we were obsessed. I couldn't stop day-dreaming about the micro braids...why can't I be that fly? When all of the sudden the McQ Fall ad campaign debuted yesterday and low and behold- the models were cornrowed and looking fiiiiiierce. You know I can't resist a ghetto-fab trend. Might have to head up to Compton to try this style out for myself ;) </span></div>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-534963c2-115e-6b21-e6c0-837b6b3207d3"><span style="font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am still stuck in the 90’s. But don’t worry, I’m not gonna go off on some anti-consumerism, grunge-fueled rant again. (At least not today anyways...) For now, I’m into this sort of 90’s Britpop, “Party Girl” thing; she’s galavanting about town in a D&G leopard print nightgown, a slinky Gucci dress, or a lil gold, sparkly Versace number. (All of which could have just as easily come from the thrift shop...DUH.) I came across a vintage editorial that perfectly encapsulates this girl and her world, shot by the OG of that 90’s “sex sells” aesthetic, Mario Testino. The year is 1998. The scene: a house party at some DJ’s messy loft in Manchester, post Oasis concert. The vibes: Grunge infused with a heavy dose of glamour. Think lush velvets in deeply saturated hues, richly vibrant silks, furs on furs on furs, and over-the-top blinged out accessories- more is most definitely more for this chick. Why didn’t the house parties I attended EVER look like this?! I really wish my generation would put a LITTLE more effort into looking chic...</span></span></span></div>

Believe it or not, I'm not much of a sports fan. The only sport I play is yoga...and I don't even think that is considered a sport as much as it's like, meditation or something. Chelsea <i>can</i> throw a perfect spiraling football, which is about the extent of her athletic abilities. We do, however, loooooooove attending sporting events for the following reasons: </div>

Last night we went to an Angel's game- all 4 of us Fowler sisters. (Did you know that I have 2 more younger sisters, who are equally as crazy and vivacious and fabulous? True story.) I have no clue what team they played against and no clue who won, but I do know that we had a fabulous time and looked really cute doing so. Attached is the photographic evidence: </div>

I’m not quite the encyclopedia of designers/models/photographers/power players that Britt is; really I’m just your average enthusiast (and relatively new one at that). However, I have picked up a few truth bombs along the way. Today’s lesson: Embrace the change. Fashion is an industry that is </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">completely</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> dependent on change. If you are not open to accepting this, then you will fall behind. Fashion IS change. In today’s world, the changes are happening at lightning speed. In order to stay relevant/fresh/trendy/up-to-the-minute/etc you MUST wholeheartedly accept that what you LOVE one day you will hate the next, and what you HATE one day you will eventually come to love. If you begin to see these changes as a threat, or you greet them with hostility, then you have become stuck. You must not resist the change, jump in and swim in it. Recognize that you also have the power to be the change. You do not have to live at the mercy of trends. Be the change you wish to see in fashion! Fashion = Change and You = Change. Therefore, You = Fashion. </span></span></div>

Summertime and the living’s easy. Beach all day, party all night...living the dream. My final countdown is on; only 20 days until I pack up and go to college to get more knowledge. I will be heading off to Cal State Chico, which is essentially in the middle of freaking nowhere up in northern California. Britt and I used to live just 15 minutes apart...and now we’re gonna be about 8 hours apart. Ch-ch-changes. And yeah, I’m starting to freak out a little bit. I also have to edit down my wardrobe like, majorly. Closet space in the new room is limited; these Chico homes just don’t offer the same closet space as my McMansion! I’m being highly selective, which is actually kinda nice. I can only take pieces that serve more than one purpose, that can mix and match and be worn several different ways. Really makes a girl ponder what’s important...ya know? Right now I’m too busy spending every last moment with my fave SoCal friends and family to think too hard about what I’m wearing. It’s been a rotation of graphic tees and minis all Summer long. Cozy and comfortable to calm my nerves. </div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Last night Chelsea and I set out on (what was supposed to be) a grand adventure to an abandoned house in da LBC with an empty pool in the backyard where we were hoping to run into some skater bois to shoot around with. Unfortunately, the grand adventure consisted of us meandering the streets of suburbia, aimlessly searching for “The Pink House” that we were ultimately unable to locate and has left both of us with an unscratched itch to go exploring that we <i>must</i> satisfy on some grand adventure this weekend.</span></span><br />

I was that friend with a thirst for adventure and nothing thrilled me more than the risk of getting in trouble. Every Summer me and my gal pals would venture over to our empty Elementary School (where my Mother worked as a teacher, mind you...) and climb up onto the roof. That was our spot; pretty sure at some point we even had lawn chairs up there. We had loads of fun making our friendship bracelets and shouting "get down!" everytime we thought a neighbor from across the street was onto us. When I was 10, I had a massive crush on my neighbor, a big, bad 8th grader at the time. I insisted to my girlfriends that I needed to acquire a pair of his underwear, as proof of my undying love. Like any normal 10 year old girl with a crush, I waited until they were gone, broke into their house via a cracked window, marched upstairs and stole a pair of his whitey tighties right out of his dresser drawer. Wait, what? Breaking and entering is NOT normal behavior for a child, you say? DGAF... I never was cut out for “normal”, anyways ;)</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></span><br />

Your life literally slows down. You stop wishing for the weekend. You stop merely looking forward to special events. You begin to live in each moment and you start feeling like a human being. You just ride the wave that is life, with this feeling of contentment and joy. You move fluidly, steadily, calm and grateful. A veil is lifted, and a whole new perspective is born."</span></span><br />

I took a week long Summer staycation so my wardrobe basically consisted of two outfits: my bikini and my PJ’s. On rotation. And yes- It was just as magical as it sounds. As you can see, I’m still in my ‘romantic period’; lace, silks, and florals galore. My obsession with red footwear has not waned, but alas- I have acquired a new pair! OK fine, Chelsea acquired this particular pair on a recent trip to le Goodwill and I promptly “borrowed” them. I swear my wardrobe will be cut in half when she moves away...</span></span></span></div>

It seems that the two gender extremes are ingrained into our consciousness from an early age. To clarify, when I speak of gender, I am not just talking like, penis vs. vagina. I am referring to the mental and behavioral characteristics that make up our gender identity. And in discovering our gender identity, we have two (socially acceptable) choices: Male or Female. </span></span></div>

Women however, cannot. Women can wear dresses and skirts. Men however, cannot. Women are expected to wear cosmetics on the daily. Men however, cannot. Though these example are only a few, and oversimplified at that, I think you get the picture. </span></span></div>

From time to time, I rather enjoy dressing up as that femmy-femme, bombshell of a woman. I also find it super sexy when men go for that uber-butch, man’s man, John Wayne kinda aesthetic. It’s just that, we consider these “social norms” to be “rules”. And we do not like rules. In fashion, rules are good for one thing, and one thing only: breaking. </span></span></div>

So...Vegas totally kicked our ass in the BEST way. We really had a grand old time. We had SO much fun, in fact, that yesterday AM we couldn’t even bring ourselves to tend to our blog...we woke up, threw on our bikinis and headed straight to the beach for some R & R and Taco Loco grub. (Ok, and a bloggy photoshoot. You know how we do.) </div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-63f6f106-862d-63bb-b1cd-9b72c33bf1be"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Once upon a time, believe it or not, I was a not-so-fashionable, pre-pubescent middle schooler. Sure, I </span><span style="font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">thought</span><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I cared about fashion, but to a middle schooler, fashion simply means wearing what has been widely accepted by your peers as “cool”. And sure, I was cool. And the cool kid uniform circa 2006 consisted of the following: A shredded denim loin cloth AKA miniskirt from Hollister or Abercrombie and Fitch; a crisp white, jersey stretch, scoop neck tee (sorry...I just vomited in my mouth) paired with your pushiest of push-up bras to show off those burgeoning assets of yours; and the cherry on top...UGG BOOTS. As embarrassed as I am to admit it; this was my style ID in middle school. (Hey- we can’t all be Tavi.) Of course, this is a combination I have vowed over and over that I would never wear again...never, ever, EVER!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="vertical-align: baseline;">Until today. You see, I am </span><span style="font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline;">much </span><span style="vertical-align: baseline;">older and wiser now and have learned that in fashion, one should NEVER say never. Why limit yourself? Why shut yourself out to future possibilities based on one youth-fueled style blunder? And so, I decided to give my middle school uniform another chance. But could I really take an ensemble completely devoid of <i>any</i> redeeming fashion value and make it...<i>chic</i>? Ummmm...duh. Today I present to you my once embarrassing middle school ensemble as interpreted through my much chicer and more sartorially-savvy point of view. You should try it, it’s fun.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span>Thrifted...everything. (Love when that happens. I feel like a champ.)</span><br />

But as you know, I don't fight these feelings. And thus, Cinco de Mayo top was acquired.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So, is it just me, or is fashion kinda a free-for-all right now? What’s in? What’s out? Does anything go?! (Like Cinco de Mayo in June...) Does it simply take the right person to make something “cool” or even spark an entire trend? Cause it’s kinda starting to feel that way...no?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I often ponder what “fashion historians” will say about fashion, trends and what people wore in and around the year 2013. What exactly is this time period’s quintessential style or ‘uniform’? Looks like at this point I’ve got all the questions but no answers...just the way I like it.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PS- Sorry I’m not sorry that I wear these red boots every damn day. I don’t have a different pair of shoes for every outfit! Plus, these booties are comfortable so I can dick around in them all day and my feet won’t hate me. Moral of the story: Everyday red booties are a closet necessity and you need to buy them like, yesterday. <--- Hey look I told you what to buy! Looks like I'm getting the hang of this whole fashion blogging thing, after all ;)</span></span><br />

<h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small; font-weight: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small; font-weight: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sometimes, fashion is uncomfortable. And still, some days I wake up and say to myself, “Self, today I will not be very comfortable. But I will. be. <i>fierce.</i>” Case in point: an off the shoulder top. Not exactly our most practical of fashion endeavors, eh? But after seeing Man Repeller <a href="http://www.manrepeller.com/2013/06/on-denim-cut-offs.html">rock da shit outta hers</a>, and finding it’s $3 counterpart the very same day, I knew that the “pain” (so to speak) would be worth the “gain”. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small; font-weight: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;">But what is there to “gain” from wearing a top that needs adjusting every 10 minutes? Am I just “peacocking”? Some of the most coveted, loved, and adored pieces in my closet are just straight up impractical. But I do not see their impracticality as a burden, it is simply a reminder of their specialness. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">When I wear them I feel like their specialness rubs off on me; you can’t help but feel like a million bucks in something so fiercely fashionable. Even when our physical body does disagree...you know that alllllll day my upper arms were like, “Gurl, you reallyyyyyyy expect that elastic to keep dis shit in place?! Puh-lease.” I don’t care- I love it. Plus, it’s kinda fun and flirty (in a coquettish sorta way) to exchange a quick glance with the hottie behind you as you adjust the sleeve that has slooooowly been falling further and further down your left shoulder ;) </span><br />

Can you tell? Ya know...sometimes you just gotta dress like a hippie. And a sunny Sunday at the beach is really just the perfect excuse. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The hippie culture is such a novelty nowadays, isn’t it? Long (salon highlighted) hair, don’t care? You’re a hippie! Sportin’ a plastic flower crown? You’re a hippie, too! But the pinnacle of hippie commercialization has got to be Free People. Suddenly being a “hippie” isn’t a social/political/cultural movement concerned with materialism, commercialization, etc; it just means you’re a Free People customer. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Ok ok, full disclosure: Free People has got some cute ass clothes. Like, if they appeared in my closet right now I would totes wear them. In fact, a couple months ago, I splurged (JK, my Grandma bought them for me) on some polka dot skinny jeans from Free People...only to put them on this morning, attempt to hike them up by the belt loops, and have these pants completely torn to shreds. They are officially unwearable. I’m like bitch, you don’t see that happening with my $4, 30-year old Levi’s! Okay so you actually DO see that happening...but THAT shredding is artfully done, and in like, totally strategic locations! Anyways...so to add salt to the wound, after I threw my torn pants to the ground in a fit of rage, I glanced down to see “MADE IN CHINA” tag glaring back at me. Turns out the hippie ideal of ‘free people’ isn’t actually important to Free People...</span></span></div>
