Friend Friday: Blogging Up To the Hype aka Blog Envy

This week’s Modly Chic’s Friend Friday topic is on Blog Envy.

Some of us know all to well how easy it is to become discouraged by some of the very successful blogs out there. All too often, we compare ourselves and suddenly find that we are lacking. Check out my short video where I tackle the following questions:

    1. Have you ever looked at someone’s blog and thought yours will never
    measure up?
    2. Do you (did you) feel pressure to meet some kind of undefined
    standard for fashion bloggers?
    3. Many established fashion bloggers are also extraordinary DIYers,
    bakers, and crafty people. Do you think you need to combine all of
    these things to be successful at blogging?
    4. The most successful blogs are the ones that have their own personal
    voice – how are you developing your voice or how did you find yours?
    5. Toot your own horn… what’s one thing you do that is unique to you
    and your blog? What gives your blog an edge?

      Thanks! Sometimes it’s a lot easier for me to ramble than to try and type out coherent thoughts, lol.

    I feel the same way about what gives a blog an edge. It’s your blog and it’s only one you so that’s what gives it the edge. We can’t compare ourselves.
    Good video.

    I really enjoyed this video. Makes the blogsphere feel like its filled with real people. I actually talked about this a bit in one of my earlier posts. When I first stumbled upon fashion blogging it was really demoralizing to see all the grandeur and whatnot and my first blog was like an unhealthy obsession. I eventually stepped back and shut it down. I’m back now after a few months of cooling off and it’s been great. It’s a lot less me-pressure. I appreciate your honesty :]

    Loved the video Kendra!!! I didn’t know you worked in the technology field…I’m an engineer and my blog provides a similar outlet for me. It’s nice to know there’s someone else out there who has a techie job but maintains their femininity and style!
