I must admit that when I first started this blog, I tried way too hard. I wore outfits just for the sake of the blog. I've never shown something on here that I didn't wear in real life, as in put the clothes on, took pictures, then got into my real clothes to start the day. No judgment for those who do that, I just don't have the time and energy for it since blogging is not my full time job. I think I was too scared that no one would want to read if I wore simpler outfits. That was three years ago and, now, although I have not made it rich off of the blog, I much more enjoy blogging and showing simpler things because not only is it more comfortable but I feel like I am being more honest. If that doesn't translate in followers, analytics, moolah, that's okay but I like Dainty and Decadent and hope you do to.
You look great! I love the color of your top, the necklace looks so pretty with it :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYes I do love this blog, and because of the reason you stated! I'm the same way Maria. I've never worn anything just for the sake of it. Some of these girls look like they are off the covers of a magazine! Very editorial. Nice, but not practical. I think because we don't blog full-time, we have to just keep it real LOL.
ReplyDeleteThank you :-) It's just not practical for me to pretend to wear something I don't actually wear and I always wonder if what I really wear is of interest at all. I ain't got time for dress up! lol
DeleteThat outfit is so cute! I esp love the necklace. Keep doing your thing, girl!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteThanks for your honesty, I think we've all been there. Love this real life outfit today.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I appreciate that :-)
DeleteLoving your necklace, lady!
ReplyDeleteAnd there's nothing wrong with simple- and kudos to you for staying true to your style and not just doing things for the sake of the blog. (We've all been there!)

Thank you! I hope this blog is of interest to anyone but me and my sister lol I appreciate your kind words :-)
DeleteTotally on board. I had a post a year or two related to being a "flats girl" because I realized that oddly I wore heels a heck of a lot more on my site than I did in real life. I'm a flats girl. yeah, I love heels but...
ReplyDeleteanyway, you look adorable -- LOVE this look + that you look good in it!
