If you look in the mirror...

I was looking through some of my fellow fashionista's blogs and I was really entertained by their topics, one topic made me laugh so hard I almost fell out of my chair. I love when people think they look fantastic, but really all they have done, is break a billion fashion laws!! I can't quite figure out how people look in the mirror in the morning before they leave the house and see the awfulness that is their outfit, but think they look fantastic!!

When you look in the mirror and you notice wearing a shirt that doesn't cover your midsection, and you have jeans that are too low and too tight (giving you a muffin top..... it might by time to change your outfit!

When you look in the mirror and you notice you are wearing brown shoes with black pants....it might be time to change your outfit!

When you look in the mirror and you notice you are wearing a shirt that is button up, but the only thing keeping your shirt buttoned is the grace of God.... it might be time to change your outfit.

When you look in the mirror and you notice you are wearing any shirt ever made by Ed Hardy .... it might by time to change your outfit.

When you look in the mirror and you notice you can see your panty-line....it might be time to change you outfit!

When you look in the mirror and you notice you are wearing white socks with black shoes/pants.....it might be time to change your outfit

It's not hard to follow fashion rules, it's not hard to look like you don't own a mirror....How would you rather look.

what is happening in my studio these days...

 I have two main places where I work on my designs, I have the living room of my apartment, and the fashion design room of Scoular Hall. My apartment has 3 sewing machines, a large stack of brown paper in the corner, and about 20 billion pattern pieces in the drawer under the couch. I spend so much time in my living room sewing i sleep on my couch some nights, so I can wake up and sew some more. I like working in Scoular hall, because i can hang out with friends while I sew, and sew what they are working on, also the lighting is much better. I stay pretty busy so having two places to work is pretty nice. Right now I'm working on a dress for Fashion Design. It's inspired by the art movement Futurism. I took my inspiration from a painting by Carlo Carra called The Funeral of the Anarchist Galli. I really loved the movement and the colors of the painting, and found a printed fabric that really embodied the painting.

 These are my pattern pieces that I have laid out cut out. the beginning stages of my dress.

This dress took a lot longer than I thought it would, but it turned out pretty great.

I would love some feedback if you're interested.
