Gossamer: Something light, delicate, or insubstantial. -------------------------------
This word was one that I had submitted once towards the beginning of Senior Project class when we were assigned vocab. word searches weekly. This word can have so many meanings to it. Honestly, I had forgotten about it until it was brought to my attention by Mr. Abrams. He had informed me that he had been reading Wednesday's paper and had ran into the Style & Soul section, where the title read 'Sheer Gladness' and immediately thought of me when he noticed the word gossamer located at the top of the following page. 'More Transparency: Garments Go Gossamer-Light'. The article talked about the new trend with sheer clothing. Mostly blouses and tops were pictured in the paper in a variety of styles such as long, short and capped sleeved. Yet, each of them were neutral colored and seemed quite 'flowy'. Under each item there was a description that gave and explained a way to wear the piece along with the price it was selling for and where. The article informed its readers that 'Fashionistas can bring those yesteryear styles up to date by layering the tops over tanks.' Which adds a bit of flare. It was great to see a full article based on a word that I had simply just come across and not only was it that word, it was using it in a way that represented fashion. Thanx Mr. A!♥
You are so welcome! You are in a field that is soooo wide open to being creative, and that's why I respect it so much. Keep reading! Find very old fashion magazines, because what's old can suddenly become new again if it has the right buzz. And you're just the kind of person to create a buzz.
ReplyDeleteI just want to say that I really enjoyed your three blog postings this week!
ReplyDeleteWhere does the word "gossamer" come from? I know. It was on my Word-of-the-Day calendar from March 28th.
