Fashionista

Lately I've been reading a lot of fashion blogs. They are pretty intriguing to me, and I like seeing how other girls put outfits together. What I notice is that these fashion bloggers seem to have an unlimited amount of money to purchase new hip looks. Or somehow they get sponsored by a clothing line or online store and get free clothes. Or they advertise these clothes from their sponsors that are WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. How is a girl to dress if she can't afford to buy these lovely fashionable things? And lastly, the fashionistas who write these blogs (that I really do enjoy reading) are typically super skinny and have jobs that allow them to wear whatever the heck they want (like mini skirts)! What about the young, slighty chubby, struggling professional? I've been kicking around the idea of writing my own version of a fashion blog - only focusing mainly on how to have versatile pieces and finding inexpensive things. I haven't totally made a commitment to do this yet, but I might try it a few times and see how things go. Hopefully I won't lose any of my 8 followers. I do love shopping, fashion, and getting dressed. However, I don't have the funds to keep up with the latest trends or buy designer stuff. So today, friends, I am proud to report I'm wearing a lovely black wrap-around dress I bought from Wal-Mart like 6 years ago and some grey tights bought at the outlet stores. Hope you have a wonderful day.
