I've come across blogs overtime that have excellent photographs and styling... But aren't recognized for it as they should, because they do not fit into a "category". Your personal style should show your feelings and your likes. Not necessarily whats currently in or whats the newest. I feel there is a lot of pressure on fashion bloggers to always have whats new, when not every blogger have the funds for it.
I always want my blog to be true to myself and my readers. I would never post something for the sake of being approved because everyone seems to fancy it. I purchase what I like and I wear what style I feel at that moment. Everyday is different for me whether it be grungy, classic, girly, sophisticated, sexy, rocker, or boho, etc.
A little flashback... Before I was even a teen I would lay out my magazines on my bedroom floor at the end of each month and snip, snip, snip. I cut out everything that I loved, and would create different looks and pasted them into notebooks. Now, between my blog and my tumblr I do the same thing. I post photos of my daily style, or post/reblog photos, videos, or music. Based on how I'm feeling, what I like, and whats inspiring me. From a notebook on my bedside table has now moved to a national webpage, blogger and tumblr. Live for anyone in any country to enjoy, or even to hate. And I'm fine with that. I don't want my blog to be about numbers, and followers. Its one big public journal for me. Containing myself, likes, adventures, inspirations, and laughs that I want anyone to enjoy as well.

DeleteHi Lauren, Interesting to find out that there is a growing number of websites and blogs posting about this subject. I completely feel what you are saying clothing should be about expressing yourself and not the mass esthetic feeling. Though I am not 'a blogger', I do have a blog to give more inspiration and vision on my eBoutique filled with vintage finds - www.TheStyleLion.com
