Last week the post I wrote about tattoos was selected to be featured on Independent Fashion Bloggers weekly roundup, Links à la Mode. I’m very proud to be among such good company. I recommend checking out the posts by my fellow contributors.
While I typically focus on outfits-of-the-day posts, my dream is to make time to write more thoughtful in-depth pieces, especially as they relate to positive body image and personal growth. You might enjoy a couple other posts I’ve written in the past which were also selected by IFB, Favorite body parts and Shine your light on me.
More than Meets the Eye
Edited by Fajr Muhammad at Stylish Thought
When you visit a fashion blog you often see a stylish blogger posing in a perfectly, put together outfit with gorgeous scenery. What you don’t see is the work that goes into curating and maintaining a fashion blog. This week the theme across IFB was outfit posts: what deems an outfit worthy, what goes into creating a stunning visual post and ultimately the comments (some not so nice) that we receive as style bloggers. Ultimately, blogging is a way to express our love for fashion and personal style but as this week’s links can attest to, there is much more to fashion blogging than meets the eye.
