Fashion Star has gotten me thinking...
I really love fashion. As someone who doesn't fit into single-digit sizes yet, sometimes I've tried to pretend that I don't care about fashion. Sure, I get excited when I discover that something in my closet that I haven't been able to wear for a while fits once again. But a lot of designer clothes come in only smaller sizes, which can be depressing if you think about it too much.
Enter Fashion Star - a show trying to find the next big designers, who can be creative while still making something that we "regular" people can wear and afford. Let's face it, the economy does not help the fashion industry. Many of our budgets can not withstand the big designer prices, which I'm sure is the reason why some designers create special lines for the stores many of us can afford to shop at.
I've become inspired by the designers trying to live out their dreams, and have discovered that I would actually wear quite a few of their creations. I haven't shopped for any of them yet, since I'm losing more weight and don't want to spend money on something that will be too big soon. (Although, it's a wonderful feeling to find out something is now too big on you!)
But that also inspires me in another way - to stay on my path to fitness so I can wear these awesome clothes. Of course, there are much more compelling reasons to get fit and healthy...but fashion is still fun and we all want to look good. Being your best in every way is important, which includes looking your best.
Congratulations to Kara, the winner of Fashion Star, and all of the other designers who sold pieces to H & M, Saks, and Macy's. Soon I will be sporting your creations proudly - not only because I'm proud of your work on the clothes, but also because I'm proud of the work I've done on myself!
