It's interesting how fashion trends return. Distressing jeans and long flowy skirts were in back then, only to return to them years later. The issue I find is outside of jeans, it's been difficult to find other apparel that matches my current eclectic, bohemian style. You know, a little rock and a little hip hop with my neo soul. While what I saw very pretty, it was also very vanilla for my taste. Sure, I’d spend a few hours a week digging through the racks at my favorite thrift store, but no one sold the clothes that perfectly suited me. Searching the racks and going home in frustration birthed something else.
I was also beginning to search things out and grow spiritually away from the Southern Baptist roots that questions nothing into seeing God globally, in every nation, in science, in the Earth, in nature, and connecting to the spirit beings that we are.
