Dear Style Bloggers (or is it more politically correct to call you "Fashion Bloggers"?), How do you do it? How do you find the time and motivation to get all done up each and every day, take photos of yourself, edit those photos, and post them online? First, let me address the fact that you are indeed picking out a perfectly accessorized outfit and doing your hair and makeup every single day. Most days I'm lucky if I make it out of my sweatpants let alone even think about accessorizing. Does my daughter's hair tie that she yanks from her head every time I futily attempt to put a pony tail in and inevitably end up wearing on my wrist count as an accessory? That's technically a bracelet, right? Second, let's talk about taking photos of yourself. How in the heck do you get over that awkwardness? I did it, once, and I'm not sure I have it in me to do it again. If you're not taking them yourself, how did you con someone into enduring public embarrassment and risk getting hit by a car? That is, if you're taking them in the middle of the road like all of the other style bloggers. And what's going on just beyond the frame of the camera that's so darn funny? Third, why don't you use the restroom before you start your photo shoot? Pigeoned toes, legs pulled tightly together, sometimes they're even crossed if you have to go real bad, I can tell the potty dance when I see it. Really, just use the potty before you start taking pictures. There might not be a bathroom in the middle of a busy intersection. If you could enlighten this (mostly) stay at home mom as to how you manage to look so dang cute all the time, that would be greatly appreciated. Bonus points if you also have children, in which case I consider you Super Woman.
Sincerely,
The mom blogger currently sitting at her computer (during nap time) wearing sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt.
