I like the look of the cropped blazer over the long button down shirt.
Layers are one of my favorite ways to remix my wardrobe.

me crazy about your blog.’
that drive you crazy about blogs you visit."
Most of my pet peeves for bloggers will be from a reader's perspective since I haven't quite figured out how I want my own blog to look yet.
1. Misspellings. I hate seeing misspelled words in online articles, e-mails, and even blogs. I can't stand poor grammar either, but I get that spell check won't catch those mistakes on a blog. And as someone who studied French for years, I hate it when I see the word VoilĂ ! spelled as Viola, which is a stringed instrument.
2. Links that don't work. What's worse than clicking on a link that doesn't take you anywhere?! You're thinking "Ooh, that's cute!" or "That sounds like an interesting article" and you start to click with your mouse and the URL is wrong or missing or extinct and then you're super disappointed. You're a little sad and a lot frustrated. I hate that.
3. REALLY blurry pictures. I know that sometimes you get desperate and want to use your phone's camera, but at least get someone else to take the picture if it's always blurry when you do it. I'd rather read an outfit description than see a super blurry picture. And I don't mean a little fuzzy, but super blurry. I'm sure I've violated this pet peeve of mine at some point and believe me, when I did, it really bothered me!
4. Blogs that are too busy. I have seen a few blogs where I have to highlight the words in the post just so I can read them. Or the design is just overwhelming that I don't even want to read the post. It makes me wonder if the blogger has even viewed their own blog. Sometimes I wonder if my blog background is a little too busy. Please tell me if it is!
5. No pictures. I am a very visual being and need to see pictures in a post! For fashion bloggers, that's not a problem. We often have too many pictures, haha. But i like to read other blogs as well and sometimes I want the insightful blogs or funny blogs to have a few pictures too. Just change it up a little so I don't get bored while reading.
Speaking of, here's a few more pictures for you.
I know I look cheesy but I'm attempting to model some of my clutches for my Etsy shop. What do you think?
I am with ya on spelling errors! Dude, blogger has spell check! I have seen 'voila' typed as 'wah lah!' I am not sure if they are trying to be cutresy or what, but it comes across as not very intelligent if you ask me!
ReplyDeletei also hate when there are no photos on a blog or when you click a link and it's broken....get all excited to check out something and bam, shut down! no good

Cute clutches! I want to learn how to make those! :) I am so with you about spelling errors. One of my greatest pleasures is proofreading billboards and signs for spelling and/or grammar errors. I guess that translates over to blogs too! :)

YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL. also we have all the same pet peeves. love ittttt!
ReplyDeleteThat blazer is adorable, love it. Perfect staple for the summer!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your responses. #1 and #4 are too of my biggest pet peeves. Everyone makes mistakes on occasion, sure, but spellcheck should be mandatory.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
White blazers are so classic. What a great piece to wear frequently!
