Two OOTD's and Deep Thoughts on Blogging

Bonnie 8/09/2010 25 Comments Edit

It's good to be back home! I missed my family terribly, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm mourning the loss off my King size bed, good night's sleep, room service, and Anthropologie within walking distance. I'm sharing my outfit from yesterday and today with you. I decided to include my daughter in my outfit shot from yesterday, because we were dressed alike, and I'm a proud mama! When my husband was taking this picture of us, my mom was watching, and she made a sarcastic comment about how getting our picture made was "so important." It hurt my feelings, but I just let it slide because my mom wasn't feeling good yesterday. However, this morning she brought it up again. She said she thought taking pictures of myself and putting it on a blog was narcissistic and she didn't understand why I wouldn't be embarrased of putting pictures out there for the world to see. This got me thinking. Should I be embarrased? I started this blog because I enjoyed reading other people's fashion blogs, and I thought it would be fun to do one myself. I have a curvy body type, so I thought I could be helpful to people with similar body types. I get asked almost everyday where I get something I'm wearing, so I thought this would be a way of letting people know where they could purchase the things I wear. I look forward to typing on this blog everyday! It makes me happy to talk about fashion with other women. Growing up, I was terribly shy and had very low self-esteem. I still don't have alot of self-confidence, so for my mom to say I'm narcissictic really hurt. Sorry to get so deep on a Monday morning! I hope you all enjoy this blog and that it isn't something I should be embarrased about!

My outfit today is one I bought back in the spring at The Limted. After all the casual outfits last week, I felt like dressing professional today. My Bonnie pumps are officially broken in now and are no longer wearing blisters on my feet! Don't forget to enter my giveaway for some pretty hair clips here!
