But I still LOVE to read other people's blogs and do so almost daily. I get lots of ideas from them.
Such as:
- Pattern Mixing. LOVE IT! Plaids with florals? Where do I sign up?
- The wide array of ways to wear chambray. I bought a chambray shirt at Old Navy and wondered how I ever was able to get dressed without it???
- COLORED TIGHTS. My one true dream in life is to own a pair of tights in every color that was ever known to man.
But I also get lots of frustrations.
Many of the more "successful" blogs always feature less than stout women, it seems. (Note I said many, not all.) There are great blogs for the plus-size ladies, the tiny ones (everytime I hear how great it is to shop in the kids department, I die a little inside) but none, it's seems, for the in-between!
All these lovely, child-section-shopping women always seem to get lots of cute stuff c/o amazing places like ModCloth. Oh wait, ModCloth isn't that amazing because everything is TINY.(except the shoes) I couldn't even dream of buying two dresses and sewing them into one to fit me. And I am a size 12...not THAT large!!!!!
I just get really frustrated when it's like "look at me! so cute in this FREE DRESS that doesn't even exist in your size!"
Ok. That was my rant. And why oh why have I titled this post as I did?
Because I want some more suggestions of blogs to read! From you! My 13 readers!
My ideal and totally unreasonable fantasy blog:
Woman who has my exact same body
Who likes to shop in thirft stores, Target, estate sales and online...FOR REAL CHEAP
And who likes a bit of classic, mixed with some vintage and fun pieces, in totally flattering shapes
And always looks totally polished with a funky, artisitic and unexpected edge.
I mean, is that too much to ask??? Really? Really?
