Thank you so much for the great tips. I'm not quite sure what I would add on a normal basis such as cooking or traveling but maybe throw those in there to mix things up a bit. I've seen bloggers who mainly show pictures and very little text and others who share everything going on in their life. I guess I just don't find my life all that interesting at the moment to share. I like reading about blogger's lives and getting to know them. Push comes to shove, I bet I could find endless amounts of ideas online! <br />Taking pictures on the weekends is a good idea. I tend to do several outfits during a photo session just because I never know when our next one will be.<br />Thank you again so much!Jessica @ Here(and)Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429809022803369394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007568342583669711.post-21949401659531196042013-09-10T21:46:27.585-05:002013-09-10T21:46:27.585-05:00Ooh great tips!

My blog...Thank you so much for your comment Lauren. My blog is really my only creative outlet right now (besides wedding planning), so I honestly feel like I have new ideas for posts bubbling up all the time. Personally, I think it is important to find something that you are interested besides just the outfits & write about that. For me it is building a functional & classic wardrobe no matter what your age/budget. Do you like to cook? Travel? Are you interested in talking about trends you saw on street style blogs? Read anything good lately? Did you discover a new band? What pieces are you looking to add to your closet in the coming season?<br /><br /><br />Also, don't feel like you are selling out by hosting a giveaway for a product that you believe in & think that your readers will like. Giveaways can be a fun way to show the products that you support & thank your readers for stopping by & interacting every day. <br /><br /><br />Finally, during this time of year I come home & photograph my outfits after work, but come daylight savings time it is a different story. When pinched for time/daylight hours I like to lay out my outfits on my bed/chair after I wear them, and then photograph them all at once on the weekends... hope that helps!<br />xxJessica @ Here(and)Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429809022803369394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007568342583669711.post-58291135372628057682013-09-10T00:19:53.511-05:002013-09-10T00:19:53.511-05:00Chelsea,
