Around one month ago I started to work on my summer holiday project for uni and I made it myself very hard to understand the assignments. Truly it s always easier to work after you got started, but it has been nearly 4 weeks that I have been trying to understand how I m going to work through the writing work.
Some people or better saying students can take it easy to write about fashion, art and fashion art. The smartest of them read besides magazines also books and papers; they click through umpteen blogs, go shopping and post, tweet or instagram their bargains. And if you start to talk to those fashion cultured people, you nearly seem to change your stand-up-pose to let-me-sit-down-and-think-about-where-i-ve-been-all-the-time. Desperately disappointed is my statement on that.
But, after thinking a while, lets assume you re not really (British)-English (I'm afraid); sitting around and trying to read a magazine is for you more a light torture than enjoyment, because you ve to look up every second word you don t understand, and wait, some words are also ungooglable. Why? 'Cause they re so IN that they ll be OUT in a second. You don t really like to shop, because you re annoyed to see again a 100% Acrylic jumper, but what you really wanted was something more GREEN. Probably I m just always entering the 'wrong' shops. And, well, ironically, if you feel so excited about shopping as I am, maybe it s better to do own garments. Would be actually quite a bit more fun to post couture, haute couture- how you would surely call your own design, and blog it proudly over street fashion.
This morning I would say let s start to read another post about "How to write a fashion critique" not only for university purpose but also to finally get a topic for the own -such creative- blog. How difficult. But, it s my lucky day, actually my enlightening day!
I just try to make the story as short as possible: I had been researching a fashion video called "Eastern Promise"-Marie Schuller until I found a blog. The thing is, it was not only a blog, it was the blog. The blog I needed to wake up and recognise that I don t need to start the first blog post with over 10 words. (Just don t count this one.) I don t have to comment every sentence i write, every picture I post and every thought I have. I have recognised that this blog should help me to develop. It should help me to recognise my interests, collect quotes that I think are important to remember and the blog is also my own inspirational place. That inspirational place which shows me my interest over a period of time; which helps to understand what I m really interested in or what I can do best. Writing is my weakness and it s not the best thing coming from me, but you re the reader and you read this post and only you re point of view is important at the end.
So, this post was long, halting and really confusing. What an impression when I think already like that, right?! But heh, everyone has to start somewhere to have a story told at the end.
Moving on and working hard, maybe this blog will sometime cheer you up.
