Mental Health and Fashion opinions with Quincy

The differences between Cultural Appreciation and Cultural Appropriation are very clear. Cultural appreciation is when a brand or a designer has an interest in something other cultures do or designs they have. That designer or brand takes time to educate themselves about what they have an interest in and show it the correct way, by advertising it with the people of the culture and so forth. Cultural appropriation is when a brand or designer steals designs from another culture without educating themselves beforehand. Those brands and designers disrespect a culture and the people of that culture. A brand that shows cultural appreciation is a luxury skin care brand that is owned by Ozohu Adoh called Epara. The brand came about because she suffered from persistent follicular eczema, and she started looking at the ingredients her African forbears used. She planned on having it as a commercially sold product but now it’s being sold in luxury stores. My opinion on the brand is that the

Everybody has their favorite type of shopping. When it comes to saving money and getting good quality pieces, thrifting might be the choice for you. Thrifting has many ways of shopping, such as going to vintage stores, second hand shops, and of course thrift shops. Thrift shopping is time consuming, and you may not be successful at the store you visit, but the satisfaction you get from finding the perfect piece of clothing is one of the best feelings. When it comes to thrifting, in my opinion there is one thing should look into before going thrifting. The main thing for me is to do research of the location of the store and the reviews. If the store is in a popular area, the store could be more saturated and there won’t be as much of a selection for your size, or the quality of the products may not be good. An example of a thrift store I wouldn’t recommend going to is 2nd Ave Thrift Superstores in Hamilton, New Jersey. The reason I say this is because it is very saturated with you

My favorite thing to do is workout and shop. Working out and shopping are my getaway from reality. Being in the gym and feeling the gains helps me tremendously become more confident in myself but it also helps me become less anxious. My anxiety can get bad sometimes so if I feel it getting worse I may bring myself to go workout or go to the nearest thrift store and shop. Shopping online or at a thrift store are my go to’s for shopping. I tend to stay away from retail stores and or malls because I never truly find anything I like and online the sales and discounts are the best. I have a dog, her name is Hazel Grace from the “Fault In Our Stars”. She is a german shepard, and she is so well behaved. She barks non-stop though, that’s her only downfall. In the future I want to have my own clothing brand where I am able to give an outlook on how I see fashion and become a really big designer like Virgil. When I think of fashion, I don’t think of what brand the piece of clothing is or ho

Hello my name is Quincy Osorio. I am a sophomore at RCBC and I wanted to create a blog where I post my opinion on some of the newer fashion trends, whether I see them on social media, or on an ad or magazine. I also want to share some things that may better your mental health, help you acknowledge if you or somebody around you has any mental health issues. Mental health is a very big importance to everyone's day to day life. Fashion has become a very big part of my life after highschool, I began to take pride in what I wear, how I present myself to the public and I fell in love with the many ways you can express yourself through fashion. Ever since I was a little kid my favorite thing to do was to go shopping. Now that I am able to drive myself places, I go almost every other day to the thrift stores that are local to me shopping for pieces of clothing I know I need in my closet. Shopping, searching for clothes brings a peace to me that I can’t find anywhere because the satis
