Though It would be cool to see some historical information about thai fashion over the years. It seems hard to find any information about it, and it is tough because it seems that most information that comes up is the rise of western fashion in Thailand. Which is kind-of cool, but doesn't give an accurate depiction.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730633559388953224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-34245916433794003212015-10-19T18:45:02.328-05:002015-10-19T18:45:02.328-05:00Your ensemble looks like the perfect mix of Thai a...Your ensemble looks like the perfect mix of Thai and 1940s.

But food is an amazing way to learn about other cultures! Especially if you know someone in your community that may have a heritage of or experience in a different culture, it can be a great way to collaborate with other churches, organizations, or people, too. People love to share about their cultures!Emileigh https://www.blogger.com/profile/13683866769745929646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-64625127543812482212015-10-19T13:10:09.968-05:002015-10-19T13:10:09.968-05:00Yeah, I haven't talked about it much because i...Yeah, I haven't talked about it much because it doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the blog themes, but feel free to like Life360 Intercultural (my church) on FB if you want to see some of the things we do!<br />You can find it here: https://www.facebook.com/life360intercultural?fref=tsEmileigh https://www.blogger.com/profile/13683866769745929646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-83412978520106970332015-10-19T11:41:03.147-05:002015-10-19T11:41:03.147-05:00Love the outfit!

But that doesn't mean that we can't bring different cultures to us. We do potluck once a month and since I'm on the committee that organizies it you've given me an awesome idea to bring to the table.

This outfit manages to be both perfectly you, with the 40s influence, while paying respectful tribute to Thai culture.

You've used your inspiration well, and given it your own twist. All fashion, after all is about borrowing. And you aren't doing it in a way that mocks or stereotypes, so this is right to go. <br />Kaitlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620893870770998871noreply@blogger.com
