Slowing things down - A note on future posts.

        

        Thank you to everyone that has been reading any of the posts, I only started this as a fun challenge to myself, and to write some ideas out that I had. I'm happy with all that I have been able to do in the past month or so. 

        I don't plan on stopping, but I will be slowing down significantly and posting less often, maybe once a week, or more likely, as inspiration or ideas come to me.

        I do already have some bigger ideas in the works, and some articles that are more interesting and out there, at least to me. The format will probably be a little less consistent too. I was trying to follow a pretty simple kind of guidelines of how I wanted things to look and sound.

        The topics will be roughly the same as the previous posts, maybe a little bit more in depth than before though, given I'll have a little more time in between posts to really do some research and formulation of ideas. It'll all still mostly center around fashion, clothes, shoes, and related ideas. I'll give a quick sneak peek at one of the longer deep dive articles I am writing at the end of this one.

        For now, thank you so much for reading, feel free to comment and share if you'd like also, I would love to hear from anyone that is enjoying reading these and figure out what other things people might be interested in reading about. I always love to learn from other people about new things I am unaware of.

Sneak Peek of a future article: Why my favorite shoes changed their sole. A deep dive into Keds and International Trade Goods Regulations.

[It's no secret that my favorite sneakers, no, shoes in general, are Keds Champions. Why? Because they are nostalgic, they are comfortable, they look great, so many reasons. One thing has always interested me though; we're sold on the image that the Keds Champion has been a solid fixture of women's footwear for over a century. And that is true, mostly. I've noticed that over the lifetime of me wearing Keds, the soles have changed very subtly every few years.

Like many other clothing brands, or any company really, changes are inevitable; material costs, manufacturing, international trade regulations, importing, all sorts of major factors can lead to necessary adaptations a company must make to survive and thrive for 100 years. 

With one needless question on my mind, and a few wild theories, I set about looking for some answers to why Keds might have done some of these structural and design changes to my Champions; If only to learn just a little bit more about my favorite brand. The results aren't mind-blowing or life-changing, but they are pretty intriguing if you have any sort of interest in sneaker or fashion history.]
