Ball State Fall Fashion

To describe Ball State University's fashion I would say it is comfortable but cute. I found three female students that demonstrate how I see the student population's dresses.

My first student Kayla is a Senior. In this picture she is wearing a zip up sweatshirt, a tie-dyed tank top, jeans and boots. She stated that she love the tank she was wearing because it was cute and colorful but extremely comfortable. 
She said that the way she would describe her fashion would be quick and comfortable but still know that she is presentable if need be. She wouldn't feel uncomfortable standing in front of a group the way she was dressed.
All together I would say that Kayla's boots and jeans are staples in most college students fall wardrobe.
 The next student I bumped into was Chelsea. I have class with her and she is always dressed cute even when she is not trying. Today she said she wasn't trying and did not feel cute.
I really liked her outfit because it shows how important layering is during the cooler weather. She is wearing a hat, a pink scarf, a gray t-shirt, a white zip up fleece, jeans, and sequin tennis shoes.
Even though she said she was not trying she still had fashion pieces that made her trendy but still comfortable. I think this important even when someone doesn't care it still makes them fell pulled together.

Sarah was my last person and she is my example of a more dressy comfortable. She even stated that she was more dressed up today than she normally dresses. 
She was wearing a purple and gold scarf, a red sweeter, a white tank, jeans, and black boots. She also is showing the layering that is worn by many students due to the temperature inside and outside being different. 
Scarfs are a staple in most female wardrobe. Its an accessory as well as functional.

Fashion Week



What to say about fashion week? It is exciting! I don’t know if I can say more than that. To be able to see what designers are planning on having out for next year as well as seeing some of the “out there” designs that make you think gets me super excited.  


The picture to the left is Lela Rose and one of my favorite pieces I saw while looking through designers lines. There were also layered pieces over it, like sweaters, as well as the necklace she is wearing in the picture. The color is what got my attention right off but how much I feel you can do with the dress also made me continue to keep coming back to it.
The colors in this line by Lela Rose were beautiful. They are pieces I can't wait to be able to own myself.

Please take the time to look at all the great fashions that Lela Rose showed this year.





My favorite color right now in fashion is navy blue. Tommy Hilfiger is all about navy as well and always has been. I personally liked that all his navy's are a long the same tone so the line flowed smoothly even though not everything was all navy. Some only had a touch.
After looking through all his pieces it made me want to go shopping as well as take a vacation. To me having clothing take you some where is a great thing! Tommy did that for me.

Have a look at his line on Womens Wear Daily and see if it gives you the same feeling!







After looking at the clothing the other thing that I wanted to talk about was fashions night out.  I had heard about this event before but I feel like this year it was made a bigger deal than other years. It is held on the Friday of fashion week. After working in retail for the last few years I have seen first hand how much the fashion industry needs help. Making a night to look good and go out and shop to help encourage full price shopping is how the Fashions Night Out website explains the event. It is held through out the world at all different stores.
On Tuesday, Septemeber 14 on CBS they are going to have a special on the night. Please visit the website to learn more http://www.fashionsnightout.com/
