Hello!
It felt weird wearing a skirt again after weeks of wearing shorts. Unfortunately I chose a particularly windy day to do so. What can I say? Weather forecasting was never really my forte. I'm sorry (but not really) that blogging hasn't been a priority of mine lately. As I explained in my last post, life is just too wonderful right now to be worrying about what I wear or taking good pictures. As much as I love having photographs to remember these memories, it's even better actually experiencing them. Sometimes I think about quitting this blog, but it has become such a huge part of my life that it's hard to let it go (I'm really sentimental). I just feel that this blog has outlived its purpose of helping me discover my personal style. I love that I have a style that I can call my own. However when creating this blog, I didn't expect that so many amazing friendships would be formed during the process. I'm thinking of following in Mel's footsteps and start a new blog--one that's geared towards lifestyle rather than fashion. It's just an idea I'm throwing around in my head. Who knows if I feel the same when/if I stop having such a busy real-life social life...? It's tough balancing two social lives: online and real life. Such stupid and shallow problems to have I know.

The one perk of being a fashion blogger is being able to swap with other fashion bloggers. Chloe approached me a few weeks ago and I was so excited! Her package arrived all the way from England carrying this skirt and 3 dresses. The only sad part about swapping is having to return the items, but luckily she has kindly gifted this skirt to me. I love its happy yellow color. It definitely makes getting out of shorts so much easier. I can't wait to show you what else we have swapped!

I'm LA-bound for a few days for some more Summer fun. I'll be back on Saturday or Sunday!

Until next post,
Jasmine

  1. So cute Jazzy, I hope you have fun in L.A.! Also, I never thought of starting a lifestyle blog, seems quite enticing really. But then again, I'm having a difficult time maintaing one blog ;)!

    I'm quite excited to see the rest of your swap items, this skirt is so darling. Also, your bike is amazing, where'd you find it? I'm on the hunt for a very similar one for myself!

  5. Forced blogging is not the way to go. Do what you feel is right for you. You'll end up keeping some of your old friends and opening the door to meeting new people if you decide to start something new. It's about life and moving forward.

  6. I feel the same way!!!! I already started another blog as well. I'm hoping to bring more and more other bloggers onto Clothed Much to make it more of a community modest fashion blog than just MY fashion blog. We'll see!
