As I ...Tiffany, thanks for adding in your feedback! As I said in my response to Cee, I in no way intended my comment to be aimed at bloggers, so it looks like a case of bad wording. I am not saying, nor have I ever said that one type of media was better than the other, just different. There is a very heavy emphasis on fantasy fashion and I want to give women who would like to see more realistic fashion in the media a place to discuss real life fashion - not because it is better, but b/c that is our personal preference! I respect you (or anyone else's) preference to fantasy fashion and I just ask for the same respect in return! <br /><br />As to why I included the parenthesis portion - that is because I knew there would be a lot of questions/comments "why don't you just go outside and take pictures?" b/c I get that question a lot, so I did indeed need to address it directly. No idea how my explanation was so misunderstood but I'm glad you girls brought it to my attention so that I could change it! (Going back and editing now.)As for my tweet, that is SO not what I was trying to do LOL! Omg, that is horrible!! I wanted more people's feedback to see if my statement really seemed mean-spirited and/or aimed at bloggers b/c it was really not intended to be that way. I took it down off Twitter b/c I decided to ask a couple PR friends to give me their opinion versus putting it out in the open. The written word can be so frustrating sometimes b/c I think a lot of times people hear a different tone or intent behind it, and don't speak up or ask for clarification. I'm really glad you and Cee brought this to my attention so I could clarify and make some edits! Thanks ladies. :-) jseverydayfashionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6052955337499363741.post-78255970004626545732012-02-25T20:48:23.064-05:002012-02-25T20:48:23.064-05:00although you didn't specifically refer to othe...although you didn't specifically refer to other bloggers in the post, by writing "keeping this blog realistic" just before mentioning the field frolickers, you imply that you are comparing your blog to other blogs (not magazines). While the media does this often in editorials, we are all aware that many bloggers take their ootd shots "on location" (ie fields,woods, etc.) as well. One way isn't better than the other... and by comparing the two methods you make it seem as if your way is superior because it is more "realistic". Cee isn't the only one who read it as a diss, and even though you didn't mean it to come off in that way it did. Also, I saw your tweet referring to Cee's comment specifically (it seems you've deleted it since then), which is what brought me to this post. She seems to be the only dissenter so I have to assume your tweet was an attempt to bring the white knights out to defend you and/or attack her opinion? Again, maybe not your intentions but the act came off as a bit incendiary nonetheless.

If you are...Cee, I totally appreciate your opinion! If you are referring to this post, I'm actually not talking about bloggers (if you go back and read I don't mention them at all), nor was I dissing anyone! When I refer to frolicking in fields, I meant media in general - magazine editorials are where that idea came from originally, and while many bloggers use that format, that comment was in no way directed at any one group.<br /><br />It is my personal preference to read media that is realistic. But just as "I don't like this outfit" is a valid opinion and one that I would be willing to express with you guys, I think that saying "I don't like that kind of media" is just as valid. It's not coming from a negative place, and there will always be a need for Vogue and couture in the world, I just wish there were more alternatives and that "realistic" fashion wasn't so frowned upon. I truly hope that we have a "Rachael Ray of fashion" in my lifetime. It would be great if that's me, but I just want to see someone (anyone!) take on that role, and in general I want to see the fashion media landscape change to be more realistic, which is why I'm so passionate about keeping my blog realistic. That's all I meant. :-)jseverydayfashionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6052955337499363741.post-65275012375444051562012-02-24T22:26:14.588-05:002012-02-24T22:26:14.588-05:00i love your blog and enjoy reading it everyday. th...i love your blog and enjoy reading it everyday. the only thing i don't like is when you diss other blogs for what they do.

Curious to see how my new camera performs under those conditions! Everything about my photos and the backdrop was driving me crazy so I'm excited to at least be trying something new!<br /><br />As for the BR post, all of that stuff is listed in my Table of Contents tab!

I like your site in general because it really is "everyday" fashion- so I (a person with 0 fashion knowledge, and who doesn't want to dress crazy avante garde) can actually apply your looks. I know there have been a couple people who complain it is too boring- but I don't think so at all! It is WEARABLE and elegant and EVERDAY. It is a way I can dress for work so I don't look boring and blah, but don't look unprofessional or crazy! My only complaint was with the yellow-ish pictures. <br /><br />I also like how you usually get things for reasonable prices...I pretty much only buy things at Banana Republic if they are on sale. I think you had a post once about how to find things a good price, and might even have mentioned BR specifically...If you see this, would you mind posting the link to it?
