College Fashion Week has got me thinking about a lot more than clothes. This fall season has kept me captivated with an ambitious schedule with a lack of alone time. I have had little time for sleep let alone giving my street style the attention needed to properly evolve.
But somewhere among all of the chaos, I got invited to New York College Fashion Week. And for the first time in awhile, I got to focus on creating myself as an individual.
This year, College Fashion Week, hosted by HerCampus, partnered up with Primark to put on an amazing fashion show. Each show featured the diversified ways that you can incorporate Primark’s affordable pieces into your daily life while still ensuring you stand out. I took a lot of inspiration from the street style options and made a mental note to bring some of these trends into the Philly fashion world. Each of the Fashion Week shows re-inspired my passion for style and reminded me that I can use clothes to depict all of my ever-changing personas.
Before College Fashion Week, I journeyed outside of Philadelphia to the King of Prussia Mall. I was excited to explore Primark so that I could be ahead of the trends that would be headlining the HerCampus runways. If you’re going to a New York fashion show, you have to do it right. New clothes, new city, new me.
I couldn’t resist stocking up on everything from shoes to cardigans. Primark offered a great color selection and I was reminded that my style didn’t need to be as dreary toned as the Philadelphia weather. It’s been awhile since I let myself splurge on fashion and as embarrassing as it might be too admit, I spent hours in that mall. It was refreshing to be able to convert my style to fit the newest version of myself.
For College Fashion Week, I decided to keep it sleek and let my new army green joggers do most of the talking; Which I paired with lace up heels from my recent Canadian travel adventure. I felt unstoppable.
Fashion Week has reminded me, why I love fashion. It is important to remember that style isn’t just a form of self expression. It can also be a form of self love and minor therapy. Mixing my street style up can alter my mood, confidence and give me the extra courage that I need to take on a hard day.
It’s like my best friend always says, people may come and go but a good pair of shoes can last you a lifetime.
