Week Five

This week I am reading blogs about fashion. I love finding new ideas and styles that I can incorporate in my wardrobe. I love to wear casual, comfortable clothes, but I need to upgrade my look. I went exploring and found some great blogs and websites:

Snazzyfashion.blogspot.com

iamfashion.blogspot.com

trendqueen.com

eshakti.com

Tavi Gevinson is a 13-year-old blogger who loves fashion. Her blog, Style Rookie is at http://tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com/ and has 4 million readers. Her popularity is due to her originality and thriftiness. She has been invited to attend New York Fashion Week. Gevinson has been featured in fashion magazines such as Pop and Love.

She sees clothing as art and a means of self-expression; however, her love for fashion also isolates her since she is only in the seventh grade. I like that she makes her own style and shops in thrift stores. In th seventh grade, I don't think I even knew what fashion meant, but the young girl is turning heads in the fashion world. I read her blog, which seems rather strange.

Gevinson uses photos of high-heel shoes, accessories, and runway models in her blog. She seems a bit eccentric to me, but I guess lots of people like reading her blog. Gevinson lives in Oak Park, Chicago and was named Blogger of the Moment by Teen Vogue.

She writes with sarcastic commentary, posts her own words, and inserts photos of brillant garments.

Fashion Pirate names Gevinson's blog as one of the top seven brilliant blogs.

I also learned at eshakti.com, you can custom order a dress or skirt, which is awesome. The web site shows pictures of them so you can see how they look.

These tops and skirts look awesome! I would love to wear them. Eshakti.com charges $15.00 extra for the fitting fee, but that is still a good deal. I will have to check that out, even though I prefer trying clothes on in the store. Malls are a bit overwhelming. I prefer to go to individual stores. I wonder if malls are going out of business because many stores are moving away from them and establishing independently.

With clothes like this, I would not mind ordering them online. Maybe, I can upgrade my wardrobe and obtain some new fashion sense at the same time. I usually wear a lot of brown, black, and gray colors. I am going to get out of the box and wear some bright new colors and styles.
