Life as a Fashion Merchandise Major

I have been a student at Ball State University for four years now, and I am quickly approaching graduation in May.  When I first enrolled as a freshmen, I decided that I wanted my major to be business administration; I was told that's where the money is.  After a year of business and math classes I found out that was not what I wanted to be studying for three more years; it just didn't fit me as a person.  I ended up switching my major to fashion merchandise my sophomore year, and have been a student in the fashion program ever since. I find this area of study to be very intriguing and stimulating to the mind, which most people think the opposite about "fashion."  As a student in the fashion program at Ball State, I have had opportunities to take courses that will prepare me for future endeavors in the fashion industry.  I can definitely say that a highlight of my career as a fashion student would have to be the promotions fashion show that my class put on this semester.  By having the chance to actually put on a fashion show, I learned so much about what it takes to have a successful production.  I also learned that communication is the main key to having a successful event, because working with people of all different walks of life can be stressful and that's where communication comes in. I have taken several courses within this major, but there was one in particular that sparked my interest, and that was an introduction to sewing. I had never sewn before so this was all very new to me.  As a requirement for this class I had to construct my own garment from scratch.  The finished product turned out to be a success for me; I never thought that sewing would interest me.  I have to say that the fashion program at this institution (Ball State) is one of superb quality and should be ranked nationally.

Constructive Criticism

This blog is very different from the other blogs that I have previously posted.  I have the opportunity to view one of my classmates' blog page and express my thoughts about it.  I decided to use my group leaders blog to review because I knew I would be in for a treat.  When looking over her blog, I discovered that she focused on "warm clothing" for the upcoming winter season.  The blog was very well put together, the pictures on her blog were detailed and were cohesive with what she was saying in the blog itself.  I also thought that it was a good idea for her to talk about winter wear, especially since winter is quickly approaching!! I feel that I should also discuss some fashion possibilities for this upcoming winter season as well. It is very important to make sure you dress appropriately during the winter season; with that being said, lets take a look at some warm accessory options for both men and women.

These illustrations show various options of how hats, scarves, and gloves can be worn fashionably and still serve its purpose of keeping you warm.  Some people tend to think that wearing a hat or a pair of gloves takes away from the fashion aspect, but I beg to differ.  As you can see from these pictures, there are all types of winter accessories that can accent an ensemble rather than take away from it.  I encourage you to invest in winter wear for this season and stay  as warm as possible!
