What I Really Think About Fashion Blogs.

I have been away, far far way. My sister was prepping for school this morning and asked me whether I was going to work. I said "Yes, at 12 but I have work to do." 'But you graduated, why are you still writing papers." You know, I had the luxurious fantasy that after college, I would just sit in bed, watch television, eat, play, travel around the world and experience its beauty. But I'm just applying to graduate school, working part time, and reading essays. That's a lot of essays and not a lot of appreciation of the world's beauty. I do think I should be writing more often regardless of all this essay business you know. Just one more essay a day on the blog will not make me an essayist...haha

Anyways, back to the subject for discussion: Fashion blogs. I follow about 5 fashion blogs on Instagram because I simply love the way clothes and color come together. I've wanted to become one of these ladies, wearing so many interesting clothes and then having really nice hair and standing next to a really artistic building but how easy it is to be a fashion blogger? 

1. I'm sure you need a really good camera and someone with an artistic perspective to take all these picture.
I love taking pictures. Love! Love! Love!. But whenever I give the camera to my mother, she doesn't take them well. She does not get the right angle or she simply cuts my head off. My sister is so busy reading her books she would think its a waste of time to follow me to the park and take pictures of me. I can just imagine her saying 'no' with her eyes. I can take the camera outside and put it on timed mode but by the time I turn around to pose someone would have probably stolen the camera (well something along those lines.) And so sometimes when I look really great, like last Sunday when I wore those high-waisted patterned trousers, I have no one to take a picture of me. 

 

2. Where do I get all the money to buy all these really cool clothes/hair/shoes?
As much as these blogs are inspiring, they get me thinking A LOT about my money. These lovely girls have a haul like every month. If I go shopping every month (wait but I don't have enough money to go shopping every month... it's not even possible right now.) The point is, I can't go shopping every month and so I can't look cool! I tried thrift shopping but that is also expensive in New York. Plus there is not room enough in my closet for these clothes. But I really want to know where these ladies work and how they are able to shop so much without going broke.
