new blog! with pictures and stuff!

About a week ago as I was browsing around the internet, reading all the fashion blogs that I love and admire, I suddenly thought, "Self, you are bored.  You are drifting.  You need a goal to stick to that won't require money or some else's consent.  You should.... hey!  Blog!  Yours!  Every day!"

I've kicked around the idea of doing a daily fashion blog for a while now... and suddenly it seemed like the perfect idea.  No, I don't have an extensive wardrobe or much money or even get dressed every day, but by golly, I do love clothes.

It's called A Frivolous Distinction and is here on blogger.

And considering how I started this journal out only for costuming and now it pretty much encompasses my life, I'm not sure how tightly focused the fashion blog will remain.  I've already branched out by posting there about VSF this past summer and what I made... speaking of which, I ought to post those pictures here too... I'll have to think about how much overlap I want between the two.

I took a quick peak and your outfits are very cute. :)

I've contemplated the idea of starting a fashion blog (more geared towards vintage wear, though) but what has stopped me is my very bipolar schedule - I'll have days to weeks where I have endless time to sew, put myself together and take pictures of it, and then other times I am busy beyond belief and feel like collapsing on the couch in my pj's. That being said, I definitely admire and stand in awe of your daily commitment to fashion blog, and hope that one day my schedule will be more regular to where I can do the same. :)

Thanks! I'd be very interested in a fashion blog of yours, and to tell the truth, some of my favorite bloggers only update very sporadically. The only reason I'm attempting daily posts is that I personally need a commitment of some sort. And blogging is at least fun!

Ooooh, Daily Gwendolyn Fashion!! Very cool :D I'll be checking it out regularly!

Not QUITE as cool as doing drawings of daily fashion though! ;) I still think your idea there is genius. But I'm glad you approve! :D

Hee, thanks!! I need to get going on that again (I'm still drawing them, but I haven't posted in forever and now I have a lot of scanning and uploading and posting and (ideally) description-writing to do to get caught up.) One thing I like about photos like you're doing is you can see the actual colours and patterns and stuff!

(also, I like the background-spaces you've used so far in your posts. Especially the pirate ninja mage day—I love everything about those photos.)
