Fitting in Fashion!

Over the past year I've really taken to the personal fashion blogging world. It all started with a visit to Glamour.com where they featured a blogger Jessica Schroeder from WHAT I WORE. It was so interesting to see a fun, fashionable REAL woman blogging her daily outfits and style ideas. I'd always loved clothing and shopping but I was inspired to take a whole new approach to fashion and try to find my own personal style. I'm still looking for it and hope this blog will keep me on track & motivated. I use various fashion blogs and websites to get inspiration. I also love the Flikr group, Wardrobe Remix. Everyone in the "personal fashion blogging community" is so darn positive and wonderful, so I'd love to join it!

Now, moving on to the title of my blog. I live in Delaware and work in the social work field.... so you can imagine that my need to "dress-up" is really limited... so I do it anyway! I have to fit fashion into my life because it's a passion of mine and I don't want to short-change myself just because I'm in a terrible geographic location. I saw a girl at the grocery store recently who was wearing an on-trend, crazy awesome outfit and had the confidence to make it work. I knew at that point that I could wear anything I want as long as I carry myself in a way that says "I make this look good". Another reason for my title, I'm not exactly an "ideal" body shape for fashion, but I like to think I'm pretty darn cute and self-aware. I know what styles work on me and which I should run far away from. So my title also reflects the fact that I need to find fashion that fits into my body-type and personality and budget. I'm so excited to finally begin this blog and wake-up (almost) everyday and put together outfits that make me feel strong, pretty, and confident!

Here goes nothing!!!!
