I already love fashion; I love every aspect of it. High fashion, street fashion, the old, the new, I love it all. It is something that if God willing I can further pursue in my career as a journalist. But what really got me thinking was going international. I’ve always wanted to travel, explore the rest of the countries and admire the beauty from a different light. This got me thinking about learning more about the fashion in other countries and how different yet similar it is to America. After getting the chance to interview the girls from different parts of the world, it really made a big impression in my life to really get to know and learn more about different cultures and their fashion. I’ve grown such an appreciation for other cultures that I hope to someday see for myself what they have to offer.
As a fashion guru, or at least hope to someday be, I love following fashion blogs. I realize I can spend hours just looking at pictures and reading about what is the next biggest trend and who wore what. My two favorite blogs would be LookBook http://lookbook.nu/ and Who What Wear http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/home.php?p=1 . Who What Wear has to do more with the celebrity fashion and seeing what is “in” for the season and what is the next big thing. They give you styling tips, and where you can find similar clothes to what the starts are wearing. I love this blog because its just shows you the fast forward of fashion and what is happening in the entertainment industry.
I have to say that LookBook is my favorite, because these are blogs of real people all around the world putting up pictures of their fashion sense and blogging about what they love, and that’s fashion. This is what also inspired me to go forth the whole international aspect of fashion, because you get to see these people of different ages all having the same love for clothes and wanting to show the world how they are different and unique. That is the thing about fashion and clothing that I love, they way you can express yourself, what sets you apart, or what makes you feel comfortable.
I know most people think of fashion as for the high-class snobby rich people or celebrities that can afford everything, but when I think of fashion I think of the way it makes other people feel. The way that one girl can change the way she feels about herself just from putting on a beautiful dress. The way that your self-esteem just boosts up from finding the perfect outfit that fits you and your personality.
Sometimes I feel that my dream of working for a fashion magazine completely out of reach, im 19 years old with no experience, just wants to do something that I love, but who knows if I’m possibly good at.
But if I just leave it in the hands of God, I know he will help me and do what is best for me. For once I don’t want to give up a dream, and especially this that I decided to put what I love and make into a life for myself.
Fashion is more than just a trend for me; it is a way to help people be comfortable in their own skin, giving them a way to express what they can’t say out loud. For me it’s fashion, but for someone else it good be sports, or the news, or big dreams, but I feel that if it is something that you love that you shouldn’t think you can’t do it or that its impossible and out of reach. Just believe in yourself a little and work hard for what you want because at the end of the day nothing in life comes easy, but then you have God to help you along the way.
