I’ve found that my interests go in spurts. I’ll really feel
like sewing one day and take on a project or two. But by the time I finish (or
sometimes before I finish) I find my enjoyment fading. Same thing happens with
reading. I love reading sometimes, but not others. For a while I just loved
this blog. I loved getting ready in the morning and picking out an outfit. I
loved taking and editing the photos. I loved the nice comments ;) And loved
reading other’s fashion blogs to gain inspiration. My fashion has evolved quite
a bit since I began. But then it faded away. Lately I don’t enjoy getting
dressed in the morning. I stare at my bulging closet and find no love for the
things hanging there. I still read other’s blogs and find pretty things I like,
but don’t have. So really all it does it make me want to shop more. But Dave
Ramsey runs a tight budget over here and I don’t have endless funds to shop.
And then I found a nice comment from some random stranger about one of my past
outfits. I looked back at that photo and a few others from months ago. And I
liked it. Not all the outfits I’ve posted I like when I look back, but some I
do. So, I decided I’d look back at all my outfits since I started this blog in
February and pull a list of the outfits I liked best and would want to wear
again. I found 44. Somehow I think this blog has served a whole new purpose for
me. It has cataloged the past several months and now I can look back and edit
for the future. It’s thrilling to find a cute outfit that you want to copy from
someone else’s blog. But it’s also sorta cool to find inspiration from
yourself! And a whole lot cheaper too. I think it might be a little easier to
get dressed this week. And I might even not feel like shopping for a little
while!
