Blog 5

Fashion blogger, Danielle Berstein started her blog, weworewhat.com, to inspire her readers by showing them a taste of New York City fashion from a native New Yorker's point of view. Soon, her blog became more about her own personal style rather than the random, fashionable people she took photos of. She has been featured many publications including Teen Vogue and Elle magazines.

Sweat pants or jeans? A question every girl asks when she wakes up for school. How you dress is directly linked to how people perceive you, but after long study nights and waking up early, it is nearly impossible to not dress like a slob. How can you resist a pair of your favorite athletic shorts when the alternative is a pair of tight, restricting, skinny jeans?

On the downside to dressing for comfort, people immediately assume you have all the aspects of a slob, physically and mentally (there's a reason why you wear pant suits to job interviews). It's worse when you're in school because the majority of the people there only see you as a laid back mess in sweat pants. And because you spend all your time in school, few people get to witness your high heeled, attractive alter ego.

It's hard to find middle ground between comfort and fashion when you also have to abide by school dress code. It's easy to be comfortable in a pair of high waisted shorts, but it's even easier to get a violation from a teacher, or worse an AP. The most we can all do is hope hat after high school, it becomes easier to dress fashionably and comfortably.
