Middle School Advise: Middle School Fashion

Hey Guys! For today's post, I am going to be talking about fashion in Middle School. After all, this wouldn't be a complete fashion blog mini series without talking about fashion. Obviously, I am no longer in Middle School and do not know all of the in trends for that age group, however, I do know what is and is not age appropriate. The first thing I really want to put out there, and honestly, if this is the only thing you take away from this post, that is okay; DRESSING LIKE A SLUT IS NOT COOL.

Crop Tops:
Crop tops are not appropriate for school.

Booty Shorts:

Mini Mini Mini Skirts:

Fashion is a way to express yourself. One of the things that it expresses is how much you love and respect yourself. I know this is a bit deep but I feel like it is the only way to address fashion in Middle School. A lot of girls and boys find themselves dressing in slutty cloths or having their pants at their ankles as they walk through the educational hallways. Why do they do this? Because they want to be accepted and they think that showing off their assets will help them bet approval of their peers. What they are looking for is not really the approval of their peers, but the approval of themselves. Children who feel the need to wear a top showing off their stomach to class are trying to prove that they are good enough. This derives from the belief that they are not good enough as they are. This insecurity leads to students seeking the approval of others so they can feel better about a self that they otherwise do not love. You should never find yourself in a situation where you feel the need to dress provocatively to improve your self esteem. You will end up getting negative attention which will only make yourself feel worse. You are perfect just they way you are. You are perfect in appropriate clothing. You have imperfections that you wish you could cover up. But you are perfect because you wear them proud. You are perfect because you have aspects about yourself that are truly perfect and that make you feel confident. You are perfect because you are you and you should never feel like you are not good enough. I know that is easier said than done. SO, here is my suggestion. If you are someone who is inclined to dress slutty or walk around with pants at your knees, you do not need to do that. Pick a style and purchase some pieces that fit into that style. By sticking to a style, you can dress appropriately and express yourself. People will always respect you for your unique style. You will find yourself setting trends and bringing confidence to yourself. You do not need to fall into the trap of trashy, you can bring classy to the table and get the respect of your peer and therefore, get accepted.
Love yourself
xoxo

Project Runway 10-15-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers gave members of the Project Runway crew a makeover. Hey guys! Welcome to this week's Project Runway Recap Review! We are getting closer and closer to fashion week each episode and the competition is getting tight. At this point, any of the designers could go home. Last week was packed with drama...but...its a new week, and a fresh slate, so lets get started. Challenge: The five remaining designers will make an outfit inspired by the New York City bridges (Queensborough, Brooklyn, Manhattan). The designers were assigned a bridge from the black bag of doom. Each designer created a textile with a 3-D printer that they had to incorporate into their garment. This is an Avant Garde challenge. Thoughts In The Workroom:  I'm not so sure what I think about 3-D printers...comment down below and let me know what you think about them (in general, not just in fashion). Candice made a good choice not using black again this week. Designers wh...

Project Runway 10-26-15 Final Part 1 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers created a Red Carpet look. Thoughts in the Workroom: I knew Edmond would get the save!! Edmond really did deserve it. Not coming in prepaired must put on so much pressure. Candice's red and white pants are SO cute! Wait, Ashley what is that stain remover stuff? I need that. Challenge: The designers will show the judges three looks from their collection for feedback. One of those looks would be created from scratch, in the workroom . Guest Judge: No one this week. Home Visits From Tim : Ashley: Tim visited Ashley's hometown where she revealed her Mexican heritage. Ashley is creating a plus sized collection. I think that it is awesome that she is going for it. There is such a need for quality, fashionable, plus-sized clothing. Ashley's mother supported her vision stating the importance of Ashley's vision. Tim praised Ashley for her innovation with her floral headpieces, however, he warned her that the judges may cal...

Project Runway 10-8-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers had to create an outfit tailored to the specific styles of the JustFab customer. The winning designer's look is being sold on JustFab.com Hey guys! Welcome to this week's Project Runway Recap Review. I just wanted to start out by saying that I absolutely love this challenge! The Project Runway Crew has worked so hard to bring us fans this amazing show for fourteen seasons. Without the crew, there would be no Project Runway. The crew 100% deserves some designer love! I think the annual "real women" challenge is so important. Project Runway is a platform for the designers to put their work out there. The "real women" challenge allows fans/customers with all different body types to see how the designer's aesthetics might look on them. Challenge: The designers will be treating members of the Project Runway Crew to a custom outfit. Thoughts In The Workroom: Raincoat? Unique. The outfit Ashley is wearing is so...
