Confined to a "Fashion Blog"

Over the recent year, the idea of having a blog solely dedicated to the world of fashion has really appealed to me, and as a 17 year old high-school student, I dreamt of gaining success as a fashion blogger.  Of all the things I could become famous for in the fashion industry, why as a fashion blogger you ask? (You probably weren't even asking yourself that but I'm going to tell you anyways) I'm not wealthy enough to become a famous fashion socialite, nor do I have the money to become famous for dressing nicely, I don't have the height or the looks to become a model, and I am nowhere near good enough to become a fashion design prodigy. I'm really just an average guy who loves fashion and wants to pursue a career in it.

So it's three in the morning as I type this out on my bed, and I ask myself why am I making this post? Well to be honest, I think it's because I'm tired of trying so desperately to become an overnight hit with my half-ass blog posts. Posts that I have made just so that I have something to show on my so-called fashion blog. I started out really excited because I had bought a domain after spending countless hours making sure I would still love it later (I still do!), and I mean who wouldn't be excited to start their own website/blog! I had a huge list of ideas for posts that I would do, telling myself that I would do OOTD's, make DIY's, and so much more, yet I constantly found myself doing none of which I told myself to do. Then the half-ass posts started to roll in; I started making collages of outfits inspirations that really had no effect on me, and I would review collections that I was far too behind on, none sufficed in making me proud of my blog. There was no passion or sense of accomplishment that came with completing these posts, thus leading up to the reason why I am disregarding the idea of I, owning a fashion blog.
I believe that the only way for my to become happy and proud of what I post is if I don't have a "fashion blog" mentality with what I write. I will write as someone who includes fashion in their blog but is not limited to it. Adding onto my transition from becoming more than just a wannabe fashion blogger, being that I have started my first year of University I will also be making updates about my life in Uni!


So for those of you who have taken the time to read this, thank you! I really do appreciate it. I hope that I have captured your attention and that you join me as I chronicle what lies ahead of me.
