Fashion 101

Fashion is more than simply following a trend or buying the most expensive thing you can find. It takes a little more skill than that to create an outfit you’ll be proud of! So, I decided to create this quick list to help you on your way to a fashionable life.

Accessories are The Key

When creating an you may feel as though your combination of a pair of jeans and a sweater looks a bit boring, but fear not! A simple outfit can be brought to life by a choker, bracelets, or even a pair of earrings. Even if you are wearing a t-shirt and jeans you could be improved by a bright belt and some nice shoes.

Find your Fashion-Muse

Fashion is a very personal thing. It’s kind of like your silent personality, and as unique as you are I’m sure you can find like-minded people who inspire you. If you’re on the hunt for fashion inspiration I’d recommend going on Instagram or YouTube. Those are certainly my favorite places to find fashion inspiration! Before long you may have an aesthetic down pact, but don’t worry, you don’t always have to stick to it.

Only buy things you LOVE

As fun as fashion sprees may be, you might realize on your way home that you only bought that crop top because it was 50% off and how you will never wear it out. So hear me out, I love to splurge on clothes just as much as you do but what’s the point if it’s only an ok shirt and not an amazing one! Wouldn’t you rather have three cute shirts instead of ten okay ones? If you buy only what you cut out the extra clutter and keep your closet filled with only the best!

Basics will take you Far

Whether your style is black on black or bright pink, you need a few simple pieces in the mix. Basics are the base of any wardrobe and are honestly the easiest way to up your style. A few crisp black and white tops, a few pairs of simple jeans, some converse and maybe even a classic “faux” leather can really shine. Keep these thin crisp and clean and you’ll be good to go!

Try something New

Variety is the spice of life, and that should show through your style. Sure, there’s nothing wrong with a bit of repetition, but why not have some fun! Trying out a color you wouldn’t usually wear or even buying those gold shoes you saw in the mall won’t kill you. In fact you might begin something you never thought you would’ve.

“So… what are we?”

Nobody goes on dates anymore. When’s the last time a gentleman came to your doorstep to meet your parents before taking you to a nice restaurant for dinner? When has society changed the meaning of “date” to “I’ll text you when I pull up and we can hangout?” The sad reality is that young ladies have accepted the bare minimum, and when a guy treats us respectfully like they should, we swoon. Opening a car door for a woman? Pulling out a chair for her? Bringing flowers as a token of affection to a date? Never experienced that, and any guy that did that for me would win my heart immediately. This new generation views chivalry as outdated, and when a guy does something kind for a lady, the guy expects something in return. Ultimately, men just want sex. Yes, this is a harsh generalization, but we’re growing up in a hookup culture; it’s all about treating a woman well to get in her pants, not out of the kindness of your heart. What bothers me most is, why would you take a beautiful young lad...

Challenging the Taboo

What do u think of when u hear the word ‘period’? You probably think of the end of a sentence or perhaps a class period. But not a girl’s period right? It’s just too gross right? I have asked four guys this question: “What is the grossest thing about the female gender?” The majority said, “the period.” One guy said that he thinks periods are cool because he understands the biology of it. That’s cool. But not every guy agrees. My guy friend in college says he does not like the blood because he is afraid of getting AIDS. Understandable right? So many guys are inhuman to the fact this is a natural thing. But when they do acknowledge it they’re all like “she must be PMSing.” They are pretty inconsiderate to how women feel during our six days of misery. When you tell them about it they usually just pretend like they’re comfortable with it and then the truth comes out later. And it hurts- it hurts to find out the truth. And then you realize that it is not worth crying over because the hu...

Black America vs. The Justice System

Black Americans have been treated unfairly and unjustly for years throughout American history. Even today, black people still are being treated unfairly even with the justice system that is supposed to be equal for all. Over the course of many years, black Americans have been targeted by police officers in a series of shootings. This sparked racial tension between blacks and whites over the years, especially within the last five years. The hostility between both races originally sparked back in the 1980s was known as the “War on Drugs”: the United States government’s prohibition of drugs. During the era, black Americans were thought to make up about half of those incarcerated out of the 2.3 million that were arrested during the drug epidemic. Another statistic calculated that blacks were incarcerated six times the rate of white people. 14 million whites were reported to have used illicit drugs versus 2.6 million black people reported to have used an illicit drug. These stats st...
