It’s spring break!  You know what that means!  Don’t you?  Just in case you don’t know, let me be the first to tell you; it’s the next best thing after birthdays, holidays, Marc Jacobs spring collection, my new lace frilly Urban Outfitters socks, and my FIT class.  The one bad thing about spring break is that I don’t have class Saturday, which is kind of upsetting, but that sure won’t keep me out of the city.

With all the material and knowledge that I have received over the past couple of weeks and with no projects due for class, I must find somewhere other than my personal blog to share my creative outlook on the fashion industry.  When I shop I will not only buy for the physical appearance, but I will buy based on the fabric’s texture, cut, smell, and even how an item sounds (while moving).  My professor always tells us to shop for quality and to use all of our senses while shopping.   Putting myself to the test while still leaving time to have fun, I made a list of all of the things that I want to accomplish during my break, fashion related and non-fashion related.

Spring Break to Do List
