One of the main questions I get about this blog is “why don’t you post pictures of your own outfits?”
I got this question so much, I figured it was time to address it to the broad reading audience. I have several answers:
1. I do sometimes share pictures of my own items or ensembles
2. There are a million other blogs out there dedicated exclusively to what the author wears, and they all do an excellent job. I really don’t need to add my own outfits to the internet frenzy.
3. My blog isn’t about my style or the contents of my closet(s). It’s about style and beauty in general, and my take on those topics.
4. I really love looking at those outfit-a-day blogs, but it can be hard to learn much about style from them, other than learning that the author is much better at vintage/thrift-store shopping than I am. Seriously! All those ladies out there have some terribly enviable vintage finds, but it doesn’t always help much when you looking to learn about putting yourself together in a way that works. After all, I’ll never be able to score a vintage coat that is fitted the same way as one I’d find on a blog.
My blog is really geared for those who are new to developing their personal style, or still finding their style “voice”. I prefer to write about concepts, principles, and broader topics than just what I’ve got collecting dust bunnies in my closet, so that my readership can learn how to find their own style statement without coming out looking exactly like me.
Because so many of you have asked, I’ll try to post a little bit more of my own stuff, but it will never be the focus.
I do hope you continue to read my posts, because I terribly enjoy writing them! So much fun.
