I've never been able to precisely express why (in addition to the shear waste of it) that so annoys me. <br /><br />It annoys me because it is much too simplistic. It's cute, and dramatic, and probably quite traumatic (I assume anyone who looks at them and tells them to go pound sand is culled from the show) but it is also unrealistic. One is more than the cute outfits the show deems wearable.<br /><br />It also explains why you never see people over 50 on these shows. Because we would tell these one dimensional people to go pound sand.The Sheep.. who are so fashion forward they wear wool year 'round!http://www.woolandfeathers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018534117476042012.post-43500433430146102032010-06-27T11:17:01.213-04:002010-06-27T11:17:01.213-04:00I read fashion blogs primarily for inspiration so ...I read fashion blogs primarily for inspiration so I like to see the "nice" outfits. That said, I also enjoy the "behind the scenes" posts that some bloggers write just because I'm curious how other people live their lives. I read your blog because you tend to write regularly on fashion theories. My favorite post of yours was about more interesting alternatives to black pants.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935784577211326451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018534117476042012.post-10257384691749013372010-06-25T14:44:10.280-04:002010-06-25T14:44:10.280-04:00I think the level of editing you do has to do with...I think the level of editing you do has to do with what you hope to gain from your blog. I only post a couple outfits a week (and sometimes just one or even none). I often repeat outfits, and I don't usually see a need to blog them after first time I wear them, because with my blog I care a lot about the community around it and the friends I make with it - so if I've already posted an outfit, I don't think many new connections or much new conversation could spring from it a second or third time.<br /><br />And some days I just don't care and I throw on whatever is clean and presentable. Or it's a day I'll be cleaning the house/going to the gym/working outside and I just wear clothes I don't care about getting sweat/bleach/dirt on. I don't blog those days either because I'm not emotionally invested in those outfits. The outfits I post are ones I put thought/emotion into. Usually that means I like them, but sometimes I still post things and say "I really hoped this would work out and I tried hard on it, but I still don't like this outfit." Even when I don't like an outfit, often the conversations that come from those posts are the most helpful - people give suggestions, point out what they think is wrong with it, what I could do differently, etc. and that helps me see my closet from fresh eyes.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17840377765937929376noreply@blogger.com
