Your red jacket is awesome and the wide leg sailor pants....awesome-r! I love this look.
I love thrifting. About 80 to 85% of what I own was thrifted. My sis doesn't like thrifting for all the reasons you mentioned but me, I don't mind at all for all the good reasons you've also pointed out. Friends see my wardrobe and think that I have a lot of money to throw away on clothes. I know I don't.
The good thing about thrifting here is that the clothes come from different parts of the world, mostly Asian brands and most of the quality is great.

Love the mix of masculine military vest and very feminine pink skirt!

Serious bragging rights you've got there, Frannie! State Senator! Wow! Kudos to Conner!
Now I've seen a lovely way to style my brown skirt. Cute look.
I wish I knew suggestions to give about Kaden. I'm sorry that I don't.

I understand its good to be responsible about spending money, but when a Giorgio Armani item is that dirt cheap you'll be needing jail to keep me from getting them. Looooove your dress; all the pockets and buttons! it's so fab with the leo shoes.

Love your relaxed look. Acceptance of people from a different culture, ethics, sexuality, color, e.t.c is something a lot of people (myself inclusive) need to learn. I think that it's an individual thing. And is a pointer to how open-minded and humane someone truly is. I think that at first there is the shock to overcome and then if someone is open-minded they become accepting of the other person.
I must confess I did wonder about some of your work outfits, but you're lucky τ̲̅☺ have such relaxed dress code at work. I like the occasional power suit myself but on the regular I don't. Cute monochrome look. Love your necklace.

LOVE IT FRANNIE!!! What you wrote is AWESOME girl! How horrid for one to write and pigeonhole a particular group. Everyone is here for different reasons (personal growth, hobby, making new friends, business, showcase their talents etc.). I started only a month ago and have met some amazing, intelligent, and talented women on here. I was just given an award today! Yes, there are bad apples. But what group/organization doesn't have it? I commend your post and your thoughts. Thank you for sharing! BTW...love your dress and shoes :D Very mod girl! ((HUG))

Great post!
ReplyDeleteI think the main negativity towards bloggers has everything to do with those main stream bloggers who are snobs and vain and rude. Those are the face of fashion blogs and that's what people see. But a good portion of the fashion bloggers are just like you said, real people and that's why I think it's interesting and very few fashion blogs indulge on the vanity.
Totally! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHERE, HERE! Great post. I love that you verbalized so much of what I think often. It's true, we aren't really modeling fashion, rather than a way to rethink what you have in your closet, or smile. I have however felt like my self esteem can take a hit because I don't look or dress like girls like Rumi...So, I just took her out of my blog feed. I have never looked in a magazine and thought "I'd totally wear that and have all the elements in my closet". I can definitely do that with the blogs I read though. And you are one of them :-)

Okay, first of all I read your blog daily but can never comment t work due to crap computers... I love this post! So true! I think bloggers have style while models just wear what they are given. Bravo! I'm tweeting a link to this if ya don't mind!!
ReplyDeleteI think no matter what its in reference to, I find the phrase "how could you ever find the time for that" offensive. Because there are only so many hours in the day, but everyone, and I do mean everyone, finds the time to do the thing they want to do.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's watching a tv show, maybe its going to the gym, or stopping on the way to work for coffee. It could be cooking a three course dinner every night. Doesn't matter, because if it's not something you value, than you throw out that damn phrase.
Just because you don't make time in your life for it, doesn't give you the right to criticize others.
And as for the vanity issue, it takes a lot of confidence to be able to take these photographs, with our regular old normal girl bodies and without professional lighting or retouching. it's not like these are My Space headshots, there is a thought and care involved, there is art going on here.
Some people might not see it, but it's there.
I don't mind at all and I am so glad that you enjoyed it. I so much appreciate you reading every day--that makes me so happy! As you know, you are a daily read of mine as well. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteSo true Lyddie. I LOVE your comment. Thank you so much. You are one of my biggest inspirations and I love the blogs that I follow! This comment really meant a lot.
