Some of you Rushers out there may come across this blog be asking: Why velvet? What's the story behind the name? And although the main reason might be because velvets pretty awesome, its the only thing we could come up with, and it sounded pretty cool; their is more behind the title then one might think. When you think about velvet some may think of the tacky 70s trend or that grotesque red velvet dress your mom made you wear at holiday party's when you were younger. But this fantastic material has evolved to become so much more. It has made a stellar come back as a sophisticated yet wearable trend that should be reintroduced to your closet. Whether its a velvet button down hunted down at your local thrift short or those sleek black velvet leggings spotted at h&m, this fabric is reappearing every where. Velvet is a daring trend to experiment with. It can be dressed up or grunged down. However, the average dresser isn't use to seeing this trend walk the suburban streets yet. You may get some eyebrows raised or some heads to turn but don't fret, soon we feel that velvet will become a staple that even the yoga pant sweatshirt girl may dream of trying.
In many ways velvet describes Morgz and I. Sometime we feel like the clown fish in a sea of minnows. We were enclosed in a school where a sense of style is scare and yoga pants are the new norm. We are in a sense are the velvet trend. We are the few that branch out from the poorly dressed and unstyled. We don't fear a new trend or to be different. We embrace are individuality and embrace a trend that is unappreciated. We are daring and don't fear the stares or the raised eyebrows. In the short sense we picked velvet because it describes our outward approach and thinking of style.
