NYFW | REALITY CHECK

Sep 14

Written By Pamela

Hello Fashionista!

I hope you are all having a good day! We are almost there, tomorrow is Friday! YAY.

So New York Fashion Week ends today and I decided to give you a brief recap of my NYFW experience. I have not had the opportunity to have a schedule full of shows lined up being that I work full time. But I do try to fit one or two shows here and there and if I can sum up my experience in two words it would be "Reality Check."

This week opened my eyes in so many ways. One major reality check I had was how real the struggle is. NYFW is definitely not as glamorous as some people portray it to be. My feet were killing me, the temperature dropped and I was freezing, people pushed and shoved me and to top it off, food is not offered during these shows so I was hungry all night.

Needless to say, if you plan on attending NYFW bring an extra comfortable pair of shoes and snacks!

However, on the bright side, being able to see upcoming fashion trends first hand and up-close is seriously magical. Not to mention the amount of great people I met and the connections I made. Now, is it worth it? The conclusion I came up with is balance. For my own sanity, I limit myself to 3-5 events. Again, I am not a full time blogger so the time I can dedicate to these events is limited to begin with.

To sum it up, I feel like every fashion lover should experience NYFW at least once! Just keep in mind the struggle is real so be prepared!

Feel free to leave me a comment if you have any questions regarding my experience or the events I attended.

Much love,
