Writer's Chair -- Whitnee's blog

Blog post ideas for Whitnee’s Fashion Corner:

1. Critique of “expert” fashion advice or statements about what’s in or best dressed
2. Fashion cycles – things that were in, then out, and are back in again. Why does happen? 80’s ?
3. Posting photos of everyday fashion do’s and don’ts (anonymous of course!)
4. Trends to watch for
5. Men’s fashion -- ?
6. Who decides what’s in – research on fashion industry, history…? How trends get started?
7. Psychology of fashion




As I stand at work waiting for customers to come in and shop, I am contemplating what I should share with you all. WHAT MIGHT YOU SHARE OR ARE YOU THINKING OF SHARING? I check what is new in the fashion world on the New York times website, visit Glamour magazine's page, and then Lucky magazine's. Each spot leaves me uninspired, -- QUICKLY SAY WHY -- but then I remember to check the Vogue website. As I navigate my way through the webpage, I notice a new feature, The Social Shopper. I click on the words, curious about what The Social Shopper could be. The page loads, and in front of me is a picture of actress Hallie Steinfeld from True Grit, she is wearing a colorful dress, and next to her picture is a sketch of a woman wearing a similar striped number. As I scroll down I come across some writing that talks about how Vogue does not just acquire their fashion information from the typical places, but from fashion bloggers such as myself! QUOTE VOGUE? I find it somewhat thrilling to know that Vogue listens to what everyday people have to say about fashion. As I continue to scroll down further I find ten items that Vogue suggests on how to wear stripes in everyday styles. The whole point of The Social Shopper is to help women translate fashion that they see on the runway, television, or other places into ways that they can wear them without seeming too far out there. I love this idea, because so many times I will see something, but think I could never get away with that. PUT SOME PICTURES HERE! However, Vogue has saved one of my many fashion problems, and hopefully one of yours too


It is hard to say when fashion began, a thousand years ago, two thousand, probably even further. Either way fashion is here, and here to stay, but who says what is fashionable? I can not say what is fashionable, but I can say what I think is fashionable. At a young age I began to take notice of what was in style, even if I was forced to wear my sisters hammy downs. As a college student on the San Francisco State campus I am introduced to many forms of fashion. On Whitnee's Fashion Corner blog I am going to attempt to break down fashion, and help you better understand that fashion is not limited to the big city.
Each season "someone" claims what the new "in" item or items are, for example I just heard that light denim is now in for the spring season, I find light denim gross, but that is just me. Vogue magazine has posted on their website the top ten best dressed for the week, and it got me thinking who picks these top ten style winners? Obviously, the people at Vogue make the final decision of the top ten, but who says that they know what style is? On the list, no where is there a reason as to why the ladies or gentlemen made it to the top ten. So style is a personal opinion, some people may love light denim tops, as said above I think it they are hideous, so hopefully this blog will help give you an insight to fashion, and into my personal fashion opinion. Please comment and let me know what you think, I am open to change!
