Comfortable dressing

Comfortable dressing

Even though at times I tend to flirt with summer dresses and black tapered trousers, comfortable is for me the ultimate way of how I like to dress. Nothing special, yet every item is of quality and will last me a long time. As silly as it sounds, I like the feeling of ‘feeling home’ in one’s clothes and if I don’t I feel quite uncomfortable. If a wardrobe consists out of only basic pieces, it is surely able to last for the big picture.

Also, a question that has been on my mind for a while: when did it happen that people started blogging for an audience instead of the good old type of blogging, which was an outlet, or more of a online journal for thoughts and articles that were only there to be read, spark a discussion and entertain their reader in a non-suggestive, non-profitable way? Most blogs nowadays tend to overdo, in terms of fashion (who wears 3 different hues of neon in one outfit? Answer: people that get paid for it), articles (bland sponsoring in an article does not equal an article) and persona’s (silly posts regarding events that actually contain less facts or information than a Christmas greeting card). Reading all of this over and over again has demotivated my blogging habits a bit. On a more positive note, there still happen to be blogs out there that contain interesting opinions, clean and well-picked outfit combinations and that are non-profit. Over time they just get more and more difficult to come across; the field is currently so big that pictures tend to get more interest than articles.

I wonder whether in the future this will also take its toll on (fashion) journalism, where we tend to see articles getting shorter and less profound. Let’s hope that with new magazines (such as The Gentlewoman) and online magazines with more reflective articles the scene will liven up a little again.
