I finally made it through 30x30 (that is 30 outfits in 30 days with the same 30 items of clothing). If you want to see the clothes I picked out for it go here. It feels good to finally get my clothes back!!! WAHOOO! But, 30 for 30 really made me get creative and challenged me. Now I know I can put together multiple outfits with my clothes now…which makes me excited!!
Oh, and I wanted to mention that I survived spring break in Las Vegas and it was a blast. I have pictures coming for ya’ll to seee!!
And now for FBFF:
In the beginning –So far, what have been the 5 hardest blogging lessons you’ve learned?
1. Don’t compare your blog too much to other peoples. When I first started blogging I couldn’t help but compare compare compare. I would look at other blogs and wish mine looked just like theirs and that I did exactly what they did. Now, I am a lot more accepting of my blog. I am just doing it for fun and for myself and if people like what I do then SCORE! But, I have realized its not a competition and I don’t need to compare to other people.

2. Leave sincere comments & comment back. When commenting on other blogs it is important to be sincere. Nothing bothers me more than when people say ‘Please become my follower.’ I follow blogs because I enjoy them or I received a wonderful comment from that person. Commenting is a wonderful networking tool and can be so useful as long as the comments are real. Also, don’t forget to comment back!!

3. Get creative. I have learned so much from blogging and that it can be my creative outlet. I have designed layouts, get to take photos, edit them, and write. I also get to put outfits together that maybe I wouldn’t have before and I get to SPOT people when they are looking amazing! Its awesome.

4. You don’t have to partake in every single blogging event. Ok. there are about a bajillion blogging events out there. Like 30 for 30, FBFF, Paperdoll Project…I could go on and on and on. It is so great that there are so many because any time you feel like you are getting bored you can do a project. However, don’t think you need to do them all. If I tried…I would die and not have time for real life. So, just do the ones that interest you and don’t overwhelm yourself.

5. It’s not a job (well not for me) SO HAVE FUN! Seriously. Blogs are for fun so don’t take your blog too seriously unless it really is your job!

  1. Love your 30x30 recap. Your outfits are so varied and chic. I agree with your FBFF lessons. I need to stop comparing my blog to others, as it usually comes off worse!

  2. Nice job on the 30x30! I love the blogging tips! I think (if I remember correctly) I started using Live Writer from your tips on here. I do feel crappy about my blog when I compare it to others, but I know it takes time. I have started doing my posts just to fit my personality and if others like it the better. Otherwise, it's a great book-marker for my favorite things!

  10. I love these tips...sometimes I really forget to have fun with my blog. It feels like one more thing I HAVE to do. And good job on the remixing. I love seeing how other people do the 30x30 but I can never quite commit to it.
