My life in education is finally over, after waiting for the end of education to come in what feel like forever, now its finally over, and I'm feeling slightly lost. I kept assuming when the end of my education came around things would just fall into place (I know it's only been a little over a week since I finish uni, but I didn't expect this empty feeling nonetheless). The realisation that I am actually still unsure what I want to do with my life and now is the time to figure it out is hitting. There are many things I like, and many things I love, but what aspect of my life, what skills and interests do I want to take forward into a career?
It's hit me that I've never done this whole growing up thing before (stating the obvious, I know), I need to decide where I want to live, what I want to do and figure out how to get there. Quite frankly thinking about it all is scaring me to death.
The end of University was so hectic that I didn't really give myself time to process that it was coming to the end and big life changes are on the horizon.
I do have a job at home to go back to, as a nursery nurse, and yes I do enjoy that job, but as the fashion degree suggests, it is no a career path that I intended on staying in. I'm aware that the longer I stay in the job which I'm comfortable in, the more like I am to stay forever. Alongside my million reasons to get a new job, as shallow as this sounds I really want a job where I can wear makeup to work, I feel good the morning take I put lipstick on.
I need to figure out where to start on my job hunt and what I'm looking for, I guess for now I'll go with the approach of applying for everything, hope for something I love.
What now?!

So, here are some images of my final collection on the runway. As you can see I opted to make 4 women's outfits and two men outfits.
I am so proud to think how much I've grown up and all that I've learnt throughout my University experience, both when it comes to fashion, and life in general It's crazy to think I pretty much failed AS textile, twice, and soon enough I'll be graduating with a BA(Honours) degree in Fashion.
Fashion Graduate: My Final Collection
I've finally made it to to the of my degree. As you may know, the third year of a Fashion degree usually consists of creating a final collection from initial inspiration through to designing and making the garments. You then showcase that collection of 6 outfits in a fashion show at the end of the year.
I opted to make both men's and women's clothing. My collection included two dresses, three tops, two pairs of trousers, a pair of culottes, a jumpsuit, two capes and even some leg and neck warmers. I used a range of techniques within my collection, such as quilting and knitting which became main features.

The build-up to the fashion show is very nerve-wracking, having worked so hard on the collection for months before. There's a lot of pressure for your garments to come out the way you'd imaged.
As a third-year student, I got to watch the show, leaving the dressing, hair, makeup and modelling to others, which left me feeling both relaxed and anxious at the same time. I knew anything that went wrong was out of my hands, which is both freeing and daunting. Thankfully nothing did go wrong, with my collection or throughout the entire show.

The show was a success and I am so proud of everyone involved, myself included. I couldn't have asked for it to have gone any better. It is really strange to think my three years of University are over. It has flown by. I'm quite terrified to think it's now time to start my adult life and find a real job... fingers crossed I'll fall into something I love.
