Mini Assignment #2

Guest post: Featuring … Brooke Davis

Dear Diary,

Oh my god, I haven’t written that in so long!! I used to keep my own diary when I was in highschool. I used to tell people I never had one because I never wanted anyone to find it. I’ve never been more vulnerable than in that diary. This is like totally healing for me. Eventually, I gave my diary to Julian to read so he could really know me. Thank god I didn’t give it to Lucas.

Anyways, hey everyone!! I’m Brooke Davis and I’m from Tree Hill. Julia asked me to come on here and share my experience with my company, Clothes Over Bros, and give some fashion tips!! So let’s get into it!

Not gonna lie, it all started because I was hung up over Lucas. Yes, this may have started from a boy, but I sure as hell turned that around. I used to talk to my best friend’s Haley and Peyton about my dream fashion line. Haley convinced me to focus my attention on my talent in fashion, rather than Lucas. This is where the name Clothes over Bro’s came from. I soon went to work, using Peyton’s artwork as inspiration. I showed my designs to Haley and Peyton and they instantly loved them. I decided to get my friend Mouth’s help to launch a website where I can sell them. I handstitched the products myself and Clothes Over Bros came to life.

I began to receive numerous orders, too many to handle on my own. Luckily I got the help of my friends and fellow cheerleaders, and was able to complete the initial orders for C/B. Soon afterward, I received a letter offering to show my designs at Rogue Vogue. I thought Lucas submitted my designs, but it turns out it was Rachel’s attempt to have me miss my cheerleading tournament and have her shine instead. She’s always been jealous of me. I mean who wouldn’t be. But thanks to her, that started my career and C/B became a well-known sensation.

Fashion tips time!

As you can see, I’m iconic.

1. Confidence is Key: One of the most significant lessons is that confidence can elevate any outfit. Wear your clothes with confidence, and you’ll always look stylish.
2. Mix and Match: I love mixing different styles and creating unique outfits. Don’t be afraid to experiment with your wardrobe. Mix patterns, textures, and colours to create a look that’s uniquely yours.
3. Accessorize: Accessories can transform a basic outfit into something extraordinary. Invest in statement jewelry, scarves, hats, and bags to add flair to your look.
4. Know Your Body: Understand your body shape and choose clothes that flatter your figure. I always wear outfits that highlight my best features. Tailoring your clothes to fit you perfectly can make a huge difference.
5. Invest in Quality Pieces: While it’s fun to follow trends, having a few high-quality, timeless pieces in your wardrobe is essential. These pieces can be the foundation of various stylish outfits and can last for years.
6. Play with Colors: Don’t shy away from colours. Experiment with different hues to find what complements your skin tone. I often wear vibrant colours that reflect my lively personality.
7. Comfort Matters: Fashion shouldn’t be painful. Find stylish pieces that are also comfortable to wear. When you feel comfortable, your confidence naturally shines through.
8. Be Bold: Don’t be afraid to be bold with your fashion choices. Whether it’s a daring dress, a bold print, or a unique accessory, taking fashion risks can lead to some of your best looks.
9. Pay Attention to Details: Small details like cufflinks, pocket squares, or well-chosen shoes can make a significant difference. These details can elevate your outfit and show your attention to style.
10. Be Yourself: Ultimately, the best fashion tip you can take from me is to be yourself. Your style is a way to express your personality, so embrace what makes you unique and let it shine through your fashion choices.
