She said, putting how I feel about outfit-blogging in words perfectly, "The flip side of all this, of course, is the argument that if you’ve gone to the trouble of creating a website, taking a photo of your outfit, and then posting it publicly, you must be implying that you consider this particular outfit to be exemplary. Blog-worthy. Something to admire and emulate. Allow me to state unequivocally that I never think this myself about my own outfits. I am totally serious. This is not logic I would’ve even considered if others hadn’t presented it to me. I post my outfits because I enjoy dressing and want to encourage others to enjoy dressing, because I am not built like a model but still love style and fashion, and because you’ve told me that you enjoy seeing them. Although I certainly hope that my outfits, in general, will encourage other women to express themselves through dress and celebrate their bodies through clothing choices, I never think, “This. This outfit is THE BEST. People need to see this.”
That said, here's an outfit I wore the other day to run errands in, before the real autumn chill set in. I don't think I even actually needed the cardi.
Dress: The Clearance Shed (gift from my friend Carley)
Camisole: Marks & Spencer
Sandals: Hush Puppies from Stead and Simpson
Cardigan: Bon Marche (on sale)
Necklace: Sainsbury's (gift from my friend Rebecca)
