The ootd craze has been very popular on you tube. We are now in a generation of how do i do this. Thanks to websites like ehow, where you can find how to pretty much do anything, even the most ridiculous and simple, common sense things. But thats the problem, we do not seek help from real people, like family members and friends or colleagues, we do not challenge our minds through trial and error. Why? well because the internet has all the answers, and its all on a click of a button. There are some things people are too embarressed to talk about or curiously ask their friends, so i can understand if the internet is the first point of call.
But what worries me is that we are turning into a generation so reliant on the internet to solve all our problems and give us answers, it makes us lazy and also effects communication skills, social skills and can even be a problem academically, in regards to plagiarism. But the main focus is out fit of the day. This title, which i first found baffling relates to people , mostly young women and teenagers posting videos of their outfits for a certain day on you tube. These videos show you how to dress like them, im sorry, but i do not need someone to tell me how to dress. But on the otherhand i must admit it is quite entertaining. And if i do see an outfit i like, i will try to find it, but i wouldnt want to get the entire outfit, maybe a few things like the accessories or shoes. Just imagine bumping into the person who posted the video and she recognises what you are wearing and asks if you have been watching her posts online. Thats a bit embarressing.
One of my friends has just started her ootd, a few months ago and she has started getting lots of hits on you tube. What i like about Whitney Bennets posts is the variety (she does casual to traditional african dresses), she shows her target audiance ( female university students) how to dress on a budget, this includes, where to get the clothes from and close ups from different angles. Check out her videos below and why dont you check her and other ootd's on you tube, just follow this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96eIb6kcREc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwocpXfR8CI .
