What inspires me?


Even though I am not a design major I still get inspied by everyday things. When I get inspired
by something I usually get extremley happy and excited. I dont draw the designs out, I just think about how to put them together in my head.
For one example, even just walking around campus, I see the different styles and trends that people put together on thier own. At the beginning of the semester I was so enfatuated with what everyone was wearing, I went to the mall and tried to see if I could put the outfits toegther; but in my own way.I like to go into stores and mix and match outfits that I think will work. Most of the time I do not buy or wear the outfits I just suggest them for other people.
I am really infatuated with bold bright colors and long comfy tops; big bags and gladiator sandals; straight legged pants and sundresses. Walking around in the city is another big way i get inspired. I love to go to New York in the summer and just walk around searching for something that stands out. Even if I do not find somethin that really stands out i still like to mix and match the outfits I find.

My niche is putting outfits together in my head as well. I like to walk around the mall and either think of ways to change what a manikin is wearing, or people watch and see the different styles that people are sporting, and relate them to what I would wear. I love bright colors that catch someone's attention, plus I feel like different colors ad flavor to someone's style and individual look. I love purses, accessories, and long shirts that ad spunk to an outfit also.

hey genna, your ability to mix and match will come in handy if you want to become a buyer eventually. or if you want to become a stylist like stacey and clinton on what not to wear.

what did you think of the vera wang collection at kohls - it was a lot of long comfy tops and such.
