Fashion Blog – For The Everyday Woman
If you like fashion at all, you are probably aware that the New York Fashion Week was this month. These shows occur twice a year, Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. There are four major locations for these events, New York, London, Milan, and Paris. Designers flock to these events to showcase their upcoming fashion lines. Celebrities flock to these events to be seen and show off their fashion style. And fashion bloggers flock to these events to blog about the designers, the stars, the styles, and promote their blogs.
If you watched any of the video’s or read any of those blog’s, you would think EVERYONE dressed like this. Really??? Maybe it is just me, but I can’t see a time when I would wear probably 80-90 percent of those styles. Not everybody attends red carpet events, or gets an invitation to an A-Lister party. So, what are the rest of us to wear?
I’m over 50, living in a small town, and somewhat computer challenged. So why would I start a fashion blog? I decided to start a blog featuring outfits that I wear on a daily basis. I know there is nothing new about that concept. There are hundreds of fashion blogs out there, and my shopping opportunities are limited because of where I live. Cato’s, Rue 21, and Peebles are the only clothing stores in my small little town. It is a 2 hour drive to get to any other stores, and even then you are limited. You learn really fast to work with what you’ve got. Does that mean you can’t look nice? Absolutely not!
I love looking at J’s Everyday Fashions; she was probably the first fashion blog that I started following. She always looks really nice, but she is also really young, and her dresses are a little too short for me. If you have the legs for short dresses, then wear what makes you happy, but I prefer a little longer style. Jo-Lynne Shane was one of my inspirations to take the plunge into the fashion blogger world. She dresses for everyday life, and that is what most of us do. We go to work, watch the kids, cook supper, in other words, we are just everyday women.
I don’t foresee New York, London, Milan, or Paris in the future, but that’s okay by me. I appreciate your stopping by and would love to hear your comments.
Such a relatable and inspiring post! It’s refreshing to see fashion ideas that cater to everyday women who want to feel confident and stylish without overcomplicating things.

I absolutely love this blog! It’s so refreshing to see a fashion blog that celebrates the everyday woman. Your tips on finding stylish yet comfortable outfits are incredibly relatable, and I appreciate how you emphasize confidence over trends. Thanks for Sharing
I’m going home after a long teaching career. I’m very interested in blogging and this post was extremely helpful. I am passionate about fashion, and hope to venture down that avenue in the blogging world. It is very overwhelming, but I feel I am up for the challenge. It’s nice to know there is support out there. You inspire me.
I’ll keep you posted on my journey. Hopefully I’ll be in a fashion picture with you and friends at a fashion bloggers’ conference someday in the near future.
Thanks so much!
“Great Post, I chose to focus on the crowdfunding niche. It was a 2 billion dollar industry last year and is projected to be a 5 billion dollar industry this year. I recommend using Fiverr to use graphic designers for first time bloggers. I did use the logo designed for five dollars at the top of my site (bottom now) but stopped using it because it didn’t look good on mobile.
What do you think about just having your site’s name at the top without a graphic design so the site looks good on mobile? I love the premium wordpress theme that I use and didn’t want to change it.”
Tania – I love your blog. I grew up in Roanoke and my sister lives in Monroe County in WV so I can identify with your location. I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma now but reading your blog puts me right back in SW Virginia. You’ve come up with some great looking outfits and I especially enjoy your use of color. Thanks for you inspiration. Sixty-three is not old either! Sallie
I was searching for a new, updated look. All I can say is thank you! I am fashion challenged. This could help.
I love how you put the information, in a way that we all get it and love it!
As I would express it, doing a great post takes a lot of Brain power, and burns a lot of Neurons! But if you do it right, you get to change someone else´s life, when they read you— So, Let´s burn some Neurons!
Thanks Ashley. I had only been blogging for about a month on this post, so it was a work in progress. Lol! I am so glad you found my blog, and I hope you come back often.
Love the style
So happy to have found this site! You look amazing, great hair! I follow Cindy and Jolene and now I can follow you. Love the looks that real woman wear.
WOW! Sandy, you have just humbled me. This two ladies are such an inspiration for me, and I read their post all the time.
