We Can Do It!

We Can Do It!

So first and foremost Happy International Women's Day! I don't usually do themed outfits because they can be a bit "costumey" but I knew I had to do something for a day celebrating women of every shape, size, religion, ethnicity, color, preference and beliefs. There are many inspiring women who have lived and are living but I thought I'd channel my inner Rosie the Riveter today.

There are many women through out the years who have changed the face of the world as we know it, sadly many of these women are overlooked or even left out of the history books. There are many women I look up to because let's face it women sort of rock don't they? I thought I'd channel my inner Rosie because when I was in high school seeing her promotional ad in my textbook really surprised me. Everyone always talks about the wars and the sacrifices made by men while the women stayed at home, but here even if in just a tiny corner was a whole paragraph about the women of the war. It was around that time I began to have a real interest in era's gone by and the 40's-50's have a very special place in my heart. I knew I had to dress up as an icon for International Women's Day but I decided instead of a real person why not dress up as an image that brought women to the forefront of history.
