About me

My favorite thing to do is workout and shop. Working out and shopping are my getaway from reality. Being in the gym and feeling the gains helps me tremendously become more confident in myself but it also helps me become less anxious. My anxiety can get bad sometimes so if I feel it getting worse I may bring myself to go workout or go to the nearest thrift store and shop. Shopping online or at a thrift store are my go to’s for shopping. I tend to stay away from retail stores and or malls because I never truly find anything I like and online the sales and discounts are the best. I have a dog, her name is Hazel Grace from the “Fault In Our Stars”. She is a german shepard, and she is so well behaved. She barks non-stop though, that’s her only downfall.
In the future I want to have my own clothing brand where I am able to give an outlook on how I see fashion and become a really big designer like Virgil. When I think of fashion, I don’t think of what brand the piece of clothing is or how much it costs, I picture myself wearing it and how I would feel in it. When it comes to me and putting clothes on I want to be comfortable, but still show my own style. I want to be able to wear outside of the box pieces because they look cool, not get judged by others. Wearing whatever I want has allowed me to not worry as much about what others think of what I wear, and I started focusing on myself and what makes me happy.

Things I do to Improve my Mental Health through Fashion!

Image
Mental health is something that can be very tiring on somebody, or it can make you anxious to walk into a crowded room. It can make you second guess yourself to wear you lose confidence in your appearance. I’ve experienced many situations where my mental health caused me to lose confidence in myself to the point where I didn’t want to go out in public. Something that has helped me overcome my anxiety is dressing how I want to, to my standards. Growing up I was told “if you look good you play good” and I always thought it was just something all the older people told me before my games. I may not have applied it to the basketball court but I did apply it to my life and it has helped with my anxiety immensely. Wearing what I like and what I want allows me to be the most comfortable and confident in my own skin. The photo of me was from a week ago and I was low on confidence, but going outside and taking these pictures did boost my confidence because I liked the outfit and the pictures e

Ageism

Image
Ageism is an overlooked way of being prejudiced. You look at somebody because of their age, and tell them off the rip that they are too young or too old for the job without giving them any sort of opportunity to showcase what exactly they can do. I am going to be talking about how ageism affects fashion, and how it can also impact somebody's mental health. In the industry of fashion, it is very important to fit the right age group. You never want to be too young because you may not know as much as somebody that has 5 more years of experience. Does that mean they know more than you or they are better at their job than you? No, it’s just something that holds value in the fashion industry. Those beliefs that only a certain age or amount of experience required may miss out on something that could be beneficial to them. Mentally it affects somebody because they are being shut down as for any other reason but age which could cause somebody to be overly stressed and even depressed.

Cultural Appreciation vs Appropriation

Image
The differences between Cultural Appreciation and Cultural Appropriation are very clear. Cultural appreciation is when a brand or a designer has an interest in something other cultures do or designs they have. That designer or brand takes time to educate themselves about what they have an interest in and show it the correct way, by advertising it with the people of the culture and so forth. Cultural appropriation is when a brand or designer steals designs from another culture without educating themselves beforehand. Those brands and designers disrespect a culture and the people of that culture. A brand that shows cultural appreciation is a luxury skin care brand that is owned by Ozohu Adoh called Epara. The brand came about because she suffered from persistent follicular eczema, and she started looking at the ingredients her African forbears used. She planned on having it as a commercially sold product but now it’s being sold in luxury stores. My opinion on the brand is that the
