Blog No More?

Today’s Fashion Attire: Today I’m wearing a black cotton one shoulder batwing top (White House Black Market Outlet $38) dark wash skinny jeans (Gap Outlet $26) and black boots with stud detail (DSW $43).

Outfit Justification:  I went to bed not feeling very well last night. I woke up feeling the same way. These were the first two items I could find that looked clean in the pile of clothes.  I’m not even sure if this looks cute or not, but at this point and time I could care less. At least I’m clothed.

Blog No More?:

Today’s blog has been prompted by a few emails and text that were sent to me mentioning how much people like reading my blog. Also that people have noticed that the blog wasn’t written for almost two weeks. I had actually contemplating not writing it any more. In the beginning the blog was new and I noticed that people were reading it. Over time I noticed that the number of people who were reading it were dropping off. This blog is fairly self-serving. It’s all about me and my crazy life, what I’m wearing, and my addiction to shopping, and the pursuit of this ridiculous dream of being a rock singer. I kept thinking to myself, why the hell would anyone want to read this?  You can get the short version of it on Facebook with a status update. I know writing this blog is therapeutic for me.  But I could never understand why anyone would want to read it. I’ll read a blog here and there, but it’s rare.  I find myself so preoccupied with my own life and I never have the time or opportunity to read about someone else’s life. After a while I thought I was pushing my blog onto others.  I felt like I was pushing my life on to others and frankly that’s not what I’m about.  So I thought maybe I’d stop.

That being said, I’ve received a few notes saying how much they appreciated things that were said in my blog. Or people asking me to start posting again.  So I guess people do want to hear what I have to say about things even if it’s silly, or self-serving. Maybe someone who is not me enjoys reading about my life. Who knows it could end up in a song one day or not. 

This blog was originally started way back when to talk about my clothes, because people were interested in hearing about them. It’s changed and evolved into all kinds of things.  I explore issues like low self-esteem, depression, friendships, self-doubt and weight fluctuation.  Not quite the light and fluffy fashion blog I originally envisioned. But it’s been nice to get these things off my chest and out there. I’m not sure how people on the other side feel about it.

So for now I’m letting you know that I’m not sure if there is a demand for this blog. I’m contemplating not writing it any more. I would love for you to chime in if you’re interested in me continuing this journey of writing.  The last thing I want to do is annoy my friends with something like this.
