reviewing a source

looking over the august 2010 edition of Seventeen magazine, I came across an article called "Look Hot In Your Jeans". This drew my attention immediatley because I live in denim. Basically, what the editors at Seventeen took a bunch of new rising styles of what to wear with simple jeans. For example, puff sleeved, cup sleeved, and sequined shirts with any regular blues. That, in particular, was eye catchy because that is a trend I follow almst everyday..a cute tee or top with different pairs of denim.
But I wasnt pleased with the cobweb sweaters to pair up with denim. I cant stand cobweb sweaters. They look like moth eaten pieces that youve kept in your closet for years. Also, they tried to incorporate the overzsized utility jacket with denim. I HATE THOSE JACKETS!! They look like something a bum would wear...so un-chic! But they did have short cropped jackets and leather jackets to wear with your jeans, and I find that hot, because it is personally my style.
Even though they did a good job dressing up the models and choosing the denim, all the models are thin. There isn't a single chubby girl in this article. I find that rather bizarre because everyone wears denim, not just skinny models. This article should have put different denim styles for girls with different shapes. But I did like the fact that they added 7 for all mankind denim, which is by far my favorite brand of jeans.

  1. They have plus size models, they're just harder to find on the magazines because fashion always follows some sort of "look". Jeans are always comfy, I bought trouser pants from Zara a few days ago. They're not denim , but I'm thinking that everyone is following the skinny jean trend, so all the pants end up having the skinny tight ankles.

  2. I like your sense of style. Just grab a cute tee and denim and your done. I also love denim and wear them all the time now that the weather is getting colder. Also, I think magazines should put more emphasis on people of all shapes and sizes. These fantasy world magazines where every person is skinny, is changing the eating habits of many teenage girls. The media through television, magazines and now the internet idolizes a hot person as young, skinny and acne free. But we all know this isn't true. Magazines should make everyone feel beautiful for who they are and not try to make them resemble a mannequin. So I definitely agree with your idea. Include models from all ethnicities and sizes.
