I love fashion its something I am passionate about, I like the way it allows you to be who you want to be. To make a statement to the people around you without even having to open your mouth. People say don't dress for the job you have dress for the job you want which is a quote I follow and I wish that others follow too, unless you want to be a police officer then please don't because you may get in trouble for walking round as a police man. I want to work for a fashion magazine when I'm older I love writing and I love fashion so why not do both for a living? I know it is ambitious and I know that it is a hard industry to get into but it is what I want to do and I will do anything to get there. I think we all know where my inspiration has come from, if you don't then scroll down a few pages and you'll soon discover why? Its from The Devil Wears Prada by the way, just incase you haven't caught on yet! In my college we have a dress code which I like because even though I have a uniform I can tweak it and make it into my own, so win win for me! Except for this one lesson I had a few weeks back. It was with the head of my college, history, so you can imagine my mood as I walked into the lesson. When my teacher told me off for breaking the dress code because what I was wearing was not suitable for school.
This Dress isn't the exact one I wore but it is very similar and I was told it was inappropriate. Now if I am wrong then please tell me and I will happily take back what I have said. Because my shoulders was showing I was told to not wear the dress again. In an all girls school I did not understand why it was wrong to wear this dress, with my shoulders out. It was a plain black tailored dress which is exactly what they wanted me to wear.
I believe that it is important that people feel able to express themselves in which ever way they feel comfortable. If I want to dress with the highest fashion trends and wear my gorgeous new River Island over the knee boots (which I am in love with, incase you hadn't guessed) then I should be allowed too. My college is all about inspiring us to do what we want to do, if I want to be a fashion writer then I should be allowed to dress how I want because it is something that I feel passionate about, just like they let others do with their interests.
Its been all over the news and is something that everybody is talking about. What got me most about these attacks is a husband who lost his wife in the attack at the Bataclan. On a post he put on Facebook he explains how ' On Friday evening you stole the life of an exceptional person, the love of my life, the mother of my son, but you will not have my hatred'. This really touched me to see this man who must of being going through a pain that is unimaginable to me but he still refuses to give these people what they want. Many peoples reactions on social media were the same and retaliated, which is exactly what these people want. However this man didn't and he refused to give in to them which I think shows what an incredible man he is to be able to do that.
He goes on to explain how him and his son will continue with their lives and will not live in fear of them because that is exactly what they want and he will refuse to give them it. 'Then we are going to play like every other day and all his life this little boy will be happy and free. Because you will never have his hatred either' the man goes on to talk about his son and how although they have taken his mother, he will not hate them because that means that they have won.
How a man who has just lost his wife has the strength to do something like this I do no know, I certainly could never do it. The bravery that this man has to say that he will not hate them is amazing to me. Everything he says is true and we should not give into what these people want, they will not take our freedom away from us. What happens next? We don't get to go up to London at Christmas time out of fear that something may happen. If we all lived our lives in fear then we are letting these people win and we can not allow this to happen. Don't give them what they want, that only fuels their cause.
This mans tribute to his wife is heart breaking and my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family and all of those who lost someone in the Paris Attacks.
