Who ever thought that the little tacky girl waiting to catch the bus would be a step closer to pursuing her dreams? Being a Fashion Marketing student at The Art Institute of Charlotte is something that I never would have thought. Not because I couldn’t go to college, I just didn’t think that I would be attending an art school instead of a university. Fashion has always been apart of my life. From helping my mother sew a wedding dress whenI was little to most beautiful creation and my new found love: SHOES!!!
Why not attend a school that can help me get to where I need to go?
Just like a young fresh high school graduate i thought that school would be a breeze and easy with little problems. Most definitely this place can have its rewards and downfalls. I was in for a rude awakening. This school is a very special place and only for the gifted. If I was not able to learn anything else I learned enough lessons to last me a life time. I have dealt with people from all walks of life, it has been very interesting. I have had teachers that could not keep up with their own brains let alone school work, and couldn't remember anything to save their lives. On the flip side I have had teachers, or shall I say just one, that opened my eyes and made me want to think even more outside the box. Ai is not a place for slackers and procrastinators, that I was. There are times when I can really say that I wanted to say “F this” and leave school. I couldn't. I want to do so much with me, quitting was not an option. The teachers here have experience and background in some of the courses that I am taking. That is one thing I can say I absolutley love about this place. I hate this school, I love this school. The Art Institute, Ms. M, Mr. Watson, Ms. Taylor, Mr. Thomas, Mrs. Brockman, and Mrs. Begum are some of the best teachers, individuals, and adviser's that I have had the pleasure of knowing.
Business woman of the year has just arrived. A cute floral ruffeled shirt is wonderful with any pant but is beautiful with a pencil skirt. Flirty but structured is the idea for this. The colors red, coral and black dominate the floral patterns in the shirt. Paired with a black pencil skirt this is the perfect outfit for a day at the office. Red platform pumps, simple red hoop earrings, and a red bowling bag set of the outfit.
Sensual and Sassy. Not nasty and trashy. Evening wear, by some, is always thought of as the "club hoochie." We want to steer some away from that thought. You can still be sexy and be clothed at the same time. Pairing the same shirt from business wear with a pair or wdie leg jeans is a great start. Finishing up the outfit with a pair of black peep toe pumps and a pair of black dangle earrings gives the sexy and confident feel.
Weeknds are for fun. Why not look like it? Enjoy the weekend with a colorful graphic tee and some wide leg pants. Picking a color out of the shirt or deciding to use all the colors in the shirt for matching your accessories is a plus. For those that really like doing their own thing and stepping outside the box, add a cute denim or grey vest to the mix. Who says you can't be comfortable and fashionable?
