One of my favorite blogs is Smithsonian Institution’s Threaded. American’s are so lucky to have such a resource as the Smithsonian.
Threaded is a fashion blog, but not the usual fashion blog that you see today. It is based on history and social context. You can read everything from the evolution of the swimsuit, the beginning of nylon stockings, and the influence of the 1969 moon landing on the fashion industry.
Here are a few pictures to show just a small variety of what a reader can find on Threaded. My link will take you to the latest installment. The photo captions are the posts that each photo is from.

Well, I just wanted to share. I hope you check out this blog and the Smithsonian website.

Retiring after thirty-two years as a K-12 visual arts teacher, Terri Gardner now devotes time to a long and early interest: fashion. With her blog, MeadowTree Style, Terri advocates for developing a personal and creative style. She encourages finding fashion in ethical ways such as shopping at consignment/thrift shops, creating it yourself, as well as supporting local designers.
Her second blog, Time for Poodles and Friends, advocates for rescued animals.
Her interests dating from childhood led to her sense of fashion, doing, and living. These interests include sewing, spinning yarn, knitting, design, and giving space for animals. She lives on a small Missouri farm with her husband, a large garden, and several animals including chickens and ducks, dogs and cats, and Shetland sheep and Alpacas. For her beloved rescued dogs, Terri created dog accessories and made them available under the label Sophia & Niko–Exclusive Design for the Distinctive Dog.
