about the blog
 
One crisp fall day in 2000, my ninth grade history teacher–a transplant from the Deep South–declared he loved West Virginia for many reasons.  However, one of the reasons he loved the state so much was the fact “that West Virginia was ten years behind the rest of the nation, “so when the world comes to an end, West Virginia still has ten years!”  When it comes to style and fashion, what my teacher told me so many years is nothing but gospel. I’ve started this blog to help encourage West Virginia women (and men) to fight the Appalachian stereotype and look their stylish best.  No matter your budget, there’s no reason to not present yourself as best you can.  If we all work together, we can make ourselves as beautiful as the West Virginia hills in autumn.
