Shades of Cool

Shades of blue are my absolute favorite, especially when it comes to wardrobe choice. Blue is a color that I feel isn't shy to any season and can be worn year-round. This summer, which happened to be the hottest in history, was the perfect summer to own a pair of turquoise blue aviators. I found that regardless of their extremely noticeably bright hue, I was able to incorporate them with almost every outfit (or at least, I did it anyway!) With this ensemble, I tried to go for a laid back bohemian feel. The off-the-shoulder top was bell-sleeved (so 1970 of me) paired with tulip styled shorts and tan colored sandals.

The Art of Fashion

Why fashion? People often times say that “art is a way to express yourself” and I couldn’t agree more! Because I am no Picasso and not so great at playing instruments… my way of expression is through the clothes that I wear. The head stylist of Threadsence.com, my dear friend Justin Cabal, said he couldn't help but agree! His reason for going into the fashion industry is because he believes fashion is a great way to express yourself without having to say a single thing. I find that I can express who I am and how I feel through the outfits I put together every day. It is true that we should never judge a book by its cover, but what about the old saying, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression!” Well, if that’s the case, why not make every first impression a good one? I don't see fashion as a way to impress certain people or make anyone think a certain way of you. And yes, some women may argue that we dress for other women or maybe even to impress a man. But I do it for myself, I do it because it makes me feel good. I feel free and happy when I express myself through fashion - it's a way of conveying who I am. Whether it be a BCBGMAXAZRIA gown or throwing on my Miley Cyrus concert tour tee and a pair of converse, it is expression through fashion.
