Boots with the fur!

Hey, Paige here. So last week I talked about what jeans were most popular today. This week I am going to be discussing what shoe’s should be worn.  Normally I do not select a specific Store that sells the items I am discussing but today I am going to switch it up. I’m going to do so because Journey’s is the best store to find what shoe’s are “in.” I feel like Journey’s is always one step ahead. They always seem to have the newest brand out before other retail stores. Journey’s is expensive to me, so I normally wait until the shoe becomes a little more popular so I can buy it from other retail stores.

 The first shoe I will be discussing today is MOCCASINS. These are my favorite. I just recently got a pair and I wear them as often as I can. They feel like slippers; nice, warm, and comfy. I wouldn’t suggest wearing them when standing or walking for a long period of time. They have a flat base and because of that it makes them uncomfortable to wear under those circumstances. Also they are not the most ideal shoe to wear in snow.  I haven’t tried spraying my moccasins with water repellant,  but the shoes do get wet very easily so I would suggest not wearing them, at least not in deep snow.

The second shoe I will be discussing is the short classic Ugg. Now, they do not have to be the brand “Ugg”. I think the brand is personally a little over priced but it was the first brand that popped up as being “in” this fall. The shoe be found in many other stores like “Shoe Show” or “Payless” or any other lower priced store and find short boots. I know Walmart, Kmart, and Target have them as well. So don’t think if they are not Ugg there not in style. I just purchased a pair of Bear Claw short boots, they were expensive. I didn’t pay for them. My mom bought them for me for winter. Those are also another expensive brand. Last year I bought a pair of boots for 20 bucks from Old Navy.  

Those are two of the most popular shoes to wear right now. There are a couple other sandals that are popular but do to the weather change I think we need to start switching to fall fashion.

What's hot (Part 2)

 

Okay, so last week I talked about what shirts are popular right now, today I am going to talk about what JEANS are “in”. It'll be surprising to see what jeans came from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s; just like the shirts I introduced last week.

The first type of jean I will be talking about is the “skinny”. When I went to google to find some information about these jeans, I was surprised on what I found. The skinny’s originated from the 50’s! Guess who strutted them first, Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe! There were a few others but these were people who surprised me.  The skinny jean use to be called the “drainpipe” jean. People who wore them back then were thought to be rebels or punks. The same idea is thought to be true today. What people do not realize is the jean is becoming popular for all types of styles. A lot of women are wearing this type of jean today to show off what their momma gave them.  (:  I personally do not like the jean on myself. The only time I wear them is when I wear my boots. They make it easier to slip my boots on and off. The jean looks great with just about any shoe though. Wedge heel, flats, converse, flip-flop, moccasins.

The next type of jean is the FLARE. This is my absolutely favorite jean of all time. This jean was first worn in the 60’s! It was known as the “bell bottom” jean.  The flare jean has changed a little since its bell bottom days but it still has the same concept; it gives a curvy look. I don’t have much of a curve so that is why I like to where them. These jeans too, look good with any type of shoe.  

Thirdly is the bootcut or “straight leg”. Some might think that they are the same as skinny jeans but they are not. They are a mix between skinny and the flare jean. This is for people who do not like a lot of flare or think the skinny jean is too tight at the ankle. The boot cut jean was invented in the 50’s! That is the oldest jean so far. Back then it was probably the easiest way the make jeans. The boot cut get’s its name “straight-leg” because of exactly how it sounds. The leg of the jean is completely straight all the way down. Most men wear this style of jean.

What's hot!

Hi, Paige here!

I am going to be talking about FASHION.I love to watch how trends change. It is funny too because everyone thinks whatever is in is the newest thing and in reality it is not new at all. Many of today’s trends are from the 80’s and 90’s. So for anyone who thinks their parents are not cool; they might want to start asking their parents for some clothing advice. I always like to stay up to date with what the hottest thing out. I do not always like what’s “in” but it helps me come up with my own design.

If it hasn't become obvious yet, I am going to be talking about what’s the latest thing to be wearing today and where it came from. I am going to start from head to toe, so I might have a couple “continued” blogs from this one.

First I want to talk about a couple shirts; Crop top, Pull over and Poncho

These tops are all similar. I personally would wear each one. I currently own two of these shirts and I think they are really comfortable. People might think the names are funny but each of them originated from their names.

 The “Crop Top” came from the 90’s! It was formerly called the “belly shirt” and girls who use to wear it use to get weird looks but look around now, almost everyone is wearing one. Okay, maybe their not that cool but isn’t it crazy how things change? These shirts I would suggest wearing a camisole underneath. I personally feel they look better with an undershirt.

The “Pull over” came from the came from the 90’s as well. The pull over and crop top were both popular at the same time in the 90’s. The picture shown of the pull over is just an example. Not all of them have to be sweater material; some are just like t-shirt material. I love these shirts. They are comfortable and less form fitting, which is what I like most about them.

 









 The “Poncho” came from the 70’s. When people think of poncho’s they might think of: rain ponchos, or the ones that a persons head does through; that looked like a rug. As someone might see they have really changed with time. These go along with the pull over. They are also comfortable and are perfect for less form fitting look. These are just some of the popular shirts that are out. Next week I will be discussing what jeans or bottoms are most popular right now.
