Welcome to Tanaijah’s blog. My name is Tanaijah Fields. I attend Illinois State University as a junior after transferring from Ball State University Spring semester of my Freshman year. I am a Fashion Design and Merchandising major. I have been interested in fashion since I was about four years old. I started coming up with my own designs and putting together different outfits to create a new look. I always knew it would be something that stuck with me and I would use as my future career.
Over the years, I found many of my strengths and weakness, both personally and professionally. I am very creative. I can coming up with new and exciting solutions on the spot for any situation. This is both a strength and weakness, it comes in handy when I’m on a time crunch but also makes me think too much on certain situations that can have a simple solution. I also have a weakness with public speaking but creating presentations and typing out ideas come naturally for me.
I have previously worked in retail at “The Children’s Place” and did a summer internship at “Chic Treasures” boutique. This experience has helped me enhance my communication skills and know how different it is to operate a big corporate store compared to a small store boutique. These two experiences have allowed me to achieve a status of helping prepare a concept for a window display and run the social media pages to enhance promotion. After working in both stores and working continuously on designs, I decided that my career goal will be to work in a bridal boutique and help style people for their special day.
Overall, this blog is intended to show how I analyze various fashion window display photos over the course. It will incorporate any knowledge gained from Fashion Promotion over time and enhance in detail the further along we get.
