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

Best Fit: How to Start Your Fitness Journey

"Best Fit" Let's start our fitness journey! Incorporating fitness into your daily life is difficult. Life is full of wonderful things to do and it can be hard to prioritize being healthy. Today we are going to jump right in and start incorporating fitness into our daily lives.  *Disclaimer: I am neither a fitness expert nor a doctor. I am here to build a community, not give professional advise. Before beginning your fitness journey, check with your medical professionals to make sure you are physically healthy enough to complete any activities suggested. 1. Pick a time of day for your workout: Picking a time of day is a great first step in starting a healthier lifestyle. Putting it on your calendar (maybe even setting up a reminder notice) will help you hold yourself accountable. It will also remind you that you have set aside time that day to go to the gym so you do not double book yourself.  Personally, I prefer to work out in the late afternoon/ea

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 who
