Welcome to Rachel's RTW Fashion!!

Hi guys! My name is Rachel and I am a sophomore Apparel Merchandising major. I am a very artistic person, so I really love getting to study fashion and art. When I am not studying, I am involved in my university's wakeboarding team and in my sorority, Pi Beta Phi. Naturally, this blog is all about my favorite styles and must-haves for the season. I also try to incorporate some information that may be really interesting to active consumers like myself. My favorite season for fashion are summer and fall. If you're looking for some updated styles with a little shopping advice on the side, you've come to the right place! I hope you enjoy it!

Let's get this started off right! First, I want to share one of my new favorite styles with you. I don't know about you, but I was never into the low-cut neckline. Listen up for an alternative style that is much more attractive.
Have you been thinking of sporting the low-cut neckline this season? Think again. This season it's all about the low-cut back. This style is great for any occasion. The look can be fairly conservative but also super edgy. I am definitely liking this new style for anyone looking to try something a little different.
Some things to check on before rocking this style:

  • Make sure the garment will stay on your shoulders. Some garments sleeves are too wide set across the top and since the back is low it will constantly be falling off your shoulders. Look out for this. 
  • Make sure you find a bra that won't show through the garment. If you haven't already, go out and purchase the NuBra from www.nubra.net. They're adhesive and not too expensive. Perfect for low-back apparel.
  • If there is any embroidery on the garment, make sure it's not too heavy for the fabric. The fabric will look like it's pulling and the garment will most likely not stay in place when you're wearing it.
  • Finally, make sure the stitch quality will work with your lifestyle. By that, I mean if the garments edges are not sewn nicely, the edges will fray when rubbed again chairs, car seats, jackets, etc. 
What do you think? Will you try this style this season? Comment and tell me what you think!
