I do tend to have favourite pieces that I wear to death and which have featured many times on the blog, but then that's the reality of life, isn't it? No one can afford new stuff all the time! Everyday clothes are fine, that's reality too - although there is no real difference in my wardrobe, I'm as Curtisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362184504889147455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-29645943743862090772015-11-29T21:34:24.211+00:002015-11-29T21:34:24.211+00:00Hi Mim, I really enjoyed this article with your re...Hi Mim, I really enjoyed this article with your revelations and insights. I'm glad you still wear the green wooly as it is a thing of beauty and really suits your colouring. I love your hair in that photo and the one beneath it.

My favourite bloggers talk about lots of other things too, just clothes and makeup gets boring after a while. Plus - and this might sound weird - if someone looks too perfect all the time, I simply can't identify with them, and their blog just becomes all blah to me. I'd rather read about real people.

I think as time goes on, and more and more fashion bloggers start to have multiple years (or even a decade or more) of blogging under their belts, we'll see more truly cool posts like this that chart the course of one's personal style evolution.

It's a major issue for most of us, knowing "it's time" to let the world see us.

They do some of the best prints around - their 60s-style prints and Seasalt's deco ones really appeal to me. <br /><br />I'm not sure I'd pair the brown lace coat with anything but its dress, though if IMimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-35637168235941194292015-11-19T17:55:29.826+00:002015-11-19T17:55:29.826+00:00There will be no more knitwear for me until I have...There will be no more knitwear for me until I have finished the Very Important Project I am working on ;-) (Thank you for being patient with me for being such a slow knitter!) <br /><br />I am seriously considering getting my hair chopped.

Your knitting is wonderful and that's coming from a woman who doesn't own a jumper or a cardi. The winter workwear cardi is stunning, the perfect length and shape to show off your figure.<br />Have you tried the Vixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-53093197542639267082015-11-19T10:31:29.130+00:002015-11-19T10:31:29.130+00:00I think it's interesting to look at how you...I think it's interesting to look at how you've changed over the years and be reflective about it. I guess as bloggers we're lucky we can do this as most people don't have anything in print that they can compare themselves to. <br /><br />It's great to see that you still have things you wore several years ago, it's always fab to have those all time favourite pieces that youCatehttp://www.vintagegal.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-45812437499990096762015-11-19T09:27:10.559+00:002015-11-19T09:27:10.559+00:00Heh, I knit too slowly to have many knits to blog....Heh, I knit too slowly to have many knits to blog.

If you're a vintage collector, then the posts will tend to reflect that. I'm more of a bargain vintage lover, so what you see comes almost exclusively from thrifts-I don't have a specific time frame, though I prefer the 70's. <br /><br />If I could knit as beautifully as you do (yes you do!)

I don't really do many pictures of me in clothes (I'm allergic to having my picture taken.) so mine all appear on hangers! I don't know that my style has changed as such, I've certainly got a lot fatter which has had an effect on what I wear that's for sure. If anything I find I am wearing more colour and patterns.Miss Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10899889154015378547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-90585452645070432422015-11-18T21:06:20.666+00:002015-11-18T21:06:20.666+00:00I love that idea that you live in my computer!
