Summer reading

I read a lot about fashion on line. I have a subscription to Women's Wear Daily (that my mommy paid for because I needed it for a journalism project), I read fashionista and the cut on New York Magazine's website. I'm impatient when I wait for rag trade to come up on Jezebel. I read Elle's fashion blog as well. I also read a lot of fashion blogs maintained b just regular people who show off their style, what they're wearing, their thoughts. I can spend hours and hours reading the old posts of a blog that I've just found. In general, i really like those kinds of blogs, though sometimes I don't like the writing voice or what have you and after reading a page I won't continue on. I've considered turning this into one of those types of blogs, but I can never decide. Sometimes I feel like certain bloggers come off as a bit pretentious. And I don't want to be one of those people. Though, maybe by consciously making that decision, I wouldn't fall into that trap. But who knows? I feel like if I had a group of friends who cared about fashion the same way I would be more confident about doing that. Though I did something to help combat the insecurity. I joined weardrobe, and I post my outfit photos, and getting positive feedback is really nice. I think that might be the most important part of the fashion blog community. It seems to me a lot of people feel out of place because of their love for fashion or their strange personal style or even just because they're wearing dresses when other people are wearing sweatpants. You can find a lot of like minded people. Or even people who aren't like-minded, but people who are interesting who have different ideas and open you up to new things. And I like that.
