Hello!
I wore this two days ago but been too swamped with school work to be able to post :( It's also gotten bitterly cold here in Ohio quite earlier than I expected or remember. All I can see is the pain on my face in these pictures as the icy wind blows at me...yikes, not a fun day hence the minimal amount of pictures! Back to wearing two pairs of tights with all of my dresses ♥
Things have been good just hectic lately. At the end of the day nothing is better than just laying in my bed, daydreaming and staring at the glow in the dark stars above my head. I think we all need to do daydreaming sometimes just to keep sane. For one of my fashion classes I have 48 flats due by next Thursday. A flat is basically a very detailed design of a garment that is sent to the manufacturers so they know how to put together a designer's idea (here's an image of what they look like). You have to put seam lines, hems, darts, details, embellishments, ect, and also it has to be drawn proportionally and exact because if you mess up, then thousands of garments (or maybe even more) will be produced that way.
Even though I'm in merchandising and flats are technically a designer's forte, I'm taking a required visuals class where I have to design my own collection with 24 original flats (but front and back). I'm nervous because up until a few weeks ago I didn't even know what a flat was, and frankly I've never even done one yet. They take hours to do; coming up with the design, perfecting it, then tracing it in ink. If you smudge, you have to start completely over. Even though it'll be a difficult assignment and one that is certainly going to test me, I'm ready for the challenge and am excited to expand my abilities. So, if you don't see me much this coming week, know it's because I am throwing my life into those darn flats!
Hope you all are swell ♥
With much love, Lauren.
