Why I Will Never Be A Fashion Blogger
I am the first to admit, I enjoy reading fashion blogs. Seeing other "normal" (as in, not models/actresses/stylists) women around my age come up with awesome outfits with pieces from a variety of price points is quite inspirational to me. Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere, Blair from Atlantic-Pacific, and Kristina from Pretty Shiny Sparkly always look so put together and gorgeous. Of course I can't forget Lauren of From My Grey Desk and her sister Kate from The Small Things, who put together great outfits with pieces from places like Loft and Target. All of these ladies have a great eye for style and putting outfits together that look awesome as well as age-appropriate and stylish.
Over the last three years, I've gone through somewhat of a clothing existential crisis. I am petite (size 0, XS for most brands) and I have a really hard time finding clothes that fit. I used to shop at Hollister and American Eagle all the time because those were the only places that carried clothing that fit me (I still and will always buy jeans from Hollister...that's the only place I have found that has jeans that consistently fit me and make my butt look awesome :P)
When I realized that my 12 and 13-year old cousins were wearing the same kind of clothing I was, I got rid of most of my AE/Hollister pieces mostly from fear of looking like I'm a mid-twenty something trying to look and act younger than I am.
Anyways, lately I spend most of my time dressed like this:
(in scrubs)
...or like this
(in my MATC Nursing sweatpants).
When I go to school, I wear jeans and this little ensemble:
(North Face fleece and my lululemon Vinyasa scarf).
If I decide to get fancy, I wear this of a variation of this:
(grey shirt, dark jeggings, grey leg warmers, brown boots).
Basically, I am a fashion blogger's nightmare. :P
But I have awesome shoes (those pink ones in the last picture? yeah, those are my wedding shoes).
So if any of you were wondering why I never do outfit posts, this is why. I will happily, however, take a picture of myself in my workout gear and post that, mostly because all my stuff makes me look super fit. :)
