"Fashion is what you buy, style is what you do with it"




"Fashion is what you buy, style is what you do with it"

     I've always had an eye for fashion, it runs in the family. Now though, after some time, I have gotten even better at knowing whether or not I'll be able to express myself well with what I am wearing. For example, when I wake up, I usually head over to the chair in the corner of my bedroom, where I had lay out my outfit for that day. (I decide the night before) Once I have put the outfit on, I look at my outfit in the mirror, from top to bottom. I think to myself..... Am I confident and pleased by what I see?....Does this help me express myself?  If the answer is yes, I don't change. Since I admire others who look confident in what they wear, I don't always focus on just what's in style. I also focus on what will help me express myself in a self-assured matter. So next time you look in the mirror, don't focus on if the others around you are wearing what is "cute", and if you are too. Just focus on what you feel motivated and confident in. 

     Lastly, here are 2 of my favorite quotes about fashion:

1. "I'm a risk taker and I've always been like that, especially when it comes to fashion." - Christina Aguilera, American singer and songwriter
2. "Every day is a fashion show and the world is the runway" -Coco Chanel, French Fashion designer

Relationships with a mirror

Relationships with a mirror:      Most likely, when you read this title, you thought of self image. I tend to pinpoint this topic often in my blogs, because it is important to me, but is often misinterpreted. Many people seem to define self image as how you look in the mirror. Although that is part of this, there is much more to this topic. To me, self image is a combination of self love, self appearances and how we react to them, and self confidence. For example, when I look in the mirror, I may not always be pleased with what I see, because the other people look "perfect", yet I do not. But take a moment to imagine what they might say when they look in the mirror. Every person has insecurities and flaws, no matter how flawless they appear to be. This begins the conversation of the "Relationships with a mirror".       As I stated in the above paragraph, every person has flaws. But these flaws are awesome, they make us who we are. It is easy to stand in t

Memorial Day!

Memorial Day!      Tomorrow is known as "Memorial Day", a day to honor the men and women who have served in the military. These men and women have made many sacrifices, including some who lost their lives. As a way to show gratitude for these hardworking men and women, we often send letters, visit memorials, host family gatherings, or participate in annual parades.       Unfortunately, many of these celebrations are no longer able to happen this year, as a result of the pandemic we are now faced with. Yet it is still important to honor all the hard work and dedication these men and women put forth. So you may be wondering how to show your appreciation despite these setbacks. To start, there are many artistic activities you can do to express your appreciation. For example, you can make posters or signs. Decorating these posters with the colors of the United States Flag shows respect for these men and women and all they have done for our country. Another option is to

"That's a Bop"

"That's a Bop"      You may have heard the phrase, "That's a Bop", which basically means that a piece of music is what society views as great. For example, when the song Shake it Off came out in 2014, many young listeners referred to the song as being a "Bop". Another example is the song 10,000 Hours, released in 2019.       The reason why this phrase should be spoken about now, is because many people globally are dealing with hard times currently, and listening to music is a good outlet for their stress and pain during these times. If you're dealing with something difficult, and have not yet tried this method of release, set some time each day to listen to music that you enjoy. Music can change the way people view situations, and take their mind off the parts they don't like to think about. Of course, it won't completely ease the pain or stress, but it is a great way to change your mood and not have the situation take over e
