1. When it comes to outfit posts on your own blog, be honest are they what you actually wore that day?
100 percent yes. Either I just come home from work and take pics or I have just came from church or some where and take pics after that. I have to wear my clothes that I wore that day. Or I like taking pics at home of me in my outfits.
2. For a fashion blogger, working in a corporate environment can be tricky. How do you mesh your day job with your personal style choices?
My individuality does not change but I also do not work in a corporate environment, I work for a non-profit organization and I cannot wear jeans, flip flops or cutouts to name a few. So since I can't wear jeans I completely do a 360 and wear dresses, skirts, blouses and trouser pants etc. I love color and accessories so I brighten up my wardrobe by adding those pieces to my outfits.
3. When you get dressed in the morning, do you think what should I wear to work or what should I wear for the blog?
I get my outfits ready the Sunday before the work week and accessorize my jewelry and shoes so I am ready for each day. I have an active life away from my blog so my blog is not the first thing in the morning I think about.
4. Do professionals you interact with ever make comments about your clothing choices?
All the time. Even though I accessorize with jewelry, belts, headbands and purses I am always considered looking professional and put together. It looks like I have more clothing than I actually have because I work my outfits in so many different ways. I learned that technique from my mother, invaluable information. I have even been asked by a some colleagues if I could be their personal stylist.
5. Some bloggers openly admit to wearing outfits only for the blog post. What's your opinion on that?
In my opinion I will not judge anyone because it's their blog and they can do what they want with it. I can only speak for myself and I wear the outfits that day when I or my husband takes pics of me in them. My hubby enjoys taking the pics and it's a lot of fun. I am very critical of the pics and he helps keep me grounded.
That's so sweet that your husband takes your photos for you and enjoys it!
ReplyDeleteI must take a page out of your book and organize outfits in advance - that is so organized!
Thanks Veshoevius! It takes some effort to get my clothes ready and iron everything and put them on hangers because I also get my husband's clothes ready too. It can take me about an hour to an hour an a half but it's worth it. My hubby will pick out his own clothes most of the time and will ask me for advice when needed.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how people can dress up just for a blog post. LOL Maybe because I just don't have the time. I hate taking pictures, but since I've started taking them for my blog I've become a little more agreeable to taking them. However, I have to take them before work...otherwise I'd look a mess! Taking a picture after teaching 20 students for 8 hours=no good! I usually take pictures before church, too...just in case God wants to have His way and I end up looking a mess after church. HA!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Friend Friday comment love on my blog!
