Another post by my guest blogger from the HCBN network, Ak Brown.
I
hope you guys are familiar with one of my last posts on "Why
Everyone Can't Be a Fashion Blogger". If you do you might have noticed a comment
from a great blogger I know, saying something along the lines of how fashion
bloggers and style bloggers are very much different. I do agree that fashion bloggers and style
bloggers are different in a way, but to be honest, the real difference between
a great fashion blogger and a great personal style blogger is absolutely
nothing. Yep I said it, stop looking at
the screen like I said something dumb or confusing. The real difference between a great fashion
blogger and a great personal style blogger is nothing. Here's why;
Going
back a bit to my last post, it surfaced around how a lot of these girls believe
that if they post some cute pics here and there that they're instantly a fashion
blogger, and a lot of my readers think that if that doesn't make them a fashion
blogger, then that makes them a personal style blogger, and that's also very
much wrong. Even though fashion blogging
and personal style blogging are in two different niches, they still serve a
purpose of providing quality content that will engage the reader, spark
interest, get a conversation going, and sometimes go out of the box when it
comes to topics that are being discussed.
Just because you are a personal style blogger doesn't mean that your
reader base doesn't expect quality content from you. I don't care to just look at pretty pictures
of the same type of outfits. We all know
the typical Instagram blogger outfit, a signature Chanel chain bag, blazer, and
pointed toe heels, sunglasses glued to the face and walking down the street as
if she didn't have a goddamn care in the world.
That is not blogging! I would
prefer much more style tips on how to dress for different occasions, celebrity
looks for less, where to find staple pieces, makeover stories, etc. Just because your niche is to showcase unique
ensembles, that doesn't mean quality content shouldn't follow behind it.
More
importantly, a lot of bloggers are both fashion and personal style bloggers, we
are indeed. We like to not only give our
opinions on controversial topics going on in the fashion industry but we also
try and give some tips and outfit inspirations here and there. In my opinion, I think we are all fashion
bloggers, and then there are the sub categories where personal style comes into
play where some people love to focus heavily on that. Nothing wrong with that by any means, but
once again, just don't think that putting up a few generic outfit pics make you
a blogger. It's more work put into it.
