Bittersweet Maternity

IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT ME
         Becoming an adult as soon as you're getting ready to graduate is one thing and another is being pregnant your whole entire senior year. I will be attending college in the fall because I now have to set an example for my little one. I have excluded myself out of many events like the senior trips. I told myself that I wouldn't miss prom which is the only party I would "fit in".  Being eighteen, in a relationship for three years, and engaged it's a lot and having a baby is the most responsible of them all. At only eighteen i've had to change my mind set and say that what I do is not  only for me but for "him" too. I am thankfully blessed with a good working young man who I don't have to struggle with in order to keep the roof over our heads. Growing up I really didn't have a father figure and that will not happen to my kids because I have too much pride in my own little family...

Style Journal

Style #1: I am wearing a long black pencil skirt dress. This represents the future because the color black is always going to be worn. This dress is very versatile you can wear it for a business meeting, and interview, at the club, or even to hang around with some comfortable shoes.

Style #2: I am wearing a color blocked one-strap shirt. The material is really soft and comfortable. These three colors royal blue, green, and black are very often matched together for a nice abstract look. This fits into the future because of the way the shirt is designed, made, and worn, especially how the color blocked background makes the shirt pop out.

Style #3: I am wearing a dark purple peplum with sequencing at the collar. This blouse is sheer and transparent. The fashion in the future will always have revealing material to complement a girl’s body. This kind of purple seems very cosmic and matches with anything. The sequence at the collar gives it a nice look because a necklace or jewelry in general won't have to be worn.

Style #4: This look is a long sheer blouse with black and white vertical lines. This shirt is futuristic like because stripes always in style and they always come back. Fashion is known to repeat it self and this is a good example of what the future fashionista’s would wear to go out.

Style #5: My jean jacket is one of the most repeating fashion favorites. It’s denim and goes great with a white plain shirt and some leggings. People can use this to go to the gym, for a nice spring day out, a picnic, or even to wear a hoodie under. This fashion find will always be in style because it’s very comfortable.

Style #6:My Professional blazer with the pointy shoulders are a good example of the term futuristic. Pointy shoulders give your wardrobe a cool look especially if you’re wearing heels or even some oxfords. In this look I'm wearing a long black high low shirt with the pointy blazer, some jeans, and oxfords. This look can be worn to go to school, not much for a meeting, but good enough to hang out with friends on a spring day.

Style #7: This black suede skater dress represents the future because of its dark and shiny look. This dress looks much like a figure skaters style. I love the color and the way it looks. The dress is flowy and very comfortable. You can wear this to go out to a party.

Style#8: This Blouse-dress is long and good to wear with leggings. Its long sleeved and has two buttons on the neck to adjust how wide the shirt will go at the bust area. This style is futuristic because of the color yellow and black. This shirt goes great with black Leggings and brown booties.

Style #9: Dresses will always be in style especially this nice black one. This can be a good future style because you can wear it almost everywhere semi formal. The dress goes great with sandals, high heels, booties, and even some chucks.

Style #10: In the future most girls will become pregnant and must need a very comfortable and cute tank top shirt dress. This horizontal black and white maternity shirt can be worn anywhere and at any time. It’s very simple, goes great with shorts, leggings, or even as a pajama shirt.
