FRIDAY FASHION SPECTRUM: Peplum and maxis in your summer closet
By Ari Black Chameleon Blogger The awkward in-between season of spring, summer and winter styles seems to cause up a stir in the closets of girls battling the constantly changing weather. Aside from this issue, it seems that typical styles are going out from last season, leaving fashionistas with confusion: what is still in and what is done with for the summer that lies ahead? The key to this season is to keep the concepts of last season’s styles, but update them with new components that add an innovative touch to the designs that we repeatedly saw throughout the more »
FRIDAY FASHION SPECTRUM: You are more beautiful than you think
By Ari Black Chameleon Blogger I am posting and writing about a video today that I believe all women (and even men) should see. I believe the topic of this Dove Beauty Campaign video parallels with fashion because personal appearance is something everyone worries about. Though clothes and top trends are fun to experiment with in the fashion world, it is important to remember what really matters: the confidence and self-awareness of individual beauty truly makes every human being magnificent. As I watch this video, it brings me back to the message that my mom repeatedly taught me throughout my more »
FRIDAY FASHION SPECTRUM: Stay stylish at summer music festivals
By Ari Black Chameleon Blogger In honor of the Lollapalooza selling out, I felt that it was the perfect time to share some of my favorite sites for clothes to wear to events like this. From festivals to concerts, I find that it is hard for girls to balance laying out appropriate yet still daring outfits for these situations. In this post, I will show some possible article choices that should be considered for the variety of upcoming festivals this summer, as well as pointing in more of a broad direction to websites where looks like these can be more »
FRIDAY FASHION SPECTRUM: DIY- Bleached High Rise Shorts
By Ariahna Black Chameleon Blogger Last spring I became obsessed with the high-rise shorts look. Every time I went shopping, I found myself walking into Urban Outfitters disappointed that the shorts were were clearly over priced at $70 and out of my student budget. No other stores had as authentic-looking Levi’s as Urban, and it was frustrating to consider spending over 200 dollars on three pairs (the minimum number I would buy for my summer wardrobe ahead.) Surprisingly, my mom gave me an interesting suggestion. She told me to go to Good Will and buy a pair of pants more »
FRIDAY FASHION SPECTRUM: Inspiring Music Video Fashion
By Ari Black Chameleon Blogger This week I decided to switch it up with an alternative approach in showing some of my favorite music videos that display unique and modern styles. Musical artists Lana del Rey and Rihanna are spot on when it comes down to outfits. They top it off with music that goes hand in hand with their fashion senses. Along with looking at the artists for inspiration, the music itself serves as an inspiration for my personal outfit choices. I will go into more detail with specific songs later that will hopefully inspire you, as well, more »
FRIDAY FASHION SPECTRUM: Chic Style Profile- Alex Schmidt
By Ari Black Chameleon Blogger In a city with many cultures, practices, and people, I thought it was simply necessary to feature a unique and daring type of style this week to keep the diverse consistency alive: chic fashion. I have not encountered much of this specific style in my past years of observation among city life in San Francisco and LA, though I have seen much more of it present in Chicago. No one displays this look better than one of my good friends and extremely fashionable students at Loyola University of Chicago, Alex Schmidt. Whether it is more »
FRIDAY FASHION SPECTRUM: Bringing styles back from the past
By Ari Black Chameleon Blogger Vintage styles have begun to flourish in the world of fashion. From hair bows to high-rise jeans, it is needless to say that a stylish blast from the past is occurring. The greatest benefit of these new trends is the fact that a thrift shop is a general location for vintage heaven. The cheaper the prices mean the older the clothing. The older the clothing means the more authentic the look. It is a win- win situation for all. Even modern day artists such as Macklemore are taking their looks back with thrift shop more »
FRIDAY FASHION SPECTRUM: Going-out fashion in the winter months
By Ari Black Chameleon Blogger I grew up in California where even mild winters would provide a time period when hibernation on weekends became acceptable. Sixty-degree weather called for a sweatshirt, snow was unheard of, and rain caused a damper on the day. In other words, you could only imagine the struggle of moving to Chicago and the weather changes I have faced at my new home thus far. My first weekend going out in Chicago with snow on the ground left me in awe that humans actually dare to step outside in the night hours when frostbite seems more »
FRIDAY FASHION SPECTRUM: Italian Style- Shiny Winter Jackets and Winter Fashion
By Sabrina Wottreng Chameleon Fashion Blogger Although the weather just got down to the 30’s and 40’s in Rome, the Italians have been in full on Winter gear for weeks now. A typical Chicago winter outfit consists of a North Face jacket, jeans, and boots for a guy or a Parka and an Ugg-like boot for girls. That is not a thing here in Rome. Donne – Women Italians never sacrifice fashion for function. Although I am not the biggest fan of these Shiny jackets, they are quite a big deal here. This puffy, shiny style can more »
FRIDAY FASHION SPECTRUM: How to stay warm but avoid frumpy fashion
By Lydia DeCoud Chameleon Fashion Blogger As November ends and the weather quickly drops, it is safe to finally say “Happy Holidays” and “Tis the Season!” In the past few weeks we’ve managed our stress with overeating those Thanksgiving leftovers and happily crossing assignments off of our to do lists. With just a few weeks left in our semester, 2012 is coming to a close, and I am here to suggest end it fashionably! I’ll precede the rest of this post by saying it is not necessary to walk the streets like a fashion model. Be comfortable in your more »
