Be unique!

For all of the fashionistas out there, fashion is all about what you wear and how you wear it. Its about colors, trends, styles, fits, and themes. This season is all about leggings, skinny jeans, thigh high boots, and off the shoulder t-shirts. Sounds like we are backtracking to the 80's. I'm not complaining, but its very easy to point out that fashion just seems to go in circles with its trends and themes. Sure, the colors and prints may be unique from the previous go-around, but it gets kind of old. What IS good about this is that when these fashions were in style, it was in our parents generation. Trends and the ongoing cycles give every generation of people to participate in those trends at least once. This is great and all, but isn't it refreshing to see someone on the street with their own sense of style, rocking it like they own the world?! I love it when I see that personally. It shows that people are comfortable in their own skin, beliefs, likes and dislikes, and that they are confident. Fashion is what we make it. God gave every person in this world their own personal thumb-print. Lets do this with our clothes. Find something you love, and make it yours. This could be a pair of shoes, an accessory, a
jacket, or something simple like a choice in your nail polish. Be you!

Jump out of the Box!

Its almost October and classes are in full swing. The first round of exams are here and the weather has been hinting that autumn is almost here. Fall is my favorite season of the year with the beautiful colors of the leaves as they change from dark green to gorgeous reds and vibrant oranges. Along with the cool, crisp weather comes a change in every girl's wardrobe. For most college girls in a sorority, this means dusting off your north face and digging out the Ugg boots from the back of your closet. This needs to change. This season, lets try not to be so stereotypical. Who wants to live in a small box anyways?! I mean lets face it, college is the place to be an individual and express yourself in the best way you can. This season, hats are the must have accessory. Maxi dresses that we've been seeing this summer are now available in long classic skirts. The biggest must have item this fall would be the thigh high boot. This can make any outfit stand out and either dress it up or down. A neutral color can be so versatile paired with any other colors.
