A little Information about Fashion


Fashion is something we deal with every day. Even people who say they don't care what they wear choose clothes every morning that say a lot about them and how they feel that day.  There's one thing for certain in the fashion world change will always come but it will always be something that's been hear before. As consumers we are constantly being bombarded with new fashion ideas from music, videos, books, and television that shape our though about what we wear and like.  Movies also have an impact on what individual will wear.

What or Who dictates your Fashion?

Musicians and other cultural icons have influenced what individuals are wearing, but so have political figures and royalty. Magazines report on what Michelle Obama is wearing and you have women looking for the same outfit so they can look like the First Lady.  Even individuals in the 1700s looked over fashion magazines to see the latest styles so they can see the trends. Women and dressmakers outside the French court relied on sketches to see what was going on. The famous French King Louis XIV said that fashion is a mirror. Even Louis himself was renowned for his style, which tended towards extravagant laces and velvet.

Clothes separate people into different categories...

Your clothes can reveal what group’s you are apart of.  When you are in high school, the groups have names: "goths, skaters, preps, nerds." Styles show who you are, but they also create stereotypes and distance between groups. For instance, a businessperson might look at a young girl or boy with green hair and multiple piercings as a freak and outsider. But to another person, they are strict conformist. They dress a certain way to deliver the message of rebellion and separation, but within that group, they are in uniform. Acceptance or rejection of a style is a reaction to the society we live in.  Fashion is a language which tells a story about the person/individual who's wearing it. "Clothes create a wordless means of communication that we all understand and follow in some way.

Being a Strong Woman

What do you call a Strong Woman? "Who's Back Do You Stand On"             A sister, mother, aunt, cousin, business owner, nurse, doctor, housewife, nanny, and so many many other names.  Do you know who came before you to pave the way so that you wouldn't have to go through drama of being told your just a woman and you ain't capable of being a success.  Tell me who's back do you stand on is it the mother or grandmother that stood in the gap for you.  The one who took the verbal abuse or physical abuse so that you wouldn't have to.  Or is it the woman who deserve to be the CEO of the company but took the back seat to the man that wasn't even half as qualified as she was to hold the CEO position.  Who's back do you stand on? The woman who's the housewife that never gets credit for raising our future President.  Maybe, it the little old lady that welcomes you to the Wal-Mart and she has to be there because that's her only choose.  Could it be

Networking vs. Social Climbing

What's the Difference Between Networking and Social Climbing? This is just my opinion, but there's not a lot of difference in the two.  Both take you out of your comfort zone and you have to talk to individuals you have never met, but if you do your introduction correctly then you aren't a social climber you are now a networker.  You may say that this fact isn't true, but I beg to differ with that.  People think a social climber should never be let into the elite circle of friends, but if that some person is networking then the elite will gladly welcome that same person into there circle because now this same person is worthy.  So, you see there's always a way of going up the social ladder without it being a negative in life.....
