If I had a nickel for every time I heard that someone decided to become a ๐๐๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ online just because people told them they always dress well, that all their friends ask them for fashion advice, or because theyโve had a passion for fashion their whole life and that becoming an online fashion expert seemed like the best way to gain entrance into this profession, well, Iโd be a rich woman who would never need to work again!
However, because of the fact that anyone gives themselves the self-appointed title of โ๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญโ without any credentials, skills, or education, I can only imagine how confusing this must be for people who are new to this industry and for people who are on the search to hire one.
๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ฒ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ?

One has to understand that it takes a whole lot more skills than just being a well-dressed friendโs go-to fashion expert to be qualified to style others and talk about trends.
Today for most of the people online specially the people bearing tags of being โ๐๐๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ฌโ are looked upon skeptically by the fashion industry as they may not have the proper expertise guaranteeing quality and credible reporting and thatโs why knowledge, educations and experience plays a huge part!
One has to understand that this journey has no shortcuts. There is a systematic training and daily practices that pay off. It will take you at least a decade to achieve expertise, and you will need to invest that time wisely, by engaging in โdeliberateโ practices in this field.
So next time anyone guides you on the trendsโฆask them when did they last read the ๐๐๐๐/ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฒ๐ฅ guidelines and how did they implement in their work!!!
Do they even know the difference between a raglan and a saddle sleeve?
Be wise coz not everything that shines is gold!!
