~ Hello Lovies ~
How are you!? I've missed chatting with you all! My schedule has been insane (like, Girl Interrupted insane) this past week. We're creeping up on the end of the school year, which means I've been tutoring non-stop. Work is never something to complain about (in my opinion) so I am grateful for the "busy-ness", but will be glad when I can get a breather and hang out with y'all more!
Anyways, this week is "All" about All The Above Clothing. All the Above Clothing "is dedicated to creating high - quality, stylishly inspired clothing that fosters self expression. [They] believe that fashion is one of the truest outlets for expressing oneself, and aim to deliver fashion with a deeper meaning."
So how does it work!?
Step 1)
Take an inspirational quote.
Step 2)
Build an abstract and cryptic design based on the quote.
Step 3)
Print the inspiration on the inside of the item
Unique and thought-provoking right!? They have so many amazing inspirations: wind, luck, puddles, rest, perfection, unanswered prayers, opportunity, Mother Theresa, etc... But the one that inspired me the most was "memories." Memories are very important to me, they are all I have of certain people & past relationships. So this shirt was designed with Maya Angelou's words in mind:
The back of the shirt is made up of antique news prints which represent old, forgotten stories that are "behind" us. And there is a cross on the heart which reminds the wearer where real memories last! Isn't that cool!? This company has really gone above (All the Above in fact) to not only use words & emotions to inspire them, but give us consumers products that mean something to us too. I love it and am so excited I got to feature them as my muse this week!! I had my memories shirt on the other day with flip flops and my jorts (so easy & comfy), but I've really been loving it over my work out clothes. It is open and breathable in the back to wear while I warm up/start my run, then comes off quickly & easily, and is great to throw back on over my sweaty tank post-workout to look cute again! Holla!
