MFJ (My Fashion Journal) Day 1

Last August 24, I started to draft my so-called "fashion journal." Just like the rest of you out there, I am a frustrated fashion designer, who, never had the chance to take up any fashion course, design or whatsoever. It is merely an expression of myself which I put into good use, I'd like to believe. I figured I can't become a famous fashion designer overnight, why not compile all the inspirations, daily reflections and output of my day on day by activities so to speak as a mother, a wife, daughter, sister, friend, niece, you name it, I'd like to shout out everything I wanna say.

i apologize for the images, they were just taken from my phone.
sketch one:
This is a Zingara style top made with dark purple satin with black lace ruffled from the collar.

I just turned 28 and I'm stuck with this piece of draft. All my crayons and materials flow all over. As I started to open one of my favorite Fashion Technical references by page one, the book is entitled 'Fashion Source Technical Design.' turning through every page just seem to pop out images after the other in my mind that I got too excited, mind you its 2 a.m and I'm still awake.


sketch 2: its the Little brown DRESS: lace tube dress overlaid with very thin flowy coat.

I'd like to take it as a day to day self contemplation. Again, I said this Fashion journal is not talking about clothes or how to dress up, it is merely a layout of my insights and yes, I get to express it in my designs.

sketch 3: the debutante dress in the shortest way way.. pink satin, with lace layered over tulle garnished with black satin belt with buttons on the side.

Here are the 3 firsts ... Happy inspiration!!!
