Fashion Terms and Styles for Women’s Garments
Fashion Terms and Styles for Women’s Garments
I like knowing the specific word for a thing, so guides, dictionaries, and strange little encyclopedias have became my most trusted acquaintances. As much as I enjoy writing about fashion, I realize that I know too little about it. Maybe part of growing up is realizing that you know too little about all things. Or maybe too much about one thing. Hm. I only meant to post some fashion terms.

“We Rise Up” is Narrative Magazine’s Story of the Week
I am overjoyed and honored that my short story “We Rise Up” is Story of the Week in Narrative Magazine. This story is especially important to me– I’m grateful to be able to share it in one of my favorite magazines. So much love.
ETA: I feel like I should add that the Rromanes title, Opre Roma, translates to “we rise up.” Also, Narrative asks you to make an account to read it, but it’s free, and you aren’t obligated to sign up for any of their awesome emails.
