We love our individual style whether we call it hippie, chic, rocker, conservative, edgy, sporty, casual, or preppy. Like it or not you have one, and your style is your own personal preference.

Happy Halloween my fellow style historians! I thought this would be the perfect time to share the story of the witches hat. Have you wondered where the witches hat originated from?

Old Stories claim witches were only meant for evil and the hat was used to intensify their scary appearance. Good thing it's all fiction.
