personal style at its best










Fashion is what you make it. What is fashionable is how you interpret it. Personal style can be indefinable.

"An Awkward Pop Up Shop, Vol.1"

There is a very unique event, or should I say shop, literally "popping up" on Saturday, September 10 , in  downtown Memphis. This unique, or what promoters are calling awkward, Pop Up Shop is the first in what is planned to be a series of events showcasing art, fashion, music, and more. Along with local performers there is said to be an open mic as well. The idea was developed by a University of Memphis student, Clarence Simpson, with the help of some of his peers. The event is set to take place at an old abandoned building/shop and transformed into a boutique for a day.

I am excited to see the creativity of this event exude and hopefully rub off on the event goers. Ideas like this is where people get a start on their dreams.

Pictures to follow...

The initial idea

Fashion trends, personal style, entrepreneurship, all these things make up the life of many people in the city of Memphis, TN who hope to one day break into the notable world of fashion. I am Caray Oldham a junior  journalism major at the University of Memphis. This happens to be my first blog site as well as my first ever blog post. I hope to use this blog as a way of sharing with the world the ambition and dedication of various people around Memphis whose lives are dedicated to fashion and what it entails. That is all for now...
