Safe Places in Leather

Guys, I had the most insane thought a few moments ago...I actually considered starting a new blog anonymously .  For some strange reason I felt reservations about being completely transparent on this platform.  Honestly, I felt an inkling of fear about being myself and sharing here on my very own blog, but why?? Especially since I've been blogging for 5 years.

If you know me personally then you know that I am incredibly accommodating, so in my mind, I thought that maybe since this is a fashion and style blog that you guys wouldn't be interested in hearing a rant or talk about my personal development.  Over time, as I've gotten older, I have done quite a bit of psychological work to become this strong mind individual.  And although, I may seem detached and rather reserved when interacting with others, I am very in tuned with myself.  Please let me know if you would be interested in more personal content, along with outfit posts.  I want this blog to be a safe place for all of us to share our amazing style, as well as personal testaments.  Overtime, I learned that on the surface we may seem different, but we are all really similar and share many of the same struggles.  Here's to knowing a little bit more about the sharply dressed young lady in all of these photos. 

Outfit time:::  I'm sporting one of my favorite vintage blouses.  I just love the elegance that the pussy-tie bow gives.  This blouse is also 100% silk, and feels absolutely amazing on my skin.  I know I thrifted it years ago, but I can't recall from where.  I do, however, know exactly where this awesome pink leather skirt is from.  I bought this beauty in the Zara sale many years ago.  I would like to add that you may never know the many outfit options a pink leather skirt can provide until you own one.  The possibilities are endless guys.  I vote pink as a new neutral.

Sporting my Best Asset...SMILE

I'm back you guys sporting a huge smile, and a new little outfit featuring a few new pieces.  This post was actually suppose to go up ages ago, but you guys know me and my fight with consistency.  Anywho, here we are at the end of March in a sweater, alpaca skirt and pair of ankle boots.  The weather has been rather distressing this year, being as though, we are well into Spring but most days we are still wearing heavy coats and layers.

Moment of Retrospection: Razzle Dazzle & Fringe

Hey guys, I recently spoke to a blogger babe of mine and she had to basically talk me off a ledge about overall blogging and maintaining consistency.  Although, I'm not a person that follows trends, I will say that sometimes there are specific formulas you have to follow in order to produce desired results.  

So to bring the idea home and apply it to my blogging woes - the formula is to blog, blog, blog and blog some more, even if there isn't much traffic or popularity initially.  With consistency, your hard work will always fall into the laps of "the lords", and your overall body of work will be able to tell your authentic story better than any bio or media kit could.  

With my newfound confidence in my blog's pace and progress, I still can't promise four post a week; however, I will attempt to be on a more consistent schedule getting out content.
