Can I do it?

I was struggling with the styling section of this project. I was not entirely sure how I was gonna dress my model or show what I wanted to show and how I would make it look good.

I had a sudden thought inspired by the workshop we did using clothes we styled on the mannequins to create a new article that is far from its original purpose. I was also inspired by the collaging workshop where we had to try and be very conceptual, thinking so outside the box that the box turns in to a sphere. I was looking at different very English things and also very american things. On the english side I looked at pictures of the Queen holding umbrellas. On the american side I looked at the idea of jocks, but mainly girls wearing basketball shorts. One thing I notice when I go back to my home state of Oklahoma and America in general is that they don't dress nice. They walk around in old looking sports wear. The young girls wear basketball shorts and t-shirts everywhere. I never felt comfortable wearing my nice long floral skirts or dresses because I felt over dressed. So I want to try and combine basketball shorts and umbrellas into an article of clothing so far from being an umbrella and basketball shorts. Will I be able to do this? I don't really know but thats not going to stop me from trying. I shall keep you updated on my progress.
