Personal Narrative: Striped Dress

321 Words1 Page

Hot days are taking over Charlottesville and summer classes have finally started. As a result, dresses and sunglasses are taking over grounds and I can’t say I’m hating it! I ran into this adorable Fashionista and immediately loved her outfit; I could see myself in everything she was wearing and the little details in her outfit stood out as well.

The most obvious piece of her outfit, and what caught my eye first, is her striped, short-sleeved dress. The best thing about a striped dress is that it’s extremely versatile and comfortable. This Fashionista had the right idea when she picked a dress with curved hemline. Striped dresses can feel monotonous with the wrong silhouette but hers look fun and flirty just through a change in the shape.

  • The Art Deco Image

    Women have spent a large amount of time throughout the 20th century fighting for liberation from a patriarchal form that told them that they must be quiet and loyal to their husbands and fathers. For the duration of this essay, I will be discussing how the “Modern Woman” image that appeared through the Art Deco style — that emulated ideas such as the femme fatale and masqueraded woman, and presented new styles to enhance women’s comfortability and freedom — is still prevalent and has grown in contemporary art and design since. Overall I will describing to you how fashion, sexuality, and the newly emerged ‘female gaze’, and how these tie in together — in both periods of time — to produce what can be described as powerful femininity.

  • Vintage Garment Analysis Essay

    823 Words  | 2 Pages

    On the twenty-first of August, our Wearable History class took a trip to downtown Bowling Green, to visit Mosaic Confinement Studio. The studio had an old-fashioned vibe, and was like a vintage-garment haven. There, we were asked to choose a piece that we thought was vintage, identify the time period it actually came from, and also take some additional notes on the style and the garment’s details. After searching through multiple racks, the first piece I found was a lace blazer. It turned out to only be vintage-inspired, so I went searching again. I came across a few other pieces, but nothing was really jumping out at me. Eventually, I came across a lavender dress that immediately made me think of Julia Roberts in “Mystic Pizza”, and I knew I found my garment.

  • Cultural Identity In Art

    As I have already mentioned, she tended to fixate on the same color scheme. Also, Red Star incorporated feathers, tassels, or fringes into each and every dress. The use of these materials, especially the feathers, could have been influenced from her time spend on the Crow reservation. I enjoyed these additions to the dresses because it provided them with texture and allowed for movement. A few of Red Star’s dress designs were a bit complex. One of them was red, black, and white, included three different patterns, and incorporated fringes. Another dress that stood out to me was red blue and white. The red and white sections on the back had a feathery texture. The top of this dress was silky blue and included bells. The entire front was covered in fringes and was significantly shorter than the back of the dress. There is a strong cultural aspect in the dresses designed by Red Star, which was influenced by her own cultural experiences and traditions. Red Star has a special talent, which gives her the ability to make all of these different textures and patterns collaborate with each

  • Personal Narrative: Little Laces

    On a long car ride when I was about six year old, I created an entire imaginary world called “Little Laces”. To this day I am not quite sure how or why I came up with this alternate universe within my head, but it stuck. I spent at least a year explaining in great detail to my family members, teachers, and friends the inhabitants of “Little Laces”, and I wouldn’t just make things up on the spot. There was no question or challenge that I didn’t have a response for.There were definitive kingdoms, characters, and conflicts captured in some labyrinthine area of my brain that I --with the help of my parents-- would record with great detail into tiny notebooks and sheets of scrap paper. By the time I was ten years old, I had grown out of constantly

    40-30, first serve, match point. As the ball reaches the apex of its trajectory, the muscles in my legs uncoil as I spring up from a crouched position to meet the ball with one fluid motion. The contact feels solid, and I watch as the magnus effect curves the fuzzy yellow ball towards the T. As my opponent reaches futilely towards the perfectly placed serve, I am rushed with excitement and happiness. And then it faded. I was now in the dark, listening to the harsh beep of the alarm clock, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, grasping for the ephemeral feeling of euphoria.

  • Personal Narrative-The Color Of Color

    Sitting at my desk, I eagerly looked at my apple coloring sheet. It had a giant letter A in the top right corner and APPLE written across the bottom. I could not wait to color it. I slid my red crayon out of the box and began coloring. As I proudly finished coloring the red, I felt a tug on the back of my head. I ignored it, maybe he wouldn’t do it again if I pretended it didn’t bother me. I reached for my box of crayons and he pulled my hair again. This time it hurt more. I whipped my head around and whispered, “Could you please not do that? It hurts.” Then I turned forward. I thought to myself, “That’s strike one.” I returned the red crayon to the box and took the brown one out. Then it happened again, a sharp pull this time. Annoyed, I turned

  • Personal Narrative: My Secret Place

    1183 Words  | 3 Pages

    Once upon a time, I saw the world like I thought everyone should see it, the way I thought the world should be. I saw a place where there were endless trials, where you could try again and again, to do the things that you really meant to do. But it was Jeffy that changed all of that for me. If you break a pencil in half, no matter how much tape you try to put on it, it'll never be the same pencil again. Second chances were always second chances. No matter what you did the next time, the first time would always be there, and you could never erase that. There were so many pencils that I never meant to break, so many things I wish I had never said, wish I had never done. Most of them were small, little things, things that you could try to glue back together, and that would be good enough. Some of them were different though, when you broke the pencil, the lead inside it fell out, and broke too, so that no matter which way you tried to arrange it, they would never fit together and become whole again. Jeff would have thought so too. For he was the one that made me see what the world really was. He made the world into a fairy tale, but only where your happy endings were what you had to make, what you had to become to write the words, happily ever after. But ever since I was three, I remember wishing I knew what the real story was.

    My eyes were deteriorating fast since I started using Tumblr. Driving to school past the park I came to terms it was autumn my favourite season: Trees almost naked with every branch bare, hearing the sound of rustling when people stomping through a crowd of crunchy leaves, though when the wind breathes it accelerates a leafy tornado swirling in a circular motion, smelling a fresh batch of rain from minutes ago and seeing the glistening as the biggest star made I admired. I use to walk to school every morning before my mum left us. Dropping Kaylee off at school I took a right turn where Jessica insisted to meet by the cascade fountain. I parked and by squinting my eyes I could already see she was dressed impressively kooky today. A jacket duplicating the print of a burgundy floral couch, vintage purple satin blouse with J’s scattered all over in different colours, an eagle bolo tie, the stripy snazzy saffron skirt, suede slip on shoes and to compliment her rouge knitting glasses someone had gifted. She ran to me.
