I'm chatting with someone who has a very specific definition of a word they're trying to "take back" (more power to them!), and now I'm terribly curious...
What's something - a word, a style, an attitude, a food craze, an era, a mannerism - that you're on a mission to take/bring back? Something you'd love to see other people invoke the same way again?
(Answers can and should range from the goofy to the profound!)
YES!
I love the swish of a long skirt. I knew fellows and ladies alike who adored rocking one.
Someone pointed out in pandemic that it made perfect sense for brasieres and high heels to disappear after the influenza pandemic of 1918-20, and my mind was blown. Yes! Flats and slinky simple dresses after isolation from their own bout of plague! We can make this happen again! 🤞
Also, everyday kilts... and utili-kilts? Yes please! More functional breathing room for everyone!
Woo! Don't forget to pay the #KiltTax when you treat yourself to one!
@MLClark @stueytheround Seconded. #KiltTax
Utili-kilts! 😂 All lengths, all genders. Pleats are universally flattering, people!!!
I've never thought about the previous pandemic's influence on fashion, but I'll look it up. Intriguing...

@MLClark "Tactical" kilts are common and inexpensive online! I really must treat myself to one at some point. @LiseL
