Paisley

    Paisley isnt't the actual idea of what you thought she would look like. I know the proper term is "a pattern of curved feather like figures."- google. And as you can see there is nothing like that on this dress. She is quite plain actually. The name did catch my eye though because it reminded me of a bubbly fun person. Which is how I wanted to present Paisley. If my dresses were actually existant in some world I'd always would picture this dress in a fashion shoot where there are bright and colorful balloons and a girl in this dress with a smile on her face having fun with this dress.

  The term of Paisley means feathered curved figures and in a way this Paisley dress symbolizes the free spirited part of me that I've been dying to unleash. I wanted Paisley to capture the fun wild side. I also wanted her to bring out the confidence and happiness to anyone who ever wears her. Again I got my inspriration of  Paisley from my own style. I gave her a giant bow for boldness and to give her a more feminine touch. It's not completely inspired by my own fashion tastes, It's also inspired by my own alter ego. I know it sounds crazy to some and no I dont pretend to be someone that I'm not. It's just the person that I wish I could be on the inside and out. I'm actually the opposite of  Paisley shy, unconfident, afraid to step out my own comfort zone, and definitely NOT FREEE-SPIRITED! I also gave her a tutu like skirt at the end because I was trying to channel the girly side once again along with the ballerina. Since I'm a dancer I always get inspired by ballet costumes that I have previously worn or what I have seen In ballets, or costumes on pintrest. When your a dancer you get inspired through art and culture, and inspiration is all around you. Even a piece of a flower petal could inspired you to draw a dress or create a dance involving costumes with flowers. I gave Paisley a fun and bright orange because the dress itself is fun. I mean you got a giant bow, who doesn't like bows? and then you got a tutu and I know about half of you who read this know that in the back their head always wanted to be a ballerina at some point. I know I did! I wanted Paisley to give off the power of confidence, weather you have it or not, I want you to have it just for a day. Fashion can be like a super power. You can have the super power to define who you are, the super power to transform yourself, and the super powere to have confidence and be bold.

  So if you think about it, I sort of gave you the secret to enjoying life. Readers I want you to do me a favor today, No I want you to do me a couple of favors today. One look at something and get inspired . It can be anything nature, people, movies, books, art, or culture. After you have found your inspiration get ideas and think out of the box. Become an artist, and then come tell me if my advice worked. The second thing I want you to do is put on a piece of clothing, perferably something that is your favorite and see if you find something that makes you feel like you have a super power that I talked about. I want you to go out and change the world. I want you to go out and change your world and your attitudes. Find something that makes you smile and makes you feel invincible. That's why I draw because it makes me feel happy when I feel down, it insipires me, and I suddenly have a super power. Oh the power of paisley.
