You Won't Catch Me in Camo

The army structured look has been seen on the runways at fashion week the past couple of seasons. We will see a lot of it this fall since multiple designers were influenced by the style. My favorite jacket is an army green cargo jacket that I purchased in the BP department at Nordstrom this August. I was first inspired by many bloggers who owned a similar jacket. The Man Repeller actually just featured hers on her blog. So no, I am not totally against army influences in fashion, but yes, I am not okay with the tacky camo print. Sadly, I have seen camo print attempt to make a comeback. But please stay away from the in-your-face print and leave it for special hunting occasions or tacky dress up parties.

The Flower Child

I have blogged about my gifted and talented class before. Every year we are given a year long project free of choice. There are no guidelines besides ensuring it challenges us, and we turn in everything on the given due date. Like last year (my junior year ISP) I decided to stick with a project based around designing.

This year I did not just want to do a collection, but just one "out there" look. I was inspired by things I love. I was inspired by girls. I was inspired the sophistication of relaxing in my favorite chair with a cup of green tea and a book. I was inspired by the fascination girls have with dressing up in glitter and tulle. I found myself titling this piece "the things I love."

I wanted my piece to be made up of more than just basic fabrics. I wanted textures to bring my inspiration to life. I am very satisfied with my piece. I would obviously never wear this out in public, but I think many girls can relate to at least part of the girl found in this piece whether you are a girly girl, sophisticated, classy, enjoy a cup of coffee, enjoy a good read, enjoy being surrounded by girlfriends, or simply enjoy the beauty found within you.
