A blog. I has started a blog. About clothes and that.

[spanglechick]

Hum. Shameless self-promotion I'm afraid.

Anyway, I've started a blog about clothes and shoes and underpinnings and that. It's called Swelegant Style Shopping and it's here.

It's honestly not that I'm holding myself up as an authority - just an obsessively interested fan of looking good when you're built like the opposite of a fashionista.

So, I reckon - tips on getting stuff for a bargain, lovely items that catch my eye, perhaps suggestions for people stuck for outfit ideas (although threads and dreads will obviously be the best place to come...)

anyway, if the thought doesn't nauseate you too much, please come and have a look.

That's lovely spangles, I like the layout and the background is lovely!

I feel this is the start of something big! 'Spangle de Jour' for fashion?

may I recommend a very interesting group on flickr, wardrobe_remix, with photos of ordinary people and their outfits for your blog?

Was it Madam, you were calling her? Her, anyway. She said you looked hot. Purple tights, I heard.

Make sure you set your 'comments' box to 'moderated' else it'll fill up with spam in no time.

By the way, did you ever read Dear Annie, from, I think, the Independent? I see you as like her, except that she was more about clothes than fashion, if you see what I mean. Will you be taking, like, questions about stuff? Like, um, say: 'where can I find a military style belted black coat with a reeeeeally huge collar?' just as an example, of course, cos that would be really useful. I imagine.

I like your blog. Do you take requests?
Could you do something about different ways to tie scarves?

And rightness/wrongness of skirts being shorter/longer than coats. This is the thorn in my side all winter.

 

[miss direct]

and, aaaaaand: the age old dilemma: comfort vs style when it comes to shoe choice.

 

[geminisnake]

It might be worth us(urbettes) knowing what shoes others are bidding on when we're bidding so we're not upping prices unnecessarily iykwim, if a few of us are looking at ebay.

Lovely blog. I'm a follower

ooh, yess - keep them coming! I shall aim for a blog a day (stop giggling at the back) and will work these in soon! (missf - do you mean woolly scarves or ladylike scarves?)

very good point. of course by publicising my little system i may have completely ruined it for everyone...


anyway. yay! tell your friends and stuff... swelegantstyleshopping ftw.

I liked it too, really good tips about ebay. I dont tend to buy footwear from there because if sizing and fit issues.
Spangles I'd love you to make me over I'm in a rut and have thread to prove it
