Help! Clueless blogger here!

On December 31st 2012 around midday I was frantically scribbling down that all-too-familiar list of New Year's resolutions. On the whole, they were pretty reasonable; start yoga classes, keep well organised, blog my outfit everyday- wait, WHAT?

It seems that I seriously underestimated the dedication needed to run a successful blog. I challenged myself to post an outfit for every day of 2013, but have now come to realise that once you fall behind it's pretty hard to get back. Please, please somebody advise me. Preferably with a manual: 'Blogging for Dummies' or 'Blogging for Clueless Teens'.

I also considered doing a 'designer of the day' post (you see, my phone and laptop are getting clogged with photos of fashion shows I can pretend I attended and lists of designers I can pretend I've met).
Maybe I'll try 'designer of the WEEK' - that's more realistic.

 I also have a Lookbook, Tumblr and Instagram - which of these should I be posting daily on?! I think it's safe to say I'm not doing so well with my resolutions. And I still haven't started that yoga class.

I'd love to receive any advice from you guys - and if any of you post daily outfits, how do you manage it?? (I should probably let you know that I'm an A-Level student and can't spend as long as I'd like to on here)



Oh - here is what I wore today!


This is just a simple panelled dress that I picked up in Birmingham last year. On top of it is a denim skirt from House of Fraser that was in the sale at the incomprehensible price of £5! I absolutely love the buttons on this skirt; they remind me of fuzzy grandma cardigans in sleepy charity shops.




 
Now who remembers Cheryl telling us to fight for love? Like we could forget.
Her music video marked the beginning of the military craze, and like a good little sheep I bought my share of military style clothing. From Camden Market, this jacket really stood out. The detailed embroidery distinguished it from many other jackets, and makes it suitable to wear both during the day and with eveningwear. We like versatility.
 
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love

    Awww, I used to be like this When I started my blog 2 months ago, I was CLUELESS!
    Look at it now, it does take a lot of dedication and it is time consuming. Most people assume blogging is easy but it really isn't.

    I have rules of my own:
    - POST EVERYDAY OR AT LEAST 4 TIMES A WEEK TO KEEP YOUR READERS ENGAGED.
    - ALWAYS REPLY TO EVERYONE
    - OUTFIT POSTS ARE ALWAYS GREAT, SHOWCASES YOUR ERSONALITY
    - POST DAILY ON INSTAGRAM AND TWITTER
    - HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR
    - MOST OF ALL, BE YOURSELF. THIS IS YOUR BLOG, POST WHAT YOU WANT!

    I hope those helped, thats how I manage my blog:)

    OK.. the rules of blogging are that there are no rules. Post what you want, when you want! If you're happy posting an outfit every day go for it, if not there's no point getting worked up over it.

    Above all ENJOY YOURSELF :D
