So, sitting in my 90 minute Journalism class, I had an extremely significant amount of free time (and by significant amount of free time I legitimately mean the entire period) of which I decided to spend working on my gorgeous blog and making connections to other blogs :) Lindsey Sandler's entire blog, for the most part, does connect in a way with my big question and not solely because both are about fashion moreover because of the issues. Lindsey said: "Women are being seen as independent and uninhibited by opinions of people in society. They can make choices on their own and by picking clothing once prohibited to them, they are making a stand proving that they do not need others deeming what is appropriate for them to wear and do." I agree wholeheartedly with her claim. In the early 1900s, clothing was very modest and the people were a bit uptight and prudish. As the decades progressed, women and people in general became more liberated in style as they became more liberated in speech. For example take a glance at the shift from the 20s/30s to the 1960s; the difference is unparalleled. The entire Woodstockesque generation was more open to new ideas, including new styles, with the advent of war, death, music, drugs, and protests and such. Each new generation seemed to come to adopt views in which they were more comfortable with themselves.The style these days reflects free values ad how people are louder and less submissive to higher authorities more than ever and also, by the more solid bright colors, how society in general has become more sleek and modern as a whole. Also, people are a bit more outgoing in general and more eager and willing to call attention to themselves because of their psychological emancipation.The following link leads to a New York Times article noting the shift in women's fashion from conservative to glittery and glitzy as a result of the suffrage movement.
