It’s no secret there’s a lot said about bloggers in general, and there’s certainly no shortage of criticisms and/or critiques of fashion bloggers specifically. We sometimes get the worst of it, because we show our faces, our bodies, and we talk about fashion & shopping – considered by many to be shallow pursuits.

And as the media are wont to do, “fashion bloggers” are usually lumped together as one entity – moving as a single blob across the Internet, taking over Instagram and Pinterest. Sadly, many of the fashion bloggers in question DO look very similar and post the same things at the same times (because they’re all working on the same designer collaboration), but there are many more of us out there who are different.

Not all fashion bloggers are walking billboards for whatever brand we’re working with today, but some of us are. Or at least appear to be.

Fashion bloggers don’t all live in NYC or SLC.

We don’t all stage our outfit posts, hiding a pair of sneakers or UGGs in the bushes to replace the stilettos we’re shooting our outfit in.

And not all of us have professional photographer friends/husbands/significant others who can take our photos, nor are most of us models, or even fancy ourselves models.
