Momma Told Me: Express yourself through style

Style is all about letting the star within shine; it should always be an expression of you, never the other way around. Wear the clothes and demand the attention your presence deserves, whether the occasion is formal or relaxed. Living in Southern California, I'll admit the majority of my wardrobe is fairly relaxed. I have my staple LBD (little black dress), 3 pairs of black heels, one Emerald Green leather jacket, designer rain boots (though we only see rain about 9 days a year), and enough pairs of glasses to wear a different one each day of the week. Yes, for me, the easiest way to express myself through fashion is through the creative inclusion of unique and illuminating accessories. The perfect coat can truly tie an outfit together, while the right pair of shoes can improve posture and increase confidence. Much like the physical things in my home, my wardrobe and accessories reflect a certain eclectic nature that I find randomly comforting, yet wildly inspiring. I don't like to wear what everybody else is wearing, and I search hard to find emerging trends before they're 'hot'.

I cannot, for the life of me, tell you how I came across emerging clothing brand Electric M|V|M|T. Unfortunately, if you try to find them through basic search terms like 'lighted clothing' or 'light up jacket,' you will not get very far; that's just how fresh this exciting clothing line is!  I recall, last Summer, having just adopted our pup and wanting to find a piece of stylish nighttime apparel that would also promote safety and expression. I thought to myself, "There must be a clothing company that specializes in outerwear that lights up." What I did manage to find in conjunction to this query was a disappointing array of poorly made fiber optics clothes mainly built for live action shows and entertainment. By some show of grace I happened to stumble onto a very basic website for the brand Electric M|V|M|T, claiming to be the founders of the world's first Light Up Hoodie. The images on the home page were immediately intriguing, with models in my age demographic chilling on high rise rooftops and swirling amid blurs of light in clubs.

At the time their flagship product, the Delaware St Black Hoodie was only available with Blue accent lighting. I'm happy to announce there are now 3 color options including; Blue, Green, and Pink (which photographs as more of a Red). You may recall I was one of the first bloggers to break news of the animal hood trend with the original brand; Spirit Hoods. This trend is still raging hot years later, and has been since copied by countless knock off brands and concepts. I am putting my name out here to state that Electric M|V|M|T will quickly gain popularity as it's discovered by countless fans such as myself. Snap one of these, authentic, lighted hoodies up today to turn heads and ride the fashion pulse through 2013!

The concept of a 'lighted hoodie' is quite simple. Electric M|V|M|T has worked tirelessly to design a form fitting and style friendly black hoodie that easily zips and offers the basic convenience of front pockets. Inside, behind the left pocket, is a secret pouch that secures the 3 mode (2 AA battery operated) remote for the LED lighting that runs up the zipper seam and around the hood. With just a click of the button one can cycle through a stationary illumination, slow flash, or rapid flash, to really help liven the atmosphere. As of now, the initial model I received, does seem to emit a very low frequency hum, only audible in the complete silence of my home; and undetectable outside near the street. Because it only requires 2 AA batteries, the remove device is fairly lightweight, and offers hours of continual use.

I cannot rave enough about how unique, and how well this light up hoodie fits; it is well worth every penny of the asking price. Regardless of the illumination, I love to wear this ultra soft, flattering, hoodie for warmth and style. When I'm out with the dog at night it provides ample visibility for me and others, and transitions into a conversation piece at parties and clubs. Just the other weekend a girlfriend and I went out for a girl's night on the town, and to do some dancing. Countless times I was approached walking down main street, and on the dance floor, and asked where one could buy one of these unique hoodies. The answer, of course, is exclusively online through Electric M|V|M|T. But don't wait to order your favorite color, these sell out fast!
