Change is the nature of life. While some changes are for good, others aren’t. Those who adapt to that change always come out on top. This rule is a constant in Fashion as well. It is ever-changing, fluid almost. What's in style today will not be in style an hour later. We all have a particular style that is no longer fresh.
Far too many people think fashion is about expensive clothes and shoes. But if you listen to a fashion icon, it isn't so. Ralph Lauren puts it best, "Fashion is not necessarily about labels. It's not about brands. It's about something else that comes from within you."
And to discover that something, you don't need to have a personal designer. There are a few bloggers who use their sense of fashion and style as a guide for others.
Here is a list of 10 Fashion Bloggers who you should follow.

Money cannot buy style
As these bloggers will illustrate for you, not everything that glitters is gold. You won't need to spend a fortune on keeping up to date on trends of the fashion industry. Style comes from within.
And even with all of the information and updates you get, you still feel a bit unsure, remember the words of wisdom from "When in doubt, wear red." You can never go wrong with your style.
Words for an aspiring Fashion Designer
You might be taught all you need to learn about the materials and the intricacies of style and trends, but some of you still may face self-doubt. To all of these designers, you do not have to conform. Fashion is radical. It is a way to express your emotions through art. Do what feels right. Design what you would wear.
These are the words of wisdom my mentor gave me at INIFD, Kothrud. I hope they serve you well in future. You woluld also like our this blog:
