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 my future, but that’s okay by me. I appreciate your stopping by and would love to hear your comments.

I’m linking up with Jolynne Shane today on Fashion Friday. Please stop in an check out all the great blogs who will be joining us.
