Trend I Cannot Wait For!



For my first actual post, I'm going to write about an upcoming trend that absolutely can't wait for. With each season we get a new set of trends, whether they be only for that season, or they last a whole year or more. Not every trend will look good on everyone, of course, so I've decided to pick out my favorites.

Sheer clothing is a huge trend for Spring and Summer, it was all over the runways and I'm very excited to test it out. I'm not a fan of sheer clothing that shows way more than anybody wants to see, but I think showing a little skin here and there never hurt.

I also found a couple examples of ways the sheer trend can be worked for all of us everyday people who aren't rich, fabulous supermodels. Even though we're still fabulous.



This American Apparel unisex see-thru tee makes a great t-shirt dress. Throw on a tank and some leggings, a belt around the waist, and you're good to go. 

The shorter tee in black would also be great for Spring when paired with a bright tank underneath.










This American Apparel tee is only a bit sheer, for the less daring. It's perfect for those who want to test out the trend, or just don't feel like showing off a lot of skin. 

I also love the simple detail in this shirt.

Hello!

Hello, whoever may be reading this. This is the first entry of my brand new fashion blog. I had another blog dedicated to my love of fashion, but I don't think I put a considerable amount of effort into it. It was very sloppy, and not very well done at all. I figured I'd start a brand new one. So I guess I will now introduce you to your lovely author.

I'm Meg, I obviously love fashion. I am going to be majoring in journalism, hopefully next fall. I've been struggling the past couple of years figuring out what I wanted to major in. I've always loved writing, but left it at that. I never looked any further into it, or ever considered a career in it. For a long time I've known that I love fashion, ever since I was a little kid, showing off my weird outfits I'd put together in front of my parents. I recently decided why not put the two together, and I've ultimately decided that I will major in journalism.

I was looking up advice for prospective fashion journalist's and read that one of the best ways to get practice and possibly get your name out there is to start a fashion blog. You have to love 2009, where blogging has become so huge that it is helping people land their dream jobs. I only hope this can somehow have at least a tiny bit of help when it comes to getting mine.

Anyway, I want to have a bit of structure to this blog. I don't want to just have random updates on things I find interesting, or news in the fashion world. I've planned a few regular blogs, I don't know yet if they will be monthly, weekly, etc. 

Some ideas I've had are:
A Trend I Cannot Wait For- I'll talk about an upcoming trend I'm excited about, why I love it, who's been wearing it, and where to get it.

Style Idols- People who's style I admire, whether it be a celebrity, or just someone I know personally.

Designer Profile - Designers I love and admire, whether they be old or new, famous or up-and-coming.

What I Wore....- A fashion blogger obviously needs to have a good fashion sense, so why not show it off? It is my blog after all.

Well, my lovelies, there you have it.
