For those who know me, I've had this undying passion for fashion. Sounds so cliche, but what can I say, It's in my blood. I can't help myself. It's not that I just have an eye for style and great looks, but I love everything about fashion. From the construction of clothing, to the ideas and the inspiration of styles, to the business...it's a science!!! Some things come natural, other things are learned, but all of it, I love.
I've felt as though I've been out of touch. Not so much as with fashion, but with actually pursuing it in some type of way. In college, I did a lot. A few friends and I started a POSE (People of Style and Education), which later became officially recognized by the university. I modeled in every fashion show I could, and I also organized a fashion show for my sorority. One would think I would've progressed in that area following graduation, but for whatever reason, I didn't. "Real life hit" and didn't have a place for my pursuit of fashion. I started to think that pursuing fashion was some type of unattainable dream...one of those things that you could only want, but I'm past all of that. I don't want it to just be something I observe or *wish* about, I want to live it (whooo, this is so cliche, but it's honest!).
So, this year, I want to take fashion and style more seriously. I have some serious plans to put into action so that this will all become more than a notion.
