BeauCoo: A Different Kind Of Online Community

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/bc1_zpsccb3a659.png" /><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">When I first started an "online presence" personal style blogging was a relatively new thing and most people who shared outfits online did so through virtual communities. A variety of fashion communities popped up but they largely featured girls from their teens through their twenties with relatively similar style; perhaps the longest running community and one exception to this norm was Wardrobe_Remix on Flickr. Wardrobe_Remix still exists, but Flickr is increasingly annoying to use and I started to feel a lack of connection to the community several years ago. Which means unlike the real world where people of all ages, sizes, and styles walk around on a daily basis, online communities (like magazines) seem to mostly cater to a very narrow market. While I like delving into deeper issues and discussing the positives and negatives of fashion and personal style, I tend to skate around certain topics that I can't speak to on a very personal level. For instance, this catering of communities to a narrow demographic--I largely fit within this demographic; I'm mid-twenties, white, and despite being short a standard size that is easily found in stores.<br /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/IMG_4579_zps3063f418.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/ScreenShot2013-09-30at13220PM_zps3aeac23d.png" /><br />Still, when the option presents itself I'm more drawn to inclusive communities that don't just mimic the flaws in the fashion industry, but actually further the "democratization of fashion" that people always mention when discussing fashion blogs. Can you see where this rambling is headed? A few months ago I was approached by <a href="https://www.beaucoo.com/" target="_blank">BeauCoo</a> to join their community. BeauCoo hopes to connect women of all shapes and sizes to help them discover new styles, brands, and stores while becoming part of an inspiring, nonjudgmental, and body positive community (or <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BoPo&src=typd" target="_blank">#BoPo</a>).  In addition to encouraging body positivity, BeauCoo takes your measurements and while keeping them confidential helps connect you to other users with a similar shape. You merely hit the "fit match" button under the explore tab and you're immediately viewing dozens of girls with the same height and figure. I could definitely see this becoming the primary use of the site--quick selfies in dressing rooms that offer person-to-person reviews so you immediately know if and how an item will fit you instead of playing a guessing game with online shopping and removing some of the dressing room pain that is inevitable in shopping (quick note: recently watched <a href="http://stylelikeu.com/closets/dita-von-teese/" target="_blank">this interview</a> with Dita Von Teese and was relieved to hear she also experiences dressing room horror of "does my body really look like that?" in an ill-fitted dress or swimsuit).<br />The community shares predominantly through an app on either your <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/beaucoo-body-positive-style/id566719877?mt=8" target="_blank">iPhone</a> or <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beaucoo.android" target="_blank">Android</a>, but you can also browse <a href="https://www.beaucoo.com/" target="_blank">BeauCoo on the web</a>. I've been using it for about a week now and I'm going to make an effort to keep up with it for awhile--blogging should be about connecting to people with similar styles and interests that you wouldn't meet otherwise and sometimes you need to engage in a community to do just that. I also recommend browsing the <a href="https://www.beaucoo.com/blog/" target="_blank">BeauCoo blog</a> which blends fashion, current issues, and body positivity. I'm a big fan of style with substance. </div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="298" mozallowfullscreen="" src="//player.vimeo.com/video/60602276?byline=0&color=ffffff" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="530"></iframe></div></div>

Her collection is stunning full of gem prints, jewel tones, signature twists, and delightful separates that makes me want to wear shorts and go adventuring! Instead of a traditional show or presentation Pleet decided to create an original film featuring her designs this season and it's a stunning short. "Arcadia" was inspired by Charles Darwin’s journals written during his early voyages to the uncharted islands of Tiera Del Fuego. It looks like it was so much fun to shoot and end result is incredibly charming. The clothes still shine through the dramatics and I've definitely got my fingers crossed that I can snag a few pieces come spring.</div><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/sm1_zps92bc9ced.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/sm_zpsa77dda55.jpg" /></div>

The Wheel Is Come Full Circle

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/_MG_2873_zpsa9daff86.jpg" />Back in high school I hosted a sleepover birthday party for a friend and one of the guests brought a blue wig I immediately donned with great enthusiasm. In retrospect a blue wig seems like something odd to bring to a slumber party, but I don't recall thinking it was strange at the time. That night I was pretty excited to see what I looked like with a blue bob which yes, was strikingly similar to my hair now. In fact, when I first trimmed my hair into a bob-style cut I texted Thomas that the next time he saw me my hair would look like a wig, thankfully he didn't actually think it did. I can still see that old wig when I look in the mirror though; I wore it most of that night until it got too itchy and I suppose the desire for a more permanent version never really died. Of course, now with blue hair most of the time I forget it's an odd color or convince myself it looks black in a shadowy room. Not really sure what got me on the wig ramble today, maybe just the interesting idea about how things come full circle...<br /><div></div><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/_MG_3136_zpsd4b175c0.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/_MG_2835_zps8fb72f74.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/_MG_3108_zps6f25ce91.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/_MG_2889_zps5fb30275.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/_MG_3120_zps77561b43.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/_MG_3026_zpsa3cdd02f.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/_MG_3122_zps26f0804b.jpg" /><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: right;">Outfit details:</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://rstyle.me/n/bm43ihu7e" target="_blank">ASOS jacket</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.asianicandy.com/collections/dresses-created-desc/products/2tsjrau5" target="_blank">Asian iCandy dress</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://rstyle.me/~P3tE" target="_blank">ASOS tights</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://seychellesfootwear.com/" target="_blank">Seychelles heels</a></div><div style="text-align: right;">Zara purse<br /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/15904/the-clothes-horse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Bloglovin</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://twitter.com/aclotheshorse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Twitter</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/aclotheshorse?v=wall" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Facebook</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://theclotheshorse.tumblr.com/" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Tumblr</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://instagram.com/aclotheshorse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Instagram</a></div></div>

However, the message behind the clothes makes Prada one of most noteworthy collections to pay attention to this season. Miuccia Prada made a feminist statement with her clothes. I can't think of similar embrace of feminism in mainstream culture or the arts scene since the Riot Grrrls of the 90s and Miuccia touched on that creating her own interpretation of girl gangs in the models. The designer stated she wanted to "inspire women to struggle" and it was evident in power-ready clothes half featuring faces that looked like bejeweled political posters. And while it might not be my aesthetic cup of tea, it's a collection no one should be ignoring.</div>

My friends however are trying to convince me to go with them to a Celtic festival this weekend and there's a birthday party in the evening that I would be remiss to skip, so I suppose it's just time to roll my sleeves up and get the necessary finished so that the social won't be neglected. Typically, I'm one of those people that would rather sit home alone watching Netflix after a busy day than hang out with friends, but since I'm not certain that is the most positive way to live I'm working on fighting my instincts.
