hi hello hey, and welcome back!

Our podcast is called Rare with Flair. You hopefully knew that already, but there’s something important about it we wanted to emphasize this week: flair. We chose this name very intentionally because we felt that it fit our brand perfectly: being disabled, but also enjoying living life as women in our 20s. While many of our future episodes will be focusing on the “rare” aspect, we wanted to remain three-dimensional to our audience and talk about things that matter to us, which in this episode, is fashion!

Like many women in their 20s, we love fashion and each have our own defined style. This episode starts with us explaining why we love fashion so much even though we’re legally blind. As we mention, we’ve been stared at our entire lives, so part of why is to give people something nice to stare at! Then we each have fun talking about our own styles in clothes, shoes, jewelry, and even explaining what our tattoos mean to us.

Spoiler alert: growing up disabled not only influences how you function daily, but as we discovered in this episode, it’s also influenced our style preferences. This leads into talking about confidence and when we began to accept ourselves more fully. We talk about fashion faux pas from trying to fit in in middle school, things we may still be a little self-conscious about, and touching on body positivity. Afterward, we answer a listener question, and play a little game of Style This or That where we ask each other questions about our style preferences.

Thank you to all the listeners that have emailed us over the past couple weeks! It’s been lovely hearing all your stories and encouragement. As always, if you have any questions for us that we can answer on the podcast or just want to send us a funny story, our inbox is ready at [email protected]!

We wanted to share pictures of our tattoos so you all could visualize them after we tried to describe them.
