Blogging with Skeletons in Your Closet.....

Hey readers and subscribers! Happy Holidays! So today I wanted to blog a little different. No outfit post no pictures, just my thoughts and words. I was talking to a friend recently and she mentioned to me that she couldn't see herself being a blogger. I asked why she felt that way, and she simply stated " Girl I did to many things in my past to be parading around on the Internet. Someone might recognize me."







Its funny because when those words left her mouth I remember my body started to process my own fear. My hands started to sweat and my throat got dry due to memories of my past flashing before my eyes. Never in a million years have I thought of the repercussions of my past affecting blogging. It wasn't even a thought! I just wanted to blog and show-case my sense of style. But after my friend said that I started to wonder, do other bloggers have this same fear? You know the fear of an ex trying to "expose" you, or the gripping truth of  "the other woman" posing as a subscriber. And a bitter ex friend who knows all your secrets and has a platform to reveal them. I know a majority of bloggers get some hate from Instagram, Facebook, or Tumblr, but how do you process that hate when there is someone who tries to demise your character with things from your past?
 
 
 


So far my blogging experience has been pleasant. Since I'm working from a smaller platform of viewers and readers the coast has been clear from trolls, scrubs, and Internet thugs. Oh but do trust that there never goes a day when I check my emails or read comments that I don't get anxiety about someone dissing me or write a dissertation of when I hook up with an ex from 10 years ago. Although I'm not much of fan, I couldn't imagine what it was like for Kim Kardashian  to have an actually porn tape and still try to build a brand. So I want to know your thoughts on the subject, especially from fellow bloggers. Do you have fear of expanding your blog due to skeletons in your closet? Have you ever been confronted with a viewer who tried to expose you? How would you handle if someone tried to expose you on your blog, Instagram, or Facebook?





XOXO

Okay today is my last Men's Wear Outfit! I appreciate all of you who have visited or even left a comment. I really thank you guys!! Now since it's my last outfit for this series I decided to go a little bit more dramatic. I wore a man's cardigan from H&M and a white linen shirt from Old Navy. Once again ladies I took only a few pieces from a man's wardrobe and to made it my own! Now the show stopper was my fabulous sequined skirt from Forever 21! This will forever be one of my favorite purchases from them! This whole look could be worn for any occasion! Simply by adding or removing pieces from this look you can go to daytime or nighttime in an instance! My whole purpose of this series was to show you that you can take simply pieces from your man's closet and make it your own. Now all you have to do is avoid hearing your man now complain about his missing shirt! I hope you ladies got inspired and please come back for more of my outfits!!!

Men's Wear Outfit #2....

Trench Coat/ Old Navy, Men's Shirt/ Old Navy, Skirt/ Forever 21, Shoes/ Charlotte Russe, Purse/ Thrifted



Hello Ladies! And welcome back to my Men's Wear Series!! This outfit consist of a man's printed shirt! You might remember this shirt from my post labeled " Lumber Jill" . I decided to revamp the look by using the same shirt ,my nice army green pencil skirt from Forever 21, and my trench coat from Old Navy! This outfit would be perfect for an office look! Now when it comes to wearing your husbands skirt you can wear it as I did as a shirt or if it's to big you can simply add a belt to create a nice skirt dress! Also remember the fun in wearing their clothes is to take pieces of their wardrobe and incorporate them into your outfit. It's not to wear everything from head to toe from your man's closet. With that said tomorrow will be my last post from my Men's Wear Series so please come back and comment on your thoughts of wearing your man's clothes!!


XOXO

Men's Wear Outfit # 1....




Husband's Sweater/ Old Navy, Shirt/ Walmart, Jeans/ Forever 21, Shoes/ Charlotte Russe, Clutch/ Forever 21, Sunnies/ Forever 21, Necklaces/ Claire's



Ladies I wanted to come up with another fun way to stretch your closet and your dollars! Now I wanted to get creative by wearing clothes from a man's closet. Yep... I wear men's clothes! I know some of you women aren't BBB's (Big Boned Beauties) so I still think there are ways for you to turn your man's clothes into something wearable for you too!! My first outfit I decided to take a man's sweater that I got from Old Navy and pair it with some jeans and a nice buttoned up shirt underneath the sweater. I added a couple of pearl necklaces to add to my preppy casual outfit. Now ladies, I understand not everyone can fit their man's clothes but take what I did for instance, I wore a sweater as a top. Now if the clothes are way larger than you use his sweater as a dress! Just add some legging to make it like a tunic or if it's really big wear his sweater and add some thigh high boots to it!! So ladies get inspire and let's play dress with or men's clothes!! Hope to see you tomorrow I have another Men's Wear Outfit!!


XOXO
