Blogging

Several bloggers have been noting anniversaries of their blogs, so let me join the group.  It was one year ago that I resurrected an old non-fashion blog and turned it into what I have today.  That blog was on an outmoded site (LiveJournal) from which I later moved here to be able to post better pictures.

My first post was, in hindsight, embarassingly candid.  I wasn't sure what was out there in the blogging-world and was tentative about how people would react to me.  Amazingly, nice people like FreedaMeg and Diana gave me positive feedback and encouragment from the outset.  That helped settle my anxiety and allowed my blog to blossom like a pretty flower.

Blogging has, for me, been especially valuable.  More than just showing clothes, blogging allows me to express deeper parts of myself in ways I'd always dreamed about.  And making good friends through blogging has been icing on the cake.

Thank you for supporting my blog and being part of my personal growth.  Conversing with you guys has been one of the major highlights of my life.

It's really refreshing to read and your outfit pictures have sparked some new ideas in my head, as well. I'm looking forward to seeing what you bring in the new year and seeing some pictures from your new camera!

  5. Happy anniversary! Hard to believe you've been blogging for an entire year now, but then again I haven't been following you since the beginning, either. I'm so glad you decided to start blogging again, and, more than that, I love that you're FASHION blogging. You have such a unique perspective on style, and, really, I think the blogosphere needs more of that.
