You hear the first cords of the song and your heart starts to race. Those words, “Let’s go girls.” Your head starts to bop, hips begin to swing - soon you are in full dance mode and singing around in your car or kitchen, “Man, I feel like a woman.”
Shania isn’t the only one who allows me to flashback in time. Music has an incredible way to just take you back to a time or place.
Music is life itself
When Brittany and I look through different items to bring to Simply Confident Clothing, we are not looking for latest style crazes or cheapest items. We are looking for items that we would love.
One graphic tee in particular stood out to me because when I saw it, I had instant nostalgia.
I thought about when I was a little girl singing in the kitchen with my mom as we baked cookies or dinner. It sounds like a silly memory but it was significant to me. My mom and I are close, and I think loving music is something we have in common. It fills our soul.
She used to have this old school stereo (still has it) in her bedroom, where she would listen to WIFC or listen to a favorite cassette tapes like Shaina Twain, Alanis Morissette, Celine Dion, Garth Brooks or Deana Carter. If you are a early '90s baby, I hope one of those names will stand out to you.
I know '90s fashion and trends are really in right now and I can see why. Bringing this "Let's Go Girls graphic tee" to Simply Confident was a must for me because it brings me back. I can look at it and just smile, thinking about dancing in the kitchen.
It's crazy how fast life goes by. Since I am a mom now, I get to make those amazing memories with my daughter. I know she is still going to listen to Shaina Twain, NSYNC, Garth and so many others. Just like my mom had me listen to The Beach Boys, taking her back to good memories in her life.
Selecting clothes that mean something
I know not every piece is going to be something you love, wear or purchase. However, I hope you know that we do take time picking them out. These clothes mean something to us, and we are constantly learning. Sometimes we do not pick something that is right or what we expected, but we take pride in giving you quality clothes and accessories.
We also take time to listen to what you want. We try to do "this and that" picks on our Instagram or VIP Facebook group. If you haven't already, please follow or join our group. Additionally, we might just reach out to you to find out different styles or what works for certain body types. Your feedback will only make us a better online store and provide a better experience for you.
We really appreciate your support and love. I hope today you turn on some "old" music and take yourself back to a time when you felt amazing!
Stay simply confident,
Kayla
