I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America…how many of us hated saying the pledge every morning to the flag above the chalkboard at school? Our generation, 80’s babies, does not seem to have much American pride. Sad to say, but we are so warped in Fashion, Music, Sex, Drugs, T.V., etc. Or shall I say “What’s IN”. Not saying this is everyone, but most. ( I’ll admit, I slip from time to time of my politics and current events, but I balance that out with my “What’s IN”.) Well here’s trend that I have been seeing this year that has caught our generation in becoming more prideful of our country…The American Flag. This trend has our nations flag printed on everything you can think of that relates to fashion- Clothes, shoes, hats, sunglasses, accessories, jewelry, etc. Quick question is this for fashion or for pride? Personally fashion expresses how you feel and your personality. So if you are proud to be an American, why not be fashionable at the same time?! I L O V E the trend for its image and for the message of getting us Americans back to how it was back in the day, Proud of the USA! One thing I do find interesting is that when an American Flag touches the ground you are supposed to burn it…so does that apply to American Flag printed socks & shoes?!
