I used to get way more comments a year ago (but had fewer eyeballs out there), because I used to reply to comments. Now I basically don't because it's just a spiral and I'd rather focus on getting the blog out there in other ways. I comment on some people's blogs (i.e. yours) sporadically, but whether I comment or not has nothing to do with whether or not I'm reading it. I (almost) always read your posts and I almost always find what you wear cute, and there's no real rhyme or reason to why I might comment on one and not another. Anyway, you should of course take a break if you're starting to feel like you hate your blog, but please don't go away forever!<br /><br />Also, just look at some of the big blogs... The Clothes Horse for example might only set 20 comments on a post... but you know people are reading and loving it. : )Emily, Ruby Slipper Journeyshttp://rubyslipperjourneys.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125315854820262666.post-38094220666459612032012-01-15T21:42:39.443-05:002012-01-15T21:42:39.443-05:00I know what you mean about the pressure...that'...I know what you mean about the pressure...that's part of why I've started posting less frequently. When you're busy with school and/or work, it gets really hard to be super creative all the time. I feel like blogging is supposed to be fun, and when it's not fun anymore, it's time to take a break (even if it's just for a few days). I love reading your blog and will look forward to reading your posts whenever they come back even if you go on a hiatus!Heather Davishttp://29skirts.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125315854820262666.post-24120730842585860312012-01-12T15:01:43.989-05:002012-01-12T15:01:43.989-05:00Ummm can I just put in a request that you please n...Ummm can I just put in a request that you please not stop blogging! I just stumbled across your blog and I am absolutely in love with it, I want more, and yes, I am demanding like that :) . I can 100% relate to what you're talking about, I however have had such slow blog growth that my question is usually what am I doing wrong, but I admit, I always keep plugging away posting what I want to post because I love doing it. <br /><br />On a lighter note, this outfit is adorable and so so very wearable-as are most of your outfits, from what I've looked at so far, which, in my little blogger opinion, is way better than having 300 comments about an outfit that no one would probably wear out and about for real, all day. So can we please be blog friendies?!

I, too, used to think like that, about what will get me comments, but that became too disheartening for me. So now, if I like the outfit I'm wearing than yeah, I'll snap pictures. But most days, I'm just casual and comfy. <br /><br />And there's nothing wrong with going on a hiatus. I've been on one because of my depression, and now I feel more comfortable and open with myself on my blog. It's the most refreshing feeling.<br /><br />Ps. I am loooooving your outfit! Definitely envious of your bear sweater ;)Kathleen Rhea Galeoshttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1846274098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125315854820262666.post-3808565461899971632012-01-11T13:02:18.372-05:002012-01-11T13:02:18.372-05:00I hope you don't give it up for good! You'...I hope you don't give it up for good! You're one of my favorite blogs because I know there's an update nearly everyday and your clothes are accessible to someone like me who can't afford to shop at expensive boutiques or whatever. My sister and I started a blog last October, and while we're still trying to get the hang of it, no one has subscribed or commented! So it can be discouraging when you don't get anything at all, but it's still fun too.Annanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125315854820262666.post-49970593691942742002012-01-11T09:24:54.362-05:002012-01-11T09:24:54.362-05:00This outfit looks incredibily cute and comfortable...This outfit looks incredibily cute and comfortable at the same time!<br />About what you said, yes, I can totally understand what you mean. I'm kind of obsessed by comments (I think this is a reflection of my insecurity...like I'm screaming, "hey! hey! do you like me? do you like my clothes? please tell me you do!!")Every time I post an outfit I'm there asking myself if my readers will like and sometimes I notice that one of my simplest outfits got more comments than another one that I thought people could like more. It just makes no sense! So, well, we really should start caring less about this.<br /><a href="http://lifeisaromanticpoem.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Life is a romantic poem</a>Giulianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125315854820262666.post-13931248554325024542012-01-11T03:11:31.371-05:002012-01-11T03:11:31.371-05:00Nicole how beautiful your sweater, wanted an equal...Nicole how beautiful your sweater, wanted an equal<br /> kisses rose jpRosehttp://www.life-vida-rose.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125315854820262666.post-78750701088851140322012-01-11T02:43:12.290-05:002012-01-11T02:43:12.290-05:00i feel the exact same way. it also makes me materi...i feel the exact same way. it also makes me materialistic and thinking that if i can't have what these other bloggers have then no one will like me. they won't comment if i don't wear ugly shoes or they won't comment because they've seen this before. <br />the only thing that i like that has come from thinking like this, is i've tried out a lot of new things. and worn things in ways i normally wouldn't.Bethany Kramerhttp://profiles.google.com/betharoonienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125315854820262666.post-22839395330775241982012-01-11T00:23:34.862-05:002012-01-11T00:23:34.862-05:00I love the bear sweater!

I know what you mean about feeling like you have to post outfits other people will like...I live in a little mountain town so high fashion is not usually number one on my priority list! But you know, I blog for me and not for everyone else out there, and I think my readers honestly don't really care if I'm wearing something I see as super fashionable or not. Sometimes I post outfits that I don't think will get any comments, and then they get a ton! So, you never know really! I like your blog and I think this outfit is stylish and interesting, and I don't care whether you are wearing a dress or not!Lucy Florencenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125315854820262666.post-37591916610394188562012-01-10T23:07:57.203-05:002012-01-10T23:07:57.203-05:00Hii!

Of course, if you feel you need a break for your own self I would say go for it! But you will surely be missed on my daily reads.<br /><br />(Also, I won the giveaway you had a few months ago and I just wanted to tell you that I wear the necklace you sent almost every day, love the gloves and socks and have the basket as a display on my bookshelf.

I feel really good about blogging now, because I just post what I want, when I want, and don't really care if people want to read it or not. It's so freeing! Also, give me that bear sweater.

So, on Saturday when I have time, I am freaking out looking for a dress to wear for the blog, when I kinda want to just wear a sweater and jeans :/ I think you should just wear whatever you are comfortable with, I am all for honest, sensible style. It's why I read the blogs that I read! I have to admit that this look is adorable and something I would love to wear. I am also diggin' the new layout.sarahttp://chubbylumpkin.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125315854820262666.post-66910868377453648992012-01-10T18:48:55.405-05:002012-01-10T18:48:55.405-05:00That sweater!

But then I realized, I'm doing what I love (traveling and not posting as many style photos) and at the end of the day my blog is really only relevant or important to (ultimately) just me. So while my readership has declined and comments are very low, I'm the happiest with my blog than I have EVER been (and I've been blogging for three years!). While my content may not bring in the most hits, it accurately reflects who I am and that's exactly how I want it to be. That's why I have a lot more daily life photos that style photos these days.<br /><br />Hope you take some time and figure it out for yourself as well. Ps - I love the bear sweater!Chauceehttp://streetsandstripes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125315854820262666.post-61416437689361104682012-01-10T17:51:30.551-05:002012-01-10T17:51:30.551-05:00Oh no, don't go away, that would be such a sha...Oh no, don't go away, that would be such a shame.
