6.24.2012 What I Wore Today: Jordan

Hey guys, it's Jordan. Again with the late post; sorry about that. I'll really try to do better tomorrow. But actually, I didn't change until a bit later in the day anyways, since I was really just lazing around. I was way too lazy to really want to do anything. We're lucky I put my contacts in. Some days I don't. Not at all.

Here's a bit of a closer view of the neckware (word?) today. I stacked a couple of necklaces on top of each other, and then went with it. I wasn't too careful about anything; I honestly just wanted something comfy to laze around the house in. Here's what I used today:

Black Tee: My Dad

'Mudd' Graphic Tank: Khols

Merona Jeans: Khols

Scarf (Unknown Manufacturer): Target

Paid In Full Necklace: School Donation Shop

Black Beaded Necklace: Myself

And that's it for today. Hope you guys have a good rest of the night, and I'll see you tomorrow!

6.20.2012 What I Wore Today: Jordan

Hey everybody! How's it going with all of you guys today? I hope good. 

I really like the way today's What I Wore Today outfit turned out. It seemed to me that the last couple of days had been a bit more casual; not that much going on. Though today I really liked the way it turned out. Not over the top or anything like that, just really pulled together in an overall nice way. Of course, I'm extremely biased though. I'm pretty sure you could tell. ;)

And again with the purple. I know I keep telling you guys that it's not my favorite color. But it does look nice on me. I have green eyes though, so they actually compliment each other really well. Once, when I got my hair cut, they gave me complimentary make up. I don't normally wear make up or eyeshadow, but when I did, I would use my favorite colors, or a color that I thought would match the outfit. I learned that isn't the way that it need to be done. What you need to do is match it so that it compliments your skin, eyes, and hair. And she chose purple for me. And it looked good. Ever since then, I've been a bigger fan of purple than I was before.

I was also stacking the necklaces again, like I've been doing for the past few days. It's been a part of my daily outfit for a while now, and I really like the way it looks.

But let's move onto the pieces themselves.

'SO' Basic Tee: Khols

'SO' Black Jacket: Khols

'Mudd' Hat: Khols

Belt (Unknown Manufacturer): Khols

'Union Bay' Cargo Shorts: Khols

Oil Stain on Shorts: Costa Rica

'Lounge' Leopard and Lace Tank: Maurices

Typewriter Monogram Necklace: Etsy

Beaded Necklace: Myself

Shirt Concept/Color Scheme

Hey everybody! I'm here again. Jordan that is. And this time I have another sneak preview of the line for you guys. This is my idea book. It's filled with sketches, clippings, and color ideas. Sometimes some of the stuff that is in this is kind of random. A lot of people might not really get the way I do things, but that's the way I work. On this page, there are a couple shirt concept ideas, an idea that I might work with a pair of shorts, and a color pallet idea. Not really sure where this one is going to go overall, but sometimes I just have to sketch.

This morning I woke up at seven o' clock in the morning and just had this idea for a fashion design. Then I started sketching, and came up with about four or five concepts. Every time I would draw a piece, I would come up with another idea. And I drew a few 2nd drafts as well. After a few drafts, then you start to realize what it is that you want the piece to look like. The first draft is normally nothing like the final draft. At least not to me it's not. For example, the piece I'm showing you above (the tank with the bow) is in it's first draft stage. I look at that right now, and am already coming up with other ways that I could do that. To make it more unique. 

I just don't know how to put that into sketch form yet. I know that it sounds kind of weird, but sometimes I have ideas that I simply cannot express. It's the same way with my thoughts on everyday life. If somebody asks me a very difficult question that takes a lot of thought, I might pause for some time before I finally am able to respond. I have to develop the ideas in my mind; find a way for it all to make sense. I don't want to end up saying something that I don't mean. And I want to be understood. Sometimes that's how I feel about my art. And my fashion design. I can't express the thoughts before they are fully developed in my brain. It just doesn't work.
