There is a pivotal decision every person must make during his or her life. Each must choose between living what they love or simply working to live. And then there are the few who find a way to do both.
They say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.
My name is Lauren, and I'm a fashion junkie. I am not ashamed. Life is too short to be quiet any longer.
I've always loved clothes, even as a little girl. As I grew, my passion for fashion only intensified. I learned to spot a new trend seasons away, but always assumed everyone shared the same skill. But I learned that I was wrong. Anyone who watches The Style Channel's "How Do I Look" or reads Mr. Blackwell's "Worst Dressed List" knows that normal people and celebrities alike often fall prey to fashion mishaps. But how could I turn my fashion know-how and truthful, albeit sometimes brutal, honesty into a career?
I've always loved magazines, pouring over dozens every month, analyzing trends and colors, new designers and models, but how could I make a career out of a job that seemed as attainable as a front row seat during New York's fashion week, sitting next to Anna Wintor?
So that is where this column comes in.
Now, it must be said, I don't know everything (as my Biology professor can attest). Though when it comes to the pretty, sparkly, bold, glossy, new and different, I can actually lead the conversation instead of just nodding and looking interested.
This column is about the aforementioned adjectives. I want to have a discussion with the student body about trends, new designers, colors, shapes, prints, bags, shoes, belts, people, places, events, parties, makeup, hair, jewelry. You get the picture.
I'm happy to give you advice about all that I know and have devoted my time to figuring out and would love to hear what you think, too. I want to know what MTSU students love, what makes them happy to put on every morning and night, what trends they've spotted in Hollywood or on East Main Street.
