Overview of Polyvore Sets

So. I guess it's time for the big overview of my Polyvore sets. I'm going to make this synopsis short and sweet, in spite of the number of sets that will be covered in it. Otherwise, we're looking at the Encyclopedia Naomiacan for fashion.
Let's get started with some of my contest set entries. I must have entered over 1500 contests on Polyvore, and my labors have paid off sort of fruitfully: I now have six trophies and I received two coupon codes to purchase stuff from the contest sponsors' websites. Judging by the trends of the last hundred or so contests I entered, it looks like you can expect many more sets featuring sweatshirts:

Whenever I see a hoodie, it always reminds me of a photo from a college website or brochure. Invariably, female students are wearing a sweatshirt, jeans, a backpack, and Uggs. So, that's what I did in these sets. Besides college promotions, sweatshirts remind me of sports i.e. football, so I did that, too. So, Juicy Couture not considered, if you believe everything on the college websites, you'd think most college women dress very much like their male counterparts. That's literally only half true: at least 50% of college girls, at least at MSU and U of M AA, are a wee bit more daring in their fashion choices. When I first got to MSU, I was taken up as much as anyone by the whirlwind of football frenzy. However, over time those feelings start to mellow: you don't go out to see your team play in person as much. It's partly because you're eventually going to realize it's not really your team, and the hit to the wallet, even with the student discount, combined with not so hot student seating, well, it takes the wind out of your sails, too. Nevertheless, there are still lots of dorm floor parties with football themes - on a Saturday, natch - and some of my sets have reflected that option as well. Hey, it's O.K. to dress up like it's Halloween for one of those parties, well, once in a while.
Other contests:

https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/rosegal-plaid-printed-items-contest.html
Sort of a mixed bag: I try to go with what I'm given instead of twist it around. Meaning: if it looks dressy, I match it with other dressy things, casual, match it with something corresponding. I try to keep the colors harmonious and the textures not too contrasty.
Besides sponsored contests:

https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/polyvore-faux-fur-contest.html
A collection of Polyvore contests, and contests run by some of the groups I am a member of. Usually, some kind of theme is set up, and I follow it. The theme is a little sketchy; no specific items required, so I just do my own thing, like I was doing a set for my own personal curiosity. However, I'm not nearly so daring as when I strike out on my own.
Speaking of which, here's a bunch of sets I had been doing in the past:
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/imaginary-western.html
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-woman-in-blackand-whiteand.html
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/fistfull-of-dollars_11.html

https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-good-bad-and-ugly.html
Obviously, too many late nights watching Spaghetti Westerns. Hey, I can't deny the Western influence on Boho, so even though it's not that big for me, I decided to put my own spin on it.
Next up:
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/sunset-and-vine.html
I've been out to LA a few times and hung out on the Sunset Strip, and this particular locale had this funny impression on me: like it would be a cool place for celebrities to retire to, maybe Kim Kardashian would like it after she's done with her gig as Kanye's wife. That might be a cool job: helping retired celebrities find an affordable (in celebrity dollars, that is) place to retire to, where they wouldn't be bothered too much. Anyways, made an outfit that fit my impression of the place.
I've been doing quite a few rave/disco/dance outfit sets lately:
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/rave-rage.html
I guess iridescence and holograms is to dancing, as sweatshirts are to college campuses and football. Enough said.
When I upload some new stuff to Polyvore, I've always got to take it for a spin:

https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/venus-to-earth-come-in-earth.html
Just pure urban chic, I guess you could call it.
And, if I'm thinking about an important night on the town:
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/5000-miles-west.html
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/kabling.html
I haven't been doing the hot date look sets lately, but I have a huge number of bodycon/fur coat/PU type sets under my belt.
I did a few sets dealing with the female metalhead species:
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/head-banger.html
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/more-metal.html
You can't escape heavy metal in Detroit or in Michigan; heck, MSU's student radio station has 6 hours of power, I think every week? Might as well be every day.
Some of my uploads to Polyvore caused me to fall into an anime dream:
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/fairy-boho-princess.html
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/cast-spell-to-never-wake-up-from-your.html

https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/i-dub-thee-vassal-of-7-mile-road.html
Basic anime, fairy fashion.
Switching the channel:
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/schoolgirl-on-motorcycle.html
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/moto-hippie-madness.html
Many moto sets lately. Now, bet you're wondering: what's the difference between straight up moto and moto hippie? Well, the suffix "hippie" is the deciding point in the matter; O.K. not much of a difference, just boho on a motorcycle, hmm, what's that mean? Well, a little more PU, a moto jacket - with flower embroidery or painted on ( almost a must) - boots, basically a harder edged, I guess you could call it, form of boho. I got the idea from a 'Lost in Space' episode:

I guess the squares producing 'Lost in Space' didn't know the difference between motorcycle gangs and hippies, but their loss was my gain. It wasn't what they wore on 'Lost in Space' that inspired me, it was the concept.
On the subject of TV shows, '60's, '70's and hippies, of course I've been doing a lot of boho sets:
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/below-ho-border.html
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/blackish.html
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/70s-ups.html
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/70s.html
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/fill-more.html
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/black-lilies.html
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/budget-boho-mxv.html
Of course, boho has its roots in '60's - '70's fashion, and besides that influence, I've been tapping into some old TV shows in my most recent sets: 'Happy Days', 'The Partridge Family', 'The Mod Squad'. Some of the episodes I'm describing would be good for a re-boot and others, well, not so much: maybe a Penelope Spheeris type of thing. I think they're a wee bit better than Ms. Spheeris' stuff, if I do say so myself.
Maybe my next trip south of the border I'll do something like this:
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/i-dont-knowmaybe-airplane-landed.html
Or, maybe this:
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/below-ho-border.html
If I was getting myself there, my work clothes might look like this:
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/jet-airliner.html
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/adjust-your-tray-table-please.html
I suppose that, reading about rock stars and their stewardesses has gone to my head.
If I ever get down there again, maybe I'll wear something like this:
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/cha-cha-cha.html
It might be too much of a cliché for such a trip, but I've got to say the old world Spanish influence is very strong nowadays.
Besides the boho take on gypsy, let's not forget the urbanized, modern, genuine gypsies, still breathing:
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/gypsy-romanius.html
Many Slavic, ex- Warsaw pact women still like these looks. Maybe it's something that runs in our blood, I don't know.
Lot's of other fashions were going on in the '60's:
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/a-little-mod-little-something-else.html
Sort of a mod look, name pretty much describes it. My interpretation of mod, is that it's a very streamlined sort of hippie look. So, when the hippy look flows, mod contracts, when hippies go outlandish, mod simplifies. Basically, mod means modern, which actually should read: futuristic. However, futuristic in fashion usually is space suits, so mod is more like the future but right now. a little confusing.
If you've read my posts here,  this set will look familiar:
https://naomifashionworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/movie-date.html
Yeah, did a whole post on this outfit. In the past I used to make the set, then, model the clothes, now, it's the other way around.
So there you have it: truly a world of fashion in those sets. One common element: as one of the sets says, budget. Yep, all of those outfits can be had, hat to shoe, for less that $300, heck, some are cheaper than $75.
Well, that's it for today's post. Hope you enjoyed it.
Catchya later.
Ciao.

D.I.Y. Part II

O.K. This is part II of D.I.Y. fashion blogging. In part I, we looked at the reasons for writing a blog, what to focus on, and monetization. Part II is going to be about how to put a blog together. Now, we're not going to get into the nitty gritty details of programming a website. So, in this part we're going to assume you already have a platform to launch your blog on, and need to organize the content.
Probably the first choice to make is, given the content you want to share with the general public, what's going to be the overall look of your blog. It's an important first step, and I think a wise choice would be to give your blog an overall feel that harmonizes with the styles you're going to be writing about. If you're primarily going to be writing about shopping and what you can buy online or in stores, maybe some sort of store motif would be best. If you're writing about a particular style of fashion, let's say minimalist, give your blog a, say, minimalist look. You can also subdivide the blog into different pages and give each page a special feel to it depending upon what's that page about, and give the whole blog a look that captures your blogging overall. That would be very cool. One problem: sometimes if the theme harmonizes too much it can get too cute or cloying; like the shopping/store blog equals store motif; maybe that's a bad equation. I've seen quite a few minimalist blogs and all of them have the minimalist theme, so apparently, that's the way to go with those blogs.
Alrighty. Now let's talk a wee bit about writing your blog. At some point you may or may not want to write something. If you don't have photos, and don't have anything written, what else is there? Not much, just a blog theme. On the other hand you may want mostly photos, with little or no explanation. Many minimalist blogs are like that. You'll notice, here at Naomi's Fashionable World, some of these posts can get down right verbose. If  that's going to be your choice too, here's some hints about what I'm doing and how it may help. Basically, for Naomi's Fashionable World, I've adopted a style of writing that could be typified as conversational. You'll note, I often use the second person pronoun, like at the beginning of this sentence. The reason for that, is that it helps draw you, the blog readers, into the blog, and hopefully helps start a conversation. It helps to engage the blog audience, plus, it doesn't seem as formal or business like. Since this blog is a personal blog, and I am neither selling, nor promoting, anything (usually), it's O.K. I think, to try and get one-on-one with my audience. You might be thinking: "Hey! Naomi! Is that going to attract a lot of trolling too?" It might, but, so far, here at Naomi's Fashionable World, not many trolls, nor, has trying to engage the audience brought out a stupendous number of comments. It might have backfired, in the sense that it has intimidated people. But you know, people don't have to leave a comment to feel engaged, and that's what I'm trying to achieve here.
Another thing you'll note, is that I sometimes throw a 10 buck word in there now and again, which might seem out of whack with some of the more down homey phrases, like the one I just wrote. It's still cool, I think, just trying to show off my college smarts.
You've probably observed as well, that sometimes my grammar seems off the mark, or maybe not what 'The Chicago Book of Style' is hawking. That's all part of the conversational style: we don't always speak grammatically, yet, we still understand each other! Besides, who made you guys king, Chicago Book of Style? Some of the best writers that have ever lived wrote beautiful, ungrammatical, sentences, that make perfect sense. The other reason for my style of writing, is that I try to break the sentences into bite sized chunks. The reason: there are many people in the world, who don't speak English! I hope the shortened sentence fragments, will help with computer translation. Heck, I can't translate this stuff into every language! One downside: sometimes American colloquialisms can be untranslatable.
On the flip side, I wouldn't write a paper for one of my college courses in this style of writing.
So, maybe you're scratching your head, thinking, "what's this got to do with me?" Well, plenty. That's because many, many popular magazines have articles written in a similar fashion. A great author said once: "great writing comes from great ideas." No matter what style of writing you choose, let your enthusiasm guide your writing, and you'll never miss the mark. Hopefully. If it begins to look like, well, maybe writing isn't your cup of tea, just keep things short and sweet.
Next: photos. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and that saying is never so true as it is in fashion. Fashion is, literally, all about how people look. And what's the best way to describe that, well, with a photo of course! You might not be doing the modeling yourself, or have a model for the styles you're writing about, so, in that case you'll need some one else's photos. Like, for example, photos like these:

It's probably best to link to the original source to avoid copyright issues. The down side to that, is that many, if not most, of those links are impermanent. Also, you might not be able to link to them at all. Wherever you get your photos, pick ones that are unique, and, at the same time engaging.
I had a Summer internship at an ad agency, that gave me huge insights into both fashion, and web design. Yep. Ad agencies do a surprising amount of web design. Besides that, they are also responsible for many  shoots. Now, I'm not talking about just the big full page, glossy, mag ads, ad agencies do many fashion mag features themselves. Usually the procedure works as follows: someone, a magazine, or an apparel company, approaches an agency on working on some promotional, or other kind, project for them. They've sketched the outline of what they want, maybe they even have the models picked out. The ad agency forms a project group: an art director, a copy writer, a graphic artist, and maybe a photographer, and a couple interns, like myself, for instance. They throw around a few ideas, bounce them off the client, the client gives one of the ideas the go ahead. Now, look at these photos:

They've all got something in common: did I hear photoshop? If I did you'd be correct. The one at the bottom is pretty obvious. The one at the top: not so much. The thing is, practically everything you see on the web these days has, in some way been photoshoped. In the old days, it was called "retouching" or "airbrushing". Why am I bringing this up? Well, there's something to be learned here from ad agencies, and how they make these pictures that are so stunning. The reasons for photoshopping are in some cases practical, and, in others, well, practical: in the last photo; the modeling agency wouldn't want their models exposed to a car burning down, and, getting the fire to look just right is tricky.
The most important reasons: cost and control of environment. You've probably seen movies with models being shot "on location" or outdoors. Well, in the real world, it ain't gonna happen, or at least, not very often. In the top photo, the model probably had a runway show in, say, Italy, or France, then after that gig was over, it's time to go to a photographer's studio for a mag photo shoot. So, why didn't that model just fly out to Detroit, wait for the lighting to be just right, maybe a couple days,  and do a gazillion takes to get the background kids just right? Well, there's the reason. In a photography studio, there is so much more control over lighting, and other conditions. Also, change some clothes, click, click, and the photo session is over.
So, the ad agency's role in all of this is, once they've gotten the go ahead, is to line up the models, a convenient, professional, photo studio to photograph them in, then, once they've gotten all of this material back, that's when the fun begins. Ad agencies have huge photo libraries, and when I mean huge, I'm not talking in the thousands, I'm talking in the millions of photos. Out of that library, the art director picks a suitable background. Sometimes, the background is picked first, and sent to the photographic studio so they can shoot the model right. For the one at the top, a Detroit street shot was picked, since the story was all about modeling in Detroit. Then the graphic artist on the team gives the lowdown on what can be done to merge these photos. She/he doesn't assemble the photos her/him self, she/he is just on the team to determine what can and can't be done. Next, a graphic artist, very often freelance, is hired, or enlisted, to assemble the shot. Usually, the actual program Photoshop, is not used. Proprietary software, which is extremely expensive, and requires gigundo computer power, is used. Basically, most ad agencies have more computer power than most colleges. If the graphic artist is freelance, she/he usually has to log onto the company's computer to use the program, because it's way to expensive for the average Josephine or Joe to afford.
Once the graphic artist has finished tweaking the different photos together, it results in something called a mechanical. In the old days, the graphic artist had to literally glue all of the different photos together: each one was painstakingly cut out and mounted on a firm, dense, cardboard board. At this stage, computer or not, what the graphic artist has got, is called a mechanical. That's sent to the art director. If the art director likes what she/he sees, she/he instructs the graphic artist to make a layout, the finished product. If not, more mechanicals are made until they get it right. Before the computer, the layout would be photoed, the photo of it would be what goes in the ad or the mag. Nowadays, the digital file is the finished product. Oops, forgot one step: the copywriter's copy needs to be added: old days: each letter was cut out and glued to the cardboard, like those ransom notes or bomb threats you see in movies. Nowadays: they're added on the ole computer.
Other effects are added by the graphic artist. Remember in the old days when, in some films, everything looked blue:

Of course, Laurence Fishburne didn't dye his hair blue. Well, a similar effect was added to the Alexander McQueen photo, second from the top, in the first set of these photos.
Here's another example of photoshoping:

Pretty darn obvious.
So, why this long digression into the pro world? I'm just pointing out what's going on, and, that what we see in mags and on the web is very rarely raw, unadultered, photography. It's important to remember when you start your own fashion blog, because, if you do your own modeling or photo shoots, your end product might not compare exactly with the big shots.
Many fashion bloggers take this route:

It's very popular to use washed out, desaturated, unfocused images. In fact, I submitted some photos to a D.I.Y. fashion website who recommended, basically: "no bright colors, sharp images", pretty much requirements for photos like the ones directly above. Naturally, I found I was getting many complaints. On the website, people could flag photos for all kinds of things, and I was getting flagged pretty much non stop. Thing was, people doing the flagging were doing the same sort of stuff they were flagging about. So, long story short, decided to blow that clam bake.
If you want to follow the rest of the herd, the photo like the one above is the way to go.
Now, since you almost certainly don't have the resources that an ad agency or some similar company has, what can you do? Well, here's what I did:

In the the first photo, I went to a party, some one took some pics, and some of them looked pretty good. So, I wrote a post about what I was wearing. Second photo, same deal, except I went to a festival. I found this pose works pretty well for me, and I've used it a few times more. Both photos were, well, worked on: added an overlay frame, and there were some color adjustments. Personally, I use an online, internet phot processing program, though not nearly as elaborate as the ones I wrote about earlier. Just because a photo is desaturated and a little fuzzy doesn't make it any less photoshoped: many adjustments can be made right in the camera or phone.  Speaking of which, it's probably a good idea to invest in a good digital camera, cell phone photos are probably going to look terrible once they're expanded.
Here's another example:

Went on two, different, dates to see a movie, pretty much the same pose, and...you know, I don't think I've written a post about the adventure in the last photo, however, look for it in the future. Hey! You're getting  sneak peek there.
Another example:

Another trip to the movie theater, this time in connection with a set I did for Polyvore, and an  adorable, funny, frame around the photo. Haven't been doing the frame thing too much lately, might get back into it. Here's another example:

This time, Spartan Stadium. And, an outfit I created on Polyvore. I like to be more than a clothes horse in my shots, and show a wee bit of personality. I'm not recommending it, just saying what's going on, capiche?
Another example:

These are from a concert at Detroit's Fillmore; do regret not showing more background, because, it is fascinating, and not just in the fashion fascinator sense.
Lastly, a photo from the dawn of the early days of Naomi's Fashionable World:

Same idea as the pro Detroit fashion shoots: this one was on location, however, in some of Detroit's ruins, an abandoned school. The reason: so many photos about these ruins, and so much focus on them, I thought I'd get my two cents in there too.
So, there's some ideas, not necessarily, specifically, these ones, just a general idea of going about it.
My advice? Pick out outfits you're enthusiastic about, and find something interesting to do in them, and get some cool shots of yourself ,or your model, doing it.
Guess that's about it for now, maybe a part III will be coming up if I think of more tips.
Anyways, happy blogging!
Catchya later.
Ciao.

Intro about Polyvore set sum up

For today's post, I'm going to provide a summation of the Polyvore sets I've been posting here. Quite a few posts: over 2000 so far. However, I'm not going to discuss every single set I've posted so far; it would require too lengthy a discussion. So, what I'm going to do, is write about the more recent posts, and skip over some of the other ones. A huge bulk of my Polyvore sets have been contest entries, and generally, for those sets, I'm trying to win the contest, or at least have fun trying. The stuff in those sets aren't necessarily what I'd want to wear, or at least, what would get me very excited about wearing. I'd say, I wear stuff like that once in a while, but you know what? I wrote in my post about being an MSU tour guide that I'm mostly a T-shirt and jeans girl, but really I don't think that's really the case. If you look at my non Polyvore posts, you'd think I'm some kind of a strict PU woman, and that's not the case either. I guess my style falls into a whole bunch of different categories, which is nice, variety is the sustenance of human life, as they say. Anyway, the upshot of the above discussion is I'm not going to discuss my contest entries too much, maybe just a couple.
One thing about my contest entries: I am now the happy winner of five trophies. Not bad. And it looks like one of my wins actually paid off, which is good too. So, thank you very much if you supported my Polyvore set efforts, and if you didn't, well, that's O.K. too. Maybe you'll see something you like in the future.
Now, another note bout my Polyvore sets: even though everything I've created I'd love to wear, I don't think it would be feasible to do so. Why? Because besides the 2000 or so sets posted here, there are about 5-600 others that didn't get posted, or something like that. So...let's see: 2500 or so sets divided by 2 years or so on Polyvore, that would be three or four outfits a day. Hmmm, I do change my clothes sometimes three times a day, but I don't think I do that on a regular basis. So, I'm pretty sure I won't be able to wear every one of my creations, which is pretty darn sad since I would truly love to give each and every one of them a spin around the block or two.
Hey, wait a minute: you know what? I wrote that I was going to do the whole Polyvore sum up thing today, well, I've already written almost a page here of introduction, so I think this post is going to be just a preview and the next post I write instead of forwarding from Polyvore, that post will be about my Polyvore sets. Sorry about the last minute change of plans.
So. Stay tuned, something really, really good is coming soon.
Catchya later.
Ciao.

So. You're having lunch with your BFF and...woops! Spill some coffee on your favorite PU pants. Or: maybe you're on a date, sitting in he movie theater waiting for he feature to start, hey, now's a good time for some new lipstick...you see something out of he corner of your eye: "Is that...?" woops! Turning, you get lipstick all over the collar of your PU jacket. No, it's not time to rush home and trash what might be your favorite PU. Sure, PU can be tough to clean; how the heck do you clean PU anyway? Well, this post will show you how. It's easier than you think;it just takes a little time. First off, remember that throwing your PU stuff in the washer and then he dryer is a no, no. Washing machines can kill PU and dryers with all that heat can be even worse.
The first thing to remember about PU is that it's a plastic, so, what do you use to clean plastic? Well, it's not any ordinary because PU is so flexible. Of course, polyester is plastic, and many garments are made of that, but PU is more sensitive to heat and wrinkling.
To get your fave PU clean what you'll need first is water. A soft cloth, something that won't scratch the PU and leave permanent marks. A largish wash basin. And some kind of soap. Practically any soap will work, but what I find best is dish washing soap. It gets out the stains and, since it's used for cleaning stuff you'll eat off of later, well, it should be safe for something close to your skin.
