Post #4: NY Times Blog Review

The New York Times is known for their scholarly writing and intellectual thoughts. While reading the fashion blog, I realized that they use a lot of jargon to describe the latest fashions. They are very descriptive and specific, and although you're reading about fashion, it can teach you a lot about writing. I'm going to review an article on Gucci's show at Milan Fashion Week and analyze the descriptive words and jargon used.

Trouser suits
