Inspiration

When most people hear that I am a fashion major, they assume that I want to work in the design field. However, I am focused more on the business. I have never thought of myself as someone with much of a creative mind but like all fashion majors, I would say that I definitely know what I like. I thought about maybe describing my ideal outfit in words but realized quickly that it was harder that it seemed. I would rather just illustrate and explain my inspirations and influences of my ideal pieces of apparel.

The color pallet that I would use would remind most of spring and summer. I am a huge fan of bright flashy colors such as hot pink, lime green and bright yellow. In my mind these colors relate to thoughts about the warm and fun months in the year and are related to the beach and vacation. As far as prints, I love the flowey type of flower prints such as Cherry Blossoms and Hibiscus however I do not think that many of my ideal clothes would involve prints.

I love bohemian flowey skirts that give a faint but classy silhouette of the waist and legs. I love these skirts because it does not matter what your body type is, they can look good on anyone. The most important aspect of fashion is to be comfortable and feel beautiful and confident. The clothing that I love incorporates those aspects. The pictures I have posted are different peices I would model an outfit after.: Ketsa.com and H&M.com.

One of my favorite stores is H&M and I feel that the styles that are portrayed there can be twisted and teased into something all your own. They have the basic pants and shirts but there are many elements that can be added to them to make them original. In conclusion, when I think of designing a piece of clothing, comfort and beauty would be my main components and inspirations. Also, multifaceted sillouettes that would look great on any woman would be very important as well.
