This Year In Fashion ---My Opinons On: The Best, Worst, And What Fashion Means To Me

     I have been thinking about writing this post for a long time. First, there is SO much to address, due to this year in fashion and my blog. I thank you all so much for checking in and supporting me.


I have always loved fashion, but this year my passion has gotten so deep. The strive to do well, and be creative is strongest to me now, more than ever. At first, I was just curious about fashion. What is it like? Then, I became addicted…being able to put a name to a shoe or dress, when looking through a magazine. Coming home from school, I NEEDED to look at magazines or read reviews. How could I be so passionate? I don’t know, but it feels so good. Fashion is another world for me that I can escape to. I love it. I have never felt so strong about something before. It feels really pure, and relaxing to know that something I love is only a thought away. Going from jeans and t-shirts to an aceletic mix of vintage and modern. I long for the day when I can have hearty conversations on fashion, with some of fashion’s elite. Thank you once again, for supporting my blog. Also, thank you to Cathy Horyn, fashion critic of the New York Times. She responded to an email I sent her, and she told me to try blogging. I thank her for recommending it. I would be lost without this blog.

Now onto this year in fashion. Shall we talk about the best collections shown this year?
