An article on WWD.com today about bloggers' place in the fashion world made me start to wonder about my own place in the blogging world. This blog is relatively new; I'm still trying to find my style, my stride. Sometimes I feel discouraged because I see other blogs doing similar things so much more successfully. Or I wonder if my blog feels uninspired, because so much of fashion and style is zeitgeist, and bloggers end up writing about the same things at the same time.
This quote summed up part of my anxiety about my blog:
“A lot of people are focused on re-blogging stuff. It’s not actually media — it’s looking at photos and commenting on it. Fast, real-time shoots, sort of guerrilla fashion spreads, are the next revolution.” - Julie Fredrickson of Coutorture
I started this blog because I have a point of view about fashion and style that I wanted to share, and also because I thought it would be great practice for what I hope will be my career - fashion journalism. I'm still trying to find my own way to be relevant and original. Hopefully I'll get it down soon...
