It all started with Pinterest two Christmases ago. I hesitantly but hopefully pinned a few fashion photos of looks I liked onto my previously untouched 'Fashion' board. I had never really been 'into' fashion before in my life. I liked the idea of being stylish, but I had no idea what my personal style was, nor how to even begin to be more 'fashionable.' So I just began to pin with abandon and hope for the best.
Then I discovered fashion blogs via Pinterest. I instantly began devouring them like a Harry Potter book. How did these women do it? They looked so chic, so put together, so grown up & womanly. And I wanted to look more like that. I still dressed like a slouchy college student most of the time and realized I didn't really know the first thing about anything in the realm of fashion.
And I still don't (really). But I'm trying. And I'm learning so much. And it's super fun!
I started following some fashion blogs for the pretty outfits, but continued to read them because I felt like I got to know the ladies writing them. All the while, I was learning so much about how to dress myself and look better. I am discovering what I like and don't like, and I am a WAY smarter shopper now & enjoy shopping a million bajillion times more than I used to.
Soooooo all this to say, I'm not going to turn into a straight-up, for realz fashion blogger. BUT I just downloaded the Polyvore app on my phone and I discovered it's super fun! (New hobby!!!!!) I can window shop, create collages, and it's another way I think I'll discover my personal style preferences.
And I thought I may as well share some of my creations with you. Because I like it when other bloggers share their fashion finds with me. I have really liked Fossil stuff for a few years, so here are a few favorites I found while browsing.
(For those of you unfamiliar with the fashion blogging world, the links where you can buy the items pictured are at the bottom.) Enjoy!
