But I know what you're thinking...
"BBMo... don't you already HAVE 3 blogs?"
Yes. Yes I do. And now I want a fourth.
FYI, the other three are:
Chronicles of a Lost Woman Child-- where I rant, get ignant and sometimes drop gems of wisdom wrapped in foolery
Daughters- In HER Shadow-- a blog I contribute to about being a second generation Immigrant Woman being raised by a culutrally traditional family... go check it out sometime. Interesting stuff we write
LostWomanChild: Journeys In Verse- some of my writing is showcased there.
"But BBMo... why don't you use those other blogs to talk about style with substance?"
Did you not read above? Those blogs have ENOUGH going on!!! Sheesh!
Besides... this blog is a bit self serving. As I approach the ripe old age of "jgnjuie", I feel like I have developed a stylisitc identity... but I'm always looking to add to it, hone it, perfect it... have it speak from my soul.
Moreover, being 'thicker than the average chick' has led me on a path of self discovery with style, substance and substantive style... and stylish substance.
When I was younger, being anything above a 12 meant dressing like your mom. Boooooooooooo on the fashion industry for that. Espeically since the average American woman wears a 14.
As time has gone on, there have been more style options, but I still find a lot of women struggling with their style identity... and their overall sense of self. While I by NO MEANS have it all figured out, I have learned some things that I think are valuable to share.Why not have a space to share ideas about style secrets.
This blog is going to fall somewhere along the lines of... Elle meets Vogue meets Vanity Fair meets Shape meets Better Homes and Gardens
Ways to jazz up yourself and your life... so that you can live it more abundantly.
Some topics I hope to hit--
Finding clothes that FIT- knowing how to stay stylish (not trendy) while dressing your body appropriately
Self Expression Through Styling- preppy? boho? corporate queen? show thine true self
Lustworthy Accesories- shoes, bags, sunglasses, jewels, scarves... it will all go here
Health and Wellness- You cannot be fly unless you are fit! And fit doesn't mean thin. It means HEALTHY... mind, body and soul.
Palacial Surroundings- every man's home may be his castle, but every woman's home is her PALACE. Ways to jazz up your space so you are at peace.
Give Good Face- tips and tricks for great face. I actually subscribe to TONS of beauty blogs that cater to women of color, so you will mainly find links here.
I struggle with my own skin from time to time.
This is an OPEN BLOG. Meaning if you have ideas to contribute, LET ME KNOW!! Like I said, I don't know everything and I want to learn to!
Let's embark on this journey of substantial style together.
