One part of me says "it's my blog, I should do whatever I want with it" and the other part of me says "I am responsible of what I present and I should be clearly constant." But I think that just discussing the matter here allows me to be more clear about the fact that even if I enjoy certain items, it doesn't mean I'm all for mindless consumption.Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04821745561347238069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7212489257639255005.post-55207001002126790632012-05-04T23:39:59.891-04:002012-05-04T23:39:59.891-04:00I find that idea of sharing a purchase/item depend...I find that idea of sharing a purchase/item depending on significance wise, and interesting to read about. I feel that if I venture more towards that side of blogging I should take after that, as I find your way of discussing style very thoughtful and not show-offy or publicity-like.Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04821745561347238069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7212489257639255005.post-52842008342153744602012-05-04T23:33:39.470-04:002012-05-04T23:33:39.470-04:00I'd say to hell with whether those posts are f...I'd say to hell with whether those posts are fitting or not--if fashion and design are part of your life, you shouldn't stop yourself from discussing them! I have to say, I enjoyed your few outfit posts in the past, and I would enjoy seeing new ones :)<br />After reading your comment and others', and thinking about the situation, I have been considering outfit posts more seriously as a way to reduce my own consumption. More on that in a near future, perhaps!Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04821745561347238069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7212489257639255005.post-79576066746565025892012-04-09T13:11:19.121-04:002012-04-09T13:11:19.121-04:00i feel awareness and conscious about oneself and y...i feel awareness and conscious about oneself and your surroundings is marvelous and a wonderful start for collective and individual responsibility. everything within moderation is completely fine...overconsumption is problematic. and on another note, censorship and self-censorship is also problematic...<br />i think it is most important to live life to its fullest and to be respectful to yourself and others--in every possible direction & meaning of that word. and i agree with lin, you're not showing off...<br />and re: the fashion blogs, they have put me off of magazines and fashion...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04049943168027678461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7212489257639255005.post-75229863511796661082012-03-23T11:34:46.446-04:002012-03-23T11:34:46.446-04:00I agree.

If I do post about my own things, it's usually something I've owned and loved for some time and I like to share why - in a way it helps me stay inspired by what I already have.<br /><br />Sometimes I do post about new stuff because I'm toe-curlingly excited about it, but I'd like to do that less - halfway through I always feel like I'm justifying a purchase to myself. <br /><br />But I will share about buying something new if I feel like the experience was an interesting/significant one. <br /><br />Anyway it's clear to me your blog isn't about wanting stuff or showing off stuff!linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00638024559737049131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7212489257639255005.post-87389079836812602592012-03-22T16:58:08.023-04:002012-03-22T16:58:08.023-04:00I have a similar issue with wanting sometimes to d...I have a similar issue with wanting sometimes to do an outfit post or two, but I'm the same, also, in that I like looking at what other's wear and gaining inspiration from their style yet can't help feeling it's all a little self indulgent and egotistical sometimes. Yet I still love the blogs and looking at them!<br />I also don't know if outfit posts would fit in with my blog anyway, it's predominantly my photography, which is life based of course but not fashion based at all!<br />I also want to express my interest in these things! So sometimes I do a random post on designs or inspiration and things I've been making. <br />And man, I think if it's a good mix (like what I consider you have here with material things you find inspiring but also loads of music and film and philosophy) then do whatever you want! Especially if it's stuff from solo crafters like Tara-Lynn! But I totally understand your uncertainty. I'd love to see some of your wardrobe though! :)Jessicathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09063022007324470522noreply@blogger.com
