New To You Fashion News

authored by Jewel Mootz

 

Hi all,  I’m Jewel and have been part of the New to You fam for almost a year and a half. Here at New to You, one of my favorite things is that above all we care about quality and uniqueness in the pieces we take. Recently I went on a girl's trip to NYC and while there were many highlights this experience stood out. These pieces push the boundary of what we think is possible to wear and show that fashion is fun and all about experimentation and finding your own unique look.   Let’s walk through some of my personal highlights and learn a bit about the Costume Institute. 

The Met Gala, held by the Met’s Costume Institute the first Monday in May, draws eyes from around the world to criticize or praise elites from all facets of high society on their outfits and aesthetic choices. Does their ensemble fit the theme? Who are they wearing and why? All this discourse floods the internet for weeks to come, but what happens inside? The Met Gala is famously known for keeping the main event private, but what we do know is that the guests get a first look at the costume institute’s new exhibit. 

This year's offering titled Sleeping Beauties : Reawakening Fashion explores pieces spanning hundreds of years that can no longer be worn, touched, or even put onto mannequins. The exhibit seeks to revive these pieces by using the five senses.  Nature motifs are highlighted and used to separate the different collections, some examples include “Dior’s Garden” which explored Dior’s fascination with florals and impressionism and Iris Van Herpen’s collection of aquatic inspired pieces found in Marine Life. Music, Visual aids, Smell displays, and Touch panels were used by curators to truly immerse viewers in the world of these sleeping beauties. 

Here are some highlights of the exhibit

 

As the winter frost begins to thaw and signs of spring start to bloom, it's time to breathe new life into your wardrobe with sustainable style. At New to You, we're passionate about offering a curated selection of pre-loved fashion finds that not only elevate your look but also support environmentally friendly practices. Join us as we explore how you can seamlessly transition from winter to spring with our chic and eco-conscious offerings!

My favorite thing about winter is that I get to wear layers of clothing. The challenge for me is how to keep warm without adding a lot of bulk to my frame. 

I have found that ultra thin tank tops are the trick to staying toasty. I usually will wear three at a time which may sound crazy but when the tops are tissue thin they layer beautifully and trap the warmth.

I see some people walking about with shorts, a tee shirt, with a light jacket and that's it!  I don't know how they do it - I would be miserable, for sure.

Of course, I don't stop there, I have to keep adding more items to keep warm. So once I have the tank tops, I reach for a long sleeved top or thin sweater, throw a cardigan or a blazer on top of that and I am ready to venture out into the cold.
