Manufactured fibers surround you and everything. They are incorporated with your clothing furniture, basically everywhere you go. Rayon was the first to be to produce fibers. It was followed by the acetate. These fibers, along with triacetate and lyocell, are made from cellulose, the fibrous substance in plant life. Combing molecules of nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon makes most other manufactured fibers. New manufactured fibers are being developed through research efforts all the time. The raw material and chemicals used to make manufactured fibers can vary. They all go through the same basics before they become fibers. Although there are many ways to modify manufactured fibers, each kind of fiber has some typical characteristics. There are other manufactured fibers, but these are used more for specialized protective clothing.

Natural Fibers
Natural fibers include:cotton. wool, linen, silk, polyester, cashmere, and many more. These fibers are more Eco friendly and better for our environment. These types of fibers are the foundation of the fabrics, it's like a small hair spanned. One of the most interesting things about about wool is that it's
used in cosmetic, shampoo, ointment, etc. In the other hand silk comes from a worm! Yes a worm. How crazy to think that the insects gave use clothing. From the egg it gives us worm, then it gives us leaves, and then the cocoon's heat. In addition we also have cotton the most commonly used fiber! We wear more than any other fiber because it's cheaper and it's a product we buy. Cotton is more breathable fabric. It's absorbent and it keeps you cool. Cotton comes from and plant or a seed fiber.
Lastly we have, linen, that comes from a flax plant. Linen is laborious to manufacture, but the fiber is very absorbent and garments made of linen are valued for their exceptional coolness and freshness in hot weather. Cotton is similar to linen.

Spring Denim Essentials
Spring has arrived and denim is in! I would've never thought that denim would pair up so well with the spring weather. Usually when people talk about spring outfits, it's all about the flow shirts, pants, boho looks, floral prints, silks, sandals, etc. Now, we are in a different era and denim is in trend. From not only pants, but tops, jackets, skirts, dresses etc. I personally never thought about it, but I came to a realization that I personally have started wearing denim looks, from vest to pants and as well as jackets! I think that denim give a more edgy look, but yet vintage as well. Which is crazy to think that those two aspects would ever come to mind. Recently, I've been to a few thrift stores like GoodWill and Savers and I have found many denim wear there! To come to think that this trend would be a thrift stores is amazing. It also fits by budget, other stores carry denim wear as well, but in the end you end up spending so much, when you can easily find that same jacket at Savers. My recommendation is that if you're recently now fitting in to the trend is looking for that denim top. Your first should be a thrift store. It's cheaper and it's more better for our environment.
