Fashion is a way for you to express yourself without
speaking. It allows you to show someone
who you are. Like Rachel Zoe said,
“Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.” I have come to the conclusion that I express
myself through having very different styles, when it comes to what I wear. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to
places like England, France, Italy, China, Taiwan, Germany, and Poland. From all these different places I’ve picked
up many of their trends.
I grew up
in a small town in Connecticut only 45 minutes from New York City. When I’m home, I go to the city at least once
every weekend. There, I found myself
overwhelmed by all the different fashion styles. Up until the fifth grade, my mom picked all my clothing outfits. Sometimes I’d help her but she’d alter my
outfit so it was acceptable to attend school in. My first day of fifth grade, my mom finally
let me pick out my own outfit. I
seemingly dressed to the trends, of a high -waisted skirt, a double zip Jansport
backpack, and sketchers. Since then I
have always tried to dress appropriately for the occasion. My attire usually consists of a pair of skinny jeans, an oversized shirt or sweater, and a pair of leather boots.I like to think that I am creative and the
clothes I wear reflects that creative part of me.
I choose to
buy things based on several different factors. I enjoy looking at magazines, social media
websites, and shopping at various retail stores. I love looking at fashion blogs, Instagram,
and Pinterest. These websites help give
me ideas of what I would want to buy.
When shopping, I look first, frequently comparing prices so when I do
buy, I am making an informed purchase. I
am always looking for a great value. But
I always look or wait for discounts. I
love shopping at off price retailers like Ross and Tjmaxx, it’s always a
treasure hunt in those stores because you never know what you’ll actually
find. The way I choose to buy things
says that I am someone who enjoys expressing myself but shows that I am a
bargain shopper.
After exploring
through my fashion styles, I have come to the conclusion that I wear clothing
based upon what mood I am in. I buy clothing
not just because it’s the “it” trend because I know I’ll like it and I’ll wear
it. Being able to travel the world and
be immersed in different cultures has also allowed me to pick up on many
different European and Asian fashion trends.
My travels, environments, and friends have all influenced what makes me,
me. I dream to become a successful
leader in the future, and I’m inspired by the environment and people around me,
which in turn helps me decide what types of fashion style I’d like to
wear.
