Wearing stylish clothes and experimenting with fashionable hats can spark inspiration in unexpected ways—sometimes even leading you to discover new passions, like how it inspired me to take up lyrical dancing
Seeing Thom Browne’s Spring/Summer 2023 Cinderella-inspired fashion show truly transformed my perspective, inspiring me to view fashion through an entirely new and imaginative lens.
I think one, thing I would say that also had drawn me to Fashion, not just being a fashion writer, but, also, getting to read about the inside stories that encapsulated the world of many fashion editors ones who are able to channel, various preconceptions about the different fashion seasons, and also, where this is in, wear certain styles, can be accentuated with a look or added, effect, something as, unique, and inspiring, as seeing a runway show filled with, big cutting edge, fairy tale inspired themed coats.
It seems somewhat exaggerated, yet it highlights something truly essential—even in the simple act of wearing clothes. This may be where your personal sense of style diverges from what you initially expect, revealing a more authentic expression of yourself.
Reflecting on how much fashion has evolved, I began to consider what kind of style and concept could feel truly innovative and unique—something that offers a fresh perspective compared to the trends of decades past.. I believe that in drawing inspiration from past styles, we can observe an overall shift in how ideas are reinterpreted and refined over time .
Start beneath the surface. Substance is intention—it’s knowing who you are, what you stand for, and why it matters.

When it comes to hobbies, I recently picked up contemporary dance and ballet, and I’ve even started developing my own routine.
I’d say one of the biggest realizations I’ve had with makeup is that keeping it simple—and letting it reflect my personal style—makes all the difference.
: )I think my confidence really began to grow when I started dancing to Fiona Apple and exploring my sense of style through shopping—it gave me that extra spark.
It is, picturing many visualizations and also where some of this can even include something, as innovative as design, whether it is a fashion design or, interior design, or even, something like an idea that can make you want to make all your ideas come to life.

Fall 2023 My first real goal was to get a job and get hired remotely. In between waiting to hear back from employers I began to work as a freelance photographer, and started to take pictures, and then submit them to fashion magazines regularly.
September of 2023 I think the biggest obstacle was, for me professionally, was actually hearing back from employers, and that sometimes it took up to several weeks. I had began to go to school online, and also, where, after I had taken several online courses, in critical thinking, Explorations in Literature, and Warrior Seminar, and that, this had, been while I continued to look for remote work.
I think the biggest obstacle was, hearing back from employers, and that sometimes it took up to several weeks.
Fall 2023 I then, began to, continue to work as a freelancer, and doing small jobs alone, and that, I had, eventually began to see results that were a bit confusing and where, I thought I had come up with very few job offers.
I think it was in setting goals, that had, given me, a sense of where, I could try to hone my skills, and then master them and then work in and what, I had, been able to achieve in a short amount of time.
In August of 2024 that was when I decided to change my profession, while going to school, and working on the side as a freelance photographer, and this was where, I had used photographer as a benchmark to build my dreams, and set new goals for myself after a period of time.
I remember my first publication in a magazine, and that I had found where, the overall result in my opinion despite not making a lot of money, was pretty much worth it, getting on the cover of a magazine of Untold magazine.
I think the most difficult part of trying to, show editors, that I was worth publishing, even though I thought the thing they looked at the most was having representation as a model, and a new face and that for wardrobe and make up credits, I think I had, decidedly began to use, my own brand name Linda O Jean, as a way to show that I had the ability to represent myself, and not by just some big name, modeling, management company.
After being published in Mob Journal this year, I think I had, began to, actually find, how far, I had come in the beginning since, after trying to find remote work, and also, using my own business skills ones, Over time— with sending cover letters, revised resumes, and also, even samples, and how particularly between August 2023 and June 2024, while searching for remote work opportunities online—I began to consider creating a small photography brand of my own, which I envisioned calling Bardot Photography through my website CreativeOJean.com.
I think I had began to first build my own business, and professional profile on Fashion Mingle, and that this, had helped discover new opportunities, and to network, and make business connections.
I did hear back from a few volunteer and internship opportunities, and that I think in, finally getting a response, from an employer from Fashion Mingle, and after earning visibility, I had found that after several months, I had thought about particular being a fashion writer had seemed interesting to me.

Dawning with strawberry-red hair for one fashion season, then swaying to the raw poetry of Patti Smith the next.
I began to explore lyrical dance through Dancing Barefoot by Patti Smith, discovering an ability within myself to move and adapt to the music—its rhythm, its pulse, its raw, expressive style. With each motion, I felt more in tune with the percussion and emotion, as if my body instinctively understood how to translate sound into movement.
When it came to taking risks, I would say that dancing to “How to Save a Life” by The Fray was one of my boldest moments. Back then, my greatest fear wasn’t failure—it was lacking the self-confidence I needed as a young woman to truly express myself. by Bernadette Taklit Bardot
Changing your hair color while maintaining your signature fashion sense can be an effective way to refresh and enhance your overall look.
I think it is reading that has been my second biggest hobby in the past fall and winter summer months, and I had began to read, for 3 months straight, and also where, I’d had reread many chapters, and excerpts over and over again.
