Hibernation

10 4

If I was going to go into hibernation, I might wear something like this. Not only is it thematically appropriate, considering the bears on the sweater, but it's also super comfortable. Speaking of hibernation (just go with me here for the sake of the segue), I've been considering a blog hiatus for some time now. When you get dressed in the morning and think to yourself, "What can I wear that will get me comments/tumblr posts" there's a problem. I've been so antsy lately about the decreasing amount of comments I'd been receiving for a while. I mean, when you post pictures of yourself, it's hard to think your appearance isn't the problem. So instead of being a normal person, and wearing whatever the hell I want, some mornings I gear my outfit more towards what I think people will like, which in turn makes me feel like a fraud. For example, this morning I thought to myself, "Well I want to wear jeans, but I should wear a dress since I'll be able to take photos." After rifling through my skirts and dresses I basically said, "Screw it, I'm wearing my bear sweater." And here I am, bear sweater and all.

There's this bummer misconception within the fashion blogging community, I think, that every outfit has to be groundbreaking or interesting or innovative. Or maybe that's just my own misconception. Either way, it's such a silly idea. My blog is a daily outfit blog, in which I post what I wear, whatever it is, dresses or pants, skirts or tee shirts. Lately though, I've had this foolish idea that everything I wear has to be super interesting or it's not worthy of being posted. I'm trying to get past that and just do what I want, but the fact that blogging has been making me feel a bit crummy has me considering taking a break from it. I doubt I will, but you know, I guess I just wanted to get these thoughts out there.
