I really enjoy the blogging assignment. I started journaling as a kid, and I’ve blogged before so this is nothing new to me; however, certain aspects are new. For example, having to blog almost every day in order to fill the “quota” assigned is a little daunting, but I do enjoy it so far. Also new is trying to stick to one topic. Before and even now, I would blog about things going on in my life, as well as my chosen “class assignment topic” of fashion, but this time it is an assignment, and there is a topic at hand that is to be (loosely) adhered to. Sometimes I find myself just Googling whatever comes to mind in order to keep the blog somewhat fresh and interesting. I think one challenge of this assignment is letting go and giving my opinions. I am so used to having to back up what I say for assignments with facts that I have to remember that this isn’t that kind of assignment. I enjoy putting in links, videos, and pictures, and I will try to remember to say more in the future and not just summarize the topic or link at hand.
Right now I'm trying to cover most general bases of fashion-related topics, from men's and women's all the way to teens and interesting articles or videos I've found. I think the way teens and young adults dress is interesting because it begs the question, why do they do it? I'm also interested in controversies in fashion, for example, all the lawsuits that Abercrombie and Fitch have had filed against them.
Maybe a narrowing of topic will form eventually... I look forward to finding out.
